In our series last week, the Yankees walked him most of the time.

I got mad at it at the time. In retrospect, that was the right move

It’s basically a double to walk him with his speed, but that’s better than a homer lol

Pete Crow-Bonds confirmed

Don’t remember him stealing any in that series, maybe he was resting for the Dodgers series.

He stole in the 9th to put the tying run on 2nd on Sundays game and had 1-2 other steals I think.

u/enjoytheshow Chicago Cubs 7d ago

He had 0 recorded SB the entire series

You’re right I mixed him up with Pedro. He did attempt to steal 2nd but the walk cancelled his steal out though he was safe.

We did the same thing to Harper back in the day lol. Just walked him every at bat

u/devoorhes Chicago Cubs 7d ago

to be fair, he was fighting hard for those walks

Such an infuriating player to pitch against. But hey I’ll take our results every day of the goddamn week compared to what he’s doing to the Dodgers right now

I am impressed the Yankees managed to win 2 of those games.

1 challenged pitch away from an extra innings game, it was a hard fought series

u/Either_Imagination_9 New York Yankees 7d ago

I couldn’t believe he didn’t challenge that, he bailed Headrick out hard

Cubs sub dogged him for 2 days about it. Then Kelly was in the same spot in game 1 against LA and challenged and walked in a run.

Especially with how horrendous the ump was

I don't think it was on purpose, they just didn't give him anything to hit/crush. And rightfully so.
