 what was the plan regarding litky and then maybe who follows after that. Bob, it's pretty crazy when you think about it, the Yankees are running out there, 14th different starter of the season. And as we already noted, things are going to be a little different for Lucas litky this afternoon in 152 career games so far. He has been a reliever in all of them. This will be his first start. And you look at the fact that he has really had a lot of success with his curveball this season. Take a look at opposing batters miniscule batting average against that pitch in particular. Now he did throw 52 pitches April 16th in an outing against the Rays. However, in July and August, he has not thrown more than 31 pitches pitches. So you are going to see a lot of different guys this afternoon. I asked Aaron Boone earlier why they opted to go with litky to start things off. Hopefully he can, you know, give us a little bit of length in there and, you know, like Lucas against both left and right handed hitters, you know, and hopefully he can kind of set a tone for us and line us up. You mentioned potentially giving some length. How far would you push him in the way of a pitch count? We'll see. We'll just see how efficient he is, you know, whether that's six, eight hitters, you know, whether he's really pitch efficient, depending on how hard he has to work in the first or second, and he will just kind of monitor it. And that's kind of how we'll play out the game with all our guys. It seems like when he gets ahead in the county, he really goes to that curveball a lot, which he's had a lot of success with. What makes that pitch so effective for him? Well, I think it's everything with him. It's it's fastball that plays up the cutters a real factor for him. And then he can really change, uh, change pace with you and and take up, you know, spins the ball really well, but but also, you know, changes speeds with it really well. And it becomes a very slow pitch. So, you know, he can get some chases with it, obviously in the dirt, but but at times can land it as a change of pace for a strike. And the Yankees will have some guys available in that bullpen that can kind of be both guys. Alberta Bray, who could certainly give them some pitches and all the high leverage guys like a Jonathan Loisica, Zach Britton, Chad Green should all be available this afternoon. Now when you look at the rotation for the next series, Andrew Heaney is going to get the ball in the field of dreams game in Iowa. He was asked earlier today if he watched the movie when he was younger and he said his family had a VHS tape, but he thought maybe he would brush up on it tonight, maybe watch the movie before he pitches there tomorrow. A lot of guys on that Yankees team very much looking forward to pitching at that field in Iowa for the first time. A Major League game is going to be played in that state. Then it'll be Jameson Tyone on Saturday against the White Sox and Nestor Cortez on Sunday. Jordan Montgomery and Garrett Cole could join the rotation as early as next week. As far as this afternoon's lineup is concerned, John Carlos Stanton has the afternoon off. Aaron Boone said nothing wrong with Stanton just a day off for him. And as expected, Aaron Judge will DH. Tyler Wade is in left, Brett Gardner is back in center field and Joey Gallo is in right field. He has not had the start since joining the Yankees. He would have liked offensively just a 156 batting average and he's striking out 41 and a half percent of the time. I asked Aaron Boone what he's been seeing from Gallo at the plate. I go back to if we just if you if you're watching the at bats, you know, it's not a guy that that's struggling. It's it's a guy that's having long tough at bats. You know, he's probably fouled off some pitches that he's been all over that, you know, those are the when you get those pitches that you can do something with, you got to put them in play with authority. So there's probably been a handful of pitches that, you know, he's fouled off that you're like, oh, he's right on that. And it's on the on the net. So which happens from time to time with everyone. But I think that's the biggest thing right now because if I think, you know, if you go at bat to at bat with him watching, you know, he's making good swing decisions. I feel like he's on time for the most part and getting off a lot of good swings. It's just when he does get that pitch to handle, we got to put it in play. Is that something that's reinforced, Aaron, that he is having what you consider positive at bats despite the lack of results? Yeah, absolutely. I mean, that's that's what I really like from from Jump Street with him. You know, in Miami, you know, he didn't have a lot of results, but it was, you know, what I was seeing was a lot of good at bats and, you know, hopefully he can continue to that and start to follow with some results because we know how impactful, obviously he can be with his ability to get on and his ability to drive the ball.
