Today should have either been a day of celebration or sadness, but so far it’s just kind of nothing. Following their 1,587th rainout of the season yesterday, the Guardians and Yankees will take another run at finally finishing the longest five-game series ever today at 4 p.m.
While I don’t believe MLB is in cahoots with the Yankees or that Aaron Boone has some magical hold over decision-makers, the rainout certainly benefits the Yankees. Their tattered bullpen gets another rest day, and more importantly, they can start Nestor Cortes instead of Jameson Taillon. Personally, I felt surprisingly confident about winning if a game was played yesterday.
