The Yankees and Braves are in the seventh inning of their game and so far the following things have happened:
- Eduardo Nunez lost his helmet running out a ground ball in his first at bat of the game. I don’t know if he lost it when he hit a double in the third inning but I’ll just assume he did.
- Francisco Cervelli threw a runner out at second.
- Zoilo Almonte hit a home run.
- Robinson Cano hit a home run.
- Mikey O’Brien gave up a home run.
- Cano also scored on a wild pitch.
- The Yankees have an error and it wasn’t Nunez’s, it was actually Corbin Joseph’s who was playing third base.
- Mark Teixeira and Matt Diaz have each grounded into a double play.
- Melky Mesa stole a base.
- Austin Romine just hit an RBI single to make it 8-3.
C'mon, Stacey… most of that I can believe, but Cervelli throwing out a runner? Now you've gone too far…
Not only that, he also almost nailed someone at first.
Looks like some of the young Yankee kids are trying to make a good impression very early in the spring. That can't help but give them some confidence.
I know I'm jumping the gun big time. But is it possible that Almonte could the the RH – DH the Yankees are looking for. He had a real good 2012 in Trenton last season?
You're not the only jumping that gun. Haha.
