1.   I got excited pitching against him.

2.   If the Yankees get solid pitching from those three, they could be better than Baltimore.

4.   They got lethargic pitching from Kenny Rogers, almost no hitting, and a few bad breaks Saturday, to squander all of their lead over the Reds.

5.   When they get decent pitching, the offense struggles.
