Yankees Opening Day Ruined by Veras and Marte

Cleveland Indians 10 @ The New York Yankees 2

Yankees Report Card

Guys who did their jobs:

  • Obviously, not an ideal performance, but C.C. Sabathia gutted out 122 pitches over 5 2/3 innings to keep it 1-1.
  • Robinson Cano, with 3 hits, has finally started a season hot.
  • David Robertson, who was great for 2 innings CLEANING UP a 10-2 blow-out

Guys who didn’t do their jobs:

  • Jose Veras, 3 runs in 0 innings, to get the loss
  • Damaso Marte, 6 runs in 1 inning
  • Johnny Damon- he may now be the answer to the trivia question: “Who was the first player to get a hit at new Yankee Stadium”, but he went 1-5 and left 5 runners on base.
  • Jorge Posada- he may now be the answer to the trivia question: “Who was the first player to hit a HR at new Yankee Stadium”, but he went 1-4, and left 6 runners on base.
  • Cody Ransom, taking an 0-5, with 9 runners left on base.

How the Yankees lost: Bad bullpen and the hitters were unable to deliver with runners on base.
