Keegan Akin vs Gerrit Cole

Cole looked dominant and then totally fell apart last time so I'm curious how it'll go the first time he gets into some trouble

For the first three innings, I thought Cole might no hit the Orioles.  He was as dominant as a pitcher could be.  The Orioles adjusted and layed off the cutter, then hit the fast ball.  His body language changed rapidly and it looked the Orioles were going to get him, which is what they did.  Tonight will be interesting.

Also weather forecast says lots of rain so we might be looking at a late start or another doubleheader

Tough tough matchup for Akin.  The hope is we can get a big inning at some point.  I would avoid the temptation of trying to manufacture a run - don't want to risk giving away outs by being too aggressive on the bases.

This lineup has highlighted how guys have emerged.  4 improving players.

 

Mullins, DJ, Mountcastle and Severino, against Cole.    kudos to Hyde for going with the hot hands up front.

 

Our first 5 hitters

I guess Im that paranoid guy but I expect the Yanks to get a lot of home cooking this series.
