The Yankees won the series against the Twins- but they lost tonight.
Here's something I believe:
There's no such thing as a hitter's park; there's no such thing as a pitcher's park.
New Yankee Stadium is bandbox, a hitter's paradise. But New Yankee Stadium is one of the hardest parks to hit a double or triple in. And Target Field is a really hard place to hit a homer (unless you're Jason Kubel), but a hitter can get his double and triples in bunches.
Javy died the death of a thousand cuts tonight: a couple runs on sac flies, a run on a ground out, a solo homer. Too many men on base (11) in just under 6 innings of work, he was lucky to get away with only 5 ER.
But I'll tip my cap: the Twins have a lineup designed to consume right handed pitchers, and that's what they did.
If anybody sees the Yankees' offense lying in a gutter somewhere, do us all a favor and FedEx it to the Bronx. Hopefully it arrives before the Indians.
