It doesn’t get much more annoying for the Yankees than games like last night. It was miserable to attend due to the weather, there were multiple starts and stops, and just when it seemed like the Yanks would skate (swim?) to a shutout win, Devin Williams fell apart again. Luke Weaver didn’t help unfortunately in his first bad game of 2025 as the 3-0 lead in the eighth slipped away, but it was more of the same for Devin. Moral of the story: never walk Tyler Wade.
