Nobody is saying that Garcia should have kept pitching. But this is a failure no matter how you look at it:
"The Yankees couldn’t go to Zack Britton, Aroldis Chapman or Chad Green. Each of them had pitched in the earlier game. For Britton and Chapman, it was their second straight day of work. For Green, it was his third. If Boone turned to Adam Ottavino, it would have been his third straight day. The Yankees rarely use a reliever three days in a row during the regular season."
Yes, I expected Ottavino to pitch three days in a row. If he was successful, he would have only had to pitch to one batter to close out the inning.
Two innings to go.
Green for the second time in one day, then Chapman for the second time in one day.
I'd skip Britton because he has walked 7 batters in 12 innings and this annoys me.
Put on your big boy pants and play major league baseball.
It might not have worked out. Nobody in the bullpen has been reliable lately.
But maybe the Yankees should start trying. Get a professional roster and try to win the games. You've only got 22 games left. Stop whining about the schedule and the circumstances.
