Maybe they should have pushed the fences back a bit too?

David Wright had a fairly awful game. A couple of strikeouts and not being able to turn the double play on the play before the Yanks scored their only run. (Maybe the shift through him off?)

You wonder if the 2 rookies getting hits off one another was that they looked at the other as easy outs?

They kept showing Whitley’s mom praying like a nut job in the first inning. I can imagine how many times she told everyone in the section near her, “That is my son!” Still it would be hard not to be excited at your son’s big league debut.
