Michael Pineda got ejected for having pine tar on his neck in the middle of the second inning. And that was after he had a terrible first inning where he was squeezed, gave up 2 runs and threw over 30 pitches. It wasn't helping! The Yanks answered the Red Sox manager's sicking the umps on their pitcher by rolling over for John Lackey and his 92 mile an hour fastball. They're not going to beat many teams if they can't turn on 92...
Meanwhile. Pineda will be suspended, it will be interesting to see for how long. Just a terrible effort all around tonight, and Girardi did nothing to get back at the Farrell, who's pitchers have been caught by the cameras a lot. Gutless.

There will be other days for strategic retaliation, but Cashman calling what Pineda did "terrible" (rather than say, really stupid) was nauseating.
The lack of walks by this lineup is a much more disturbing issue going forward than this little episode by Pineda.
Them not being able to turn around 92 mph pitches was frightfully embarrassing.
Just win today.
