Pine tar! Check his glove...just to break his concentration/rhythm.

Probably...

Kopech getting an extra 2-3 mph here. Or hot gun.

He didn’t expect to be in there and was hardly warmed up, since LaRussa hasn’t made that PH move with the catchers so early in a game all season long.

Urshela, Torres and Odor for Kopech, 4-6 hitters.

First early PH move of season like this by LaRussa...

Please give him a double, lol...E-7. Interestingly, Gardner is the one who actually got his glove on it.

Willie Adames traded by TB to MIL, opening up middle infield for Franco eventually.

Kopech will debut in the Bronx. Hopefully multiple innings tonight.

LaRussa is going to pull Rodon...it seems. Activity in the bullpen.

Cole, Bieber, deGrom with three 12 k games. Rodon now with two. Ties a career high...set just in April. And 13 breaks it. 11-12 consecutive retired. Also, Indians, Mariners and Rangers already no hit twice. Record is seven in a year, already have that at quarter pole if you count Bumgarner in seven inning DHer.

Mid 90s fastball, excellent curve and very solid change. Great control...attacking up in the zone, hard inside and soft stuff off the plate.

Rodon first pitcher since Sandy Koufax in the 1960 World Series to k the first five Yankees’ hitters in the Bronx.

This is the version of Abreu that Ron constantly used to bring up...minus the stellar defense.

Looks like Indians might have to take McKenzie out of their rotation. 6.89 ERA after tonight.

Doubles machine this year...ball not carrying. Or too much overspin. OPS up to 835. He was already #14 fWAR in majors coming into today, Anderson around 36, Yermin 48.

More trademark weak ass contact.

Second green apple for Rodon. State of Washington thanks Los for free advertising. Or Maine.

What did he say or do now? Nice to listen to a game where the announcers are actually focused 100% on the action in front of them...

About 35 more pitches left in the tank for Rodon...

27 straight scoreless innings for Yankees pitchers...three consecutive shutouts, essentially.

Hard inside, curves on the outer third or off the plate. Going to have to drive one over Judge into the crowd...Anderson maybe. The Jimenez Special.

These are the games where we need Eloy or Robert to break up a tie game with one swing...

1. Lynn 2. Rodon 3. Kopech/Cease Playoff rotation if it started this week. Still leaves Giolito and Keuchel on the outside looking in. Had Rodon second to break up the RHPers.

Miss Harrelson’s trademark “HE GONE, GAS!”...in games like this one.
