Today on Pinstripe Alley - 4/14/21

Tuesday night was another uninspiring day for the Yankees’ offense, though they at least picked a good arm to get dominated by in Hyun Jin Ryu. However, there is still a chance for a series win and evening this underwhelming road trip at 3-3. Corey Kluber will try to get things going against Ross Stripling, who the Yankees hit pretty hard in his first time out. (Update: JK, it’s T.J. Zeuch. Stripling was scratched.)

On the site today, we’ll have the latest episode of the Pinstripe Alley Podcast, Kunj will discuss Aaron Hicks and the importance of mental health, and Peter will preview relief prospect Brooks Kriske’s 2021. Later, Tom will dive into one of the stranger aspects of Gleyber Torres’s early results this season, and John will offer up a history lesson on the 2017 Yankees, who once looked worse than this group.
