The long summer begins for Yankees fans as CC Sabathia allows four runs in the second inning. He got ahead of Jackie Bradley, Jr. 0-2 in the rookie first MLB plate appearance, but then didn’t get the call on a great breaking pitch on the outside corner (I thought it was a strike). Bradley walked, and then the flood gates opened. Three singles later, the Red Sox had taken a 4-0 lead. Yankees fans are no doubt thinking this will be a very tough campaign.
As a Yankees fan, I would say that lineup scares me a lot more than it does the opposition.
