Clippard and Warren have been quite good replacing Miller and Chapman ... until they weren't.
If your strategy is to intentionally walk every Red Sox batter who's a Yankee Killer, there's nobody left to pitch to.
A better idea is to get Hanley Ramirez out once in a while.
I applaud Girardi for sticking with the plan. One can only hope that Refsnyder is learning something in his 200 at-bats ... his power numbers in 2016 are disappointing to say the least.
This is what Yankee fans pleaded for as the team squandered around .500 through the first four months. Give the young players some experience in the challenging environment of Fenway.
Do you want to play for the Yankees? Do you have plans to win the AL East in 2018? If so, you're going to have to beat Boston. Maybe Cessa and Mitchell and Severino got some experience they would not have gotten if the Yankees were still chasing a playoff pipe dream.
