As you’ve probably already heard, the Yankees took on the Braves earlier this afternoon (box score), giving some of the big leaguers a glimpse at the phenomenon that is Pat Venditte. His line was nothing special – two hits, a walk and a run while recording four outs – but apparently his switch pitching routine had everyone’s attention. Well, everyone except for the Braves’ television broadcasting crew, who according to an emailer didn’t even realize the guy on the mound was throwing with both arms. I mean, we see all those guys all the time, right? Who would possibly be paying attention to an exhibition game like it was their job or something?
Anyway, the Yanks finish up their final set of 2010 split squad games tonight against the Blue Jays in Tampa tonight. Here’s the lineup…
Jeter, SS
Johnson, 1B
Thames, LF
A-Rod, 3B
Winn, RF
Pena, 2B
Weber, DH
Cervelli, C
Golson, CF
Mitre, SP
Sorry, I’m not sure who’s coming off the bench or out of the bullpen, but who doesn’t like surprises? First pitch is scheduled for 7:05pm ET, and can be seen on YES. Enjoy the game.
