Strange.
The Yanks got pounded last night, which happens. However, the fact that they let new first basmen Nick Swisher pitch the end of the game (just for shits and giggles?!?) is quite rare.
Updates from Yankees.com:
Catcher Jose Molina expected nothing but four-seam fastballs, so he never bothered to put down a sign.
Nick Swisher went into the stretch, leaning in and looking for the sign. There wasn’t one, but he shook it off anyway.
In all, Swisher threw 22 pitches [12 for strikes], maxing out at 80 mph on the last pitch he threw.
“I’m walking out of my professional career with a 0.00 ERA,” Swisher said.
While many of the Yankees found amusement in Swisher’s outing, not everyone was pleased.
