Smoltz suggesed the Yankees just try and not bother with the splitter and see if he will throw strikes, and thats what they tried last couple of batters
Interesting that the Yankees went with their lefty line up. Yesavage had reverse splits in the minors as well as through his first 3 starts, mainly because of his splitter.
The great thing is that even though Hoffman, Gimenez, and Santander have been disappointments, if they help fuel a World series run none of that matters.
The big debate between the "all-star" Fox crew was whether the Yankees would win the world series, or lose it. I wonder what they will talk about post game lol
I'd let Hoffman pitch, he has struggled with long layoffs before. It's not like Hoffman is a secret to the Yanks. There really is only one secret between these two clubs, and he pitches tomorrow.
Yeah I understanding giving teams grace the first year, but they gotta phase that out. A QB doesn't get a free timout if his helmet speaker isn't working.
