I don't believe that our starting pitchers are ready for the game when it starts. Always the 1st inning they give up the most runs followed by the 5th inning. If they could get by the 1st inning things might be different. But as for last nights game I would like to know if Rothchild was taking a nap during the 1st 4 hitters? What took him so long to go to the mound ? We have lost 2 games to the A's in the 1st 2 innings. tale away those innings and the Yanks win
