Schlietler! Rookie Righty rules the Red Sox as Yankees advance to Alds

NEW YORK – In a second-winning playoff showdown, two rookies are in one of the sport’s most legendary rivalries, no less than – 24-year-old Yankee Right Cam Schlittler completely dominated the Red Sox roster on Thursday, taking five walks in eight countless ruthless films alongside eight walks. His opposite number is Connelly, a left-hander at 23, who scored zero in the first three frames, making up for what he lacks in speed, at least relative to the New York starter. Alas, a mistake in the Red Sox defense opened the door to trouble in the fourth inning, as five of the first six Yankees reached the base on their way to a 4-0 lead. Boston manager Alex Cora pulled starter Brayan Bello after 28 goals in Game 2, leaving 33 goals in the fourth inning. The breakout was enough when the Yankees eliminated the playoffs from the first time since 2003, when the Yankees eliminated the playoffs from the playoffs.

This is the sixth time for two AL East rivals in the playoffs, with the Red Sox winning streak, including the 2004 American League Championship Series, the 2018 AL Division Series and the 2021 AL Wild Card Game. The only time in the full-out game, two rookie starters met in Game 7 of the 2020 NLC, when Dodgers’ Dustin May and Braves’ Ian Anderson stepped up, even though May only made one inning with Anderson, who Anderson didn’t expect.

The two starters started this season with Double-A and did not think of their contributions this season. Schlittler joined the fierce Yankees rotation on July 9 and pitched brilliantly in the second half, overwhelming the batsman with four-slit fastballs, averaging 98.0 mph and an effective cutter. He released 2.96 ERA and 3.74 FIP in 14 games with a strikeout rate of 27.6%, which is an easy choice for Boone to start Game 3 after Max Fried and Carlos Rodón. By comparison, it only debuted on September 9 and pitched brilliantly (ERA, 0.91 FIP), but if Lucas Giolito wasn’t offset by elbow trouble, it might not make the playoff roster (or at least not start). While Garrett Crochet asked Cora to use only the tighter Aroldis Chapman in the first game, the manager didn’t like what he saw from Bello in Game 2 and pulled him away in one game in Game 3, leaving him to visit six rescuers, one of whom (Garrett Whitlock) threw 47 courts for a season and gave up winning.

On Thursday, early looks really good…early. After he had a 114.5 mph lead double speed in the second inning, he only needed eight balls to work through a clean first inning, stranded Giancarlo Stanton and beat five of the 11 bats he faced in three innings, five of which had five of the tides and 37.8% CSW (called strike and strike rate). That said, despite his outstanding performance on six different courts – an average of 94.1 mph, plus a four-scroll ship with a sinker, swipe, swipe, curve and slider, the Yankees really made him work harder after the first time. He threw 23 balls in the second inning, and his third shot.

Early trouble began, when midfielder Ceddanne Rafaela and right fielder Wilyer Abreu were both in his respective positions in this year’s metrics, both of which were gathered with second baseman Romy Romy Gonzalez. The ball glanced over the webbing of Raphaela’s gloves and Bellinger was safe when Gonzalez recovered to throw to second place. Stanton then took a seven-foot walk, prompting a visit from coach Andrew Bailey. Early hit Ben Rice swings in a sweeping game outside the lower black, but Amed Rosario faced the left-handed for the second time in the series, hitting the 108.2 mph sizzler to the right of the dive trrevor story, Bellinger beat the bat and beat the throwing ball, giving the Yankees a 1-0 lead. Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Anthony Volpe then scored singles in 94 fastballs in the upper part of the strike zone, who brought back Stanton.

Righty Justin Slaten is warming up at this point, but Cora sticks to his starting lineup. He entered the bat of Austin Wells at eight strokes, and he waved, seemingly touching the gloves of catcher Carlos Narváez. Home plate referee Mark Ripperger ruled the receiver’s interference, apparently forcing on the run, but the call was overturned. With all, Wells won the race run Wednesday night, hitting a 100.3 mph free throw. The ball deflected Nathaniel Lowe’s glove and deviated from Gonzalez with Rosario and Chisholm. The show was ruled with a mistake, which gave the Yankees a 4-0 lead. Trent Grisham, who had stayed on the fly ball early, then Slaten replaced him and lured Aaron Judge to separate him.

