Today on Pinstripe Alley - 8/4/21

If Monday night’s game left a sour taste in your mouth, hopefully, Tuesday’s cleansed things a bit. The Yankees got a super impressive glimpse from prospect Luis Gil and pounded the Orioles to give themselves a shot at another series win. They’re in position to secure that win as they’ll throw Jameson Taillon, July’s AL Pitcher of the Month, to the mound, while Baltimore will respond with Matt Harvey, who’s been battered to the tune of a 6.20 ERA this year. It’s hard to get a wider mismatch on paper, and the Yankees will need to capitalize.

On the site, we’ve got a murderer’s row of J’s. John argues that the Yankees must extend Joey Gallo and Aaron Judge, Jesse discusses the Yankees’ leadoff problem, and Josh introduces a new site feature, the PSA pregame Twitter spaces show.
