The Yankees began to wonder why they passed on Johan today when their young pitcher struggled on the mound. Joba gave up a long home run to the Twins #8 hitter. Kennedy was not much better today as the starter. Girardi had the following to say about his pitchers: “Neither one of them was extremely sharp today. It’s a learning experience. They’re not going to be perfect every time out. I’m sure they .understand that. This is a humbling game and I don’t care who you are, you’re going to struggle at times.” NY Newsday was already saying this about Yankee pitching: “the Yankees, their fans and even Hank Steinbrenner are going to have to be patient at times.”