Cora refused to blame his rookie starter. “We didn’t play the defense. The pop-up went down, there were twice as many, and they walked, they didn’t hit the ball hard, but they found the hole. It just happened very quickly,” the manager said. Regarding early days, he added: “This kid did a great job. He threw the ball well and lured them into contact with weak, but nothing happened tonight…just a few balls, right? Rosario and Volpe [balls]but he made the ball. And he didn’t rattle. ”

By the numbers, Kola exaggerated the case as the Yankees averaged 94.7 mph exit speeds on their 12 goals against him, five of which suffered a tough blow – four of the six hits he allowed, plus Wells’ ground. Still, this is what Schlittler portrays the Red Sox’s work. “We need to be perfect tonight because he is perfect,” Cora said. “These things are outstanding. He is under control. That’s electricity.”

indeed. Schlietler threw an absolute breath from the door. His first two shot put batsmen, Jarren Duran, made a swing strike in the inner third of the board on a 98.7-inch and 99.7-mph four-hole fastball. Duran beat his third, a 100.5 mph sinker and beat the ball with a fourth, 100.5 mph high four-speed shooter. He lined up on Schlittler’s sixth court, and the story came on Rice, who looked at the 100.1-mile-high fastball after Rice dropped the foul pop-up. Of Schlittler’s 14 first innings courts, six were 98.7 or higher at 100 mph or higher.

Schlietler obviously has some extra motivation. He is a native of Walpole, Massachusetts, pitched for Northeastern University in Boston and was drafted in the seventh round of the 2022 draft, holding a 5.78 ERA at Double-A Portland this year after the Red Sox selected Caleb Bolden.

“It’s personal to me,” Schlittler said during a celebration at the Yankee Club Club. “People from Boston have a lot to say before the game, I don’t like some of the things they’re saying today… There’s a line, I think they’re going a little bit. I’m a competitor. I’m a competitor. I’m going there and making sure I close them.

“Boston fans, that’s it,” he continued. “We’re very aggressively back home and we’re going to try to be under people’s skin. They just pick the wrong person to do it. It’s the wrong team, too.”

Though he struck out both Rafaela (foul tip on a 98.8-mph sinker) and Lowe (looking at a 100.7-mph sinker) following a leadoff single by Masataka Yoshida to start the second, Schlittler throw 23 pitches in the inning, but he grew more efficient, needing just 12 pitches to complete the third (which featured strikeouts of Gonzalez and Duran) and 10 to complete the fourth, working around a two-out. He took root in the lead, playing 20 goals in the fifth inning, and the Red Sox placed two men at the same time at the same time or runners. Lowe singles, Gonzalez also played after strikeouts from Narváez and Abreu, but Duran fell on just three courts, last checked in the 99.9 mph four holes, which fell on the inside.

After that, the real question is how long Boone will last. Fernando Cruz, who pitched in Games 1 and 2, warmed up in both sixth and seventh, while Devin Williams was eighth, but Schlittler just went on to hit the strike zone, with the story’s single ahead of sixth, the only baseman he allowed in the final three innings.

“I don’t even want to talk to him,” Boone said. “I just want to say, you’re fine? Usually, if I’m going to have a conversation or take him out, I’ll make a decision. I kind of stood in my footsteps and just gave him mine, ‘How are you? [look]. ‘He is. ”

Schlittler ended up throwing 107 pitches (career highest) with a strike of 75, with 21 being called strikes and 18 WHIFFs (36.4% CSW). 11 of the famous ones are with four-sellers (average 98.9 mph, 0.9 above his season average), 5 on the sinker sheet (average 99 mph, 1.5 mph, 1.5 mph) than his season average), and two pass cutters. The Red Sox averaged just 84.3 mph exit speeds on their 17 balls against him, with only five of them being 95 mph hard balls.

Schlittler never scored 8 innings in a professional game. “Among minors, they’re really good at managing the workload and you’re going to linger on a 95 pole,” he said. His seven-innings against the Orioles last Saturday was his longest major league outing, while his top court count against the White Sox on August 30 was 100 innings (in six innings).

“I thought I did it after the seventh time,” he said. “So [Boone] It was a great feeling to give me the confidence to get back there and step out of the eighth time. ”

Schlietler actually made some history. According to Sarah Langs of MLB.com, he was the first pitcher to throw eight or more points-free innings and did not take a walk in the playoffs. According to our own Matt Martell, he is the seventh-place rookie in the playoffs at least 10:

“When you throw 100 and command baseball and you can lower the secondary court, you can become an issue for the opposition,” Boone said.

For the series, the Yankees’ starting combination allowed only three runs in 20 1/3 innings, and since August 1, the suspect’s bullpen has traded in many night games after General Manager Brian Cashman switched to a closer David Bednar (Bregman’s third appearance around Bregman, his third appearance around Bregman and his third appearance again in Bregman), and in many night games. The Yankees became the first of 16 teams to win three games after becoming the first game since the 12 team format in 2022.
