Friday night's performance at Yankee Stadium against the Philadelphia Phillies confirmed two things: Ryan McMahon doesn't have the capability to solve all this team's problems by himself, and Scott Effross and his vaunted "years of control" are not long for the Yankees' bullpen.
The Yankees entered the top of the seventh inning with a 3-2 lead, wondering how they'd navigate through their beleaguered 'pen. The ended the top of that frame down 6-3, and ended the game in the mud at 12-5, kicked in the teeth repeatedly before the final bell. Effross entered to soak up the ninth after Ian Hamilton had surrendered a Schwarbomb, and could not for the life of him record the final out, draining more life from the ballpark with every frisbee slider.
