MC: Even after taking the first two games of this series, the Yankees are still 161-178 all-time at Angel Stadium, as opposed to 205-125 versus the Halos at home. What gives?
BO: I do think that there has always been something to the idea of east coast teams struggling when they come to the west coast because the travel wears on the players. I spent some of Friday with Mike Trout, and we were talking about the travel and sort of shaking our heads about the different circumstances that pop up. In an ideal world for the Yankees this weekend, they would have had no game on Thursday, traveled in and got a regular night’s sleep.
