Just when you think the Yankees have run out of creative ways to lose, they dig deep and find one more, yesterday allowing another spate of defensive sloppiness to devolve into a brutal 12-5 loss to the Blue Jays. New York has also found plenty of ways to bounce back from crushing defeats this year, and they’ll go at it once more tonight, with the steadily improving Will Warren facing off with José BerrÃos.
Ahead of the game today, we’ll have another suite of end-of-June check-ins, this time focusing on the NL, as Jeremy goes through what’s happened in the NL West, Nick Sarnelli analyzes the NL Central, and Michael reviews the NL East. Also, Madison runs down what the Yankees’ rivals did on Tuesday night, Matt writes the latest entry in the 2000 Yankees diary, which sees Roger Clemens return from injury, and Sam takes a look at the Pirates to see what they could offer up at the trade deadline.
