Counting this one, there are 12 more recaps of Yankee games this season. Before you get into the guts of this one, I’d like you to guess how many of those remainders will follow the “nothing really matters when nobody hits,” formula that we’ve had to use so often around here. For me, I say seven of them.
Clarke Schmidt wasn’t very good — more on him in a moment — and Zach McAllister let the ninth get out of hand, but nothing really matters when nobody hits. The top three in the Yankee order combined for five hits, and the club’s only run, while the rest of the lineup mustered a single base knock.
