Yankees summer camp game thread: J.A. Happ vs. Clarke Schmidt
Photo by Jim McIsaac/Getty Images We’ve seen several pitchers get their first shot at live action in camp recently, and now it’s time to get some reps in. Today features a rematch of the first intrasquad pitching matchup, with J.A. Happ going for the Yankees and Clarke Schmidt on the hill for the Bombers.
Happ’s job will be a little unorthodox as the Bombers will continue to use the 10-man lineup they introduced the other day, but the Yankees are returning to an ordinary 9-man lineup. There’s also a decent mix of regulars on both sides of the lineup, so this is a fair challenge to both starters navigating through the order.
