The road trip would've been a little easier to stomach if the Yankees had played better against the Cardinals. I was hoping for a better ending yesterday, but let's face it Jordan Montgomery is the ultimate revenge seeker. We could've been no hit yesterday. He's beaten the Yankees twice now since we traded him. He may have been caught off guard by the move and says "it was their decision to get rid of me," but he's only thriving now, read more HERE. Thank goodness before this series we witnessed Domingo German's perfect game because without that, this road trip was a complete disaster.
Nothing against Harrison Bader, because I love his energy and what he brings to this team when he is healthy, but I miss Montgomery. I was never a fan of trading Monty, and let's face it this season we could use him more than ever. Our pitching outside of Gerrit Cole just hasn't delivered like we had anticipated, and Monty has been reliable and consistent. At least it could be a brighter spot even though our offense is nowhere to be found. I'd say Monty had his revenge, twice now and that makes it harder to swallow.
Aside from Monty's stellar pitching performance how about that horrific changeup thrown to DJ LeMahieu that was called for a strike? HOLY COW that was so far above the strike zone it wasn't even funny. I understand why Aaron Boone lost his temper and let umpire Dan Merzel have it. That was a terrible call. So Boone got his fifth ejection of the season and for once I am not mad at him. I'm glad he stood up for DJ. I just wish all of this anger would result in some more hitting and some wins.
We are 9.5 games back and the calendar has flipped to July. I am desperately waiting for something to feel good about.
