You Can’t Spell Rzepczynski Without a K
Marc Rzepcynski, who may have the worst fastball for a starting pitcher with a value of -11.2 according to FanGraphs, absolutely baffled the Yankees for nine strikeouts in five innings of work while allowing only two runs. It clearly wasn’t his pitching that stymied the Yanks, so Rzepcynski must either have some hilarious impressions that cracked the Yankees up all day or he has some terribly incriminating photos of the Pinstriped gang hidden away somewhere.
The loss was the fifth in six games for the Bombers who look to go into the playoffs a bruised and battered ball club. Unfortunately for the rest of the league, this could be the same lame duck routine that the 2000 Yankees pulled when they lost seven of their final eight games before, you know, winning their fourth straight World Series.
Vernon Wells and John Buck homered while Jose Bautista watched, waiting to strike like a deadly assassin. Maybe tomorrow, Jose. Maybe tomorrow.
