April 27 at Yankee Stadium in Bronx, NY
YES Network
It was a surprisingly light night for Michael Kay Nonsense (MKN), though obviously as Andrew Miller was about to come into the game in the ninth Kay said "it's Miller Time". But I did want to point out one item from the broadcast.
YES has its SCOUTING REPORTS of each starting pitcher, and here was Adam Warren's:
1. "Run Support". Then Ken Singleton mentioned how Warren received a ton of run support the last time he pitched, which was last Wednesday against the Tigers.
2. "Taking care of business". Singleton then talked about how Warren has a degree in business from the University of North Carolina and the Yankees would like Warren to take care of business.
3. "'Heeling' power". This was simply about Warren winning his first 19 decisions at UNC.
This isn't a SCOUTING REPORT. This is Facts About Adam Warren.
I put together a new scouting report of Warren:
1. "Walk this way". Warren walked four batters in his last start.
2. "Garbage disposal". One of Warren's chores as a child was to do the dishes and put the uneaten food into the garbage disposal and the Yankees are hoping he disposes of tonight's opponent.
3. "Montana man". Warren once visited the state of Montana.
* The New York bullpen has been fantastic so far in 2015 and that continued Monday. It was the best of Warren's seven career starts (5 2/3 IP, 5 H, career-high 6 K), but the right-hander left with the game tied 1-1. Justin Wilson (one perfect inning to pick up the win), David Carpenter (1/3 IP, 1 BB), Dellin Betances (1 IP, 2 K) and Miller (1 IP, 1 H, 1 K) combined for 3 1/3 scoreless in a 4-1 victory.
* Brian McCann ripped a go-ahead, solo home run to right that put New York ahead 2-1 in the sixth. It was McCann's second home run and first since April 12 against Boston.
