 and not the Yankee Stadium debut. Montes would have wanted, I'm sure. What were you seeing from him tonight? I think he just missed in the center of the plate with some heaters that got him in trouble. Obviously, Springer hurt him, missed with the pitch to Chapman, and then the inning where they hung the five spot out there, walks Merrifield. Springer, I thought he made a good pitch on him, but Springer did a pretty good job with two strikes there, just getting enough of it to dump it in there. And then it looked like a center cut fastball that he missed with Vladdy, and that's kind of wrecked the outing there with the three run homer. But just some fastballs in the center of the plate look like he hung a split to Taosker. So maybe just not quite the put away with the split fastball combo that he's had. Do you think that's because he's still in the process of getting fully back and getting completely scattered? No, I think physically, I think he's in a good spot. I mean, yeah, we're building them to a certain point, obviously, which now he should be full starter workload. But no, I think it was just a matter of just not quite having some finish. And that really good command that you need against a lineup like that. They made him pay in the center of the plate a few times. Chris. Through his first three starts, are you at all concerned with Frankie's command? No, I think physically he's in a good spot. I think going back to last start, I thought he threw the ball well. Actually, in parts of today, I thought he threw the ball really well. He just got hurt in the center of the plate a little bit, and maybe not quite the real good split that we saw in Boston, where he really had that dive in, down, and out of the zone, how he wanted to. Left a couple of those up. So no, I think it's just a matter of some mistakes against a good hitting team that made him pay. Bob. Aaron, do you think it's possible just pitching for the first time in front of a stadium crowd may have affected him? I mean, he hasn't struck me that way at all since he's gotten here. Even going into St. Louis, he didn't seem as tough and weird a situation that was coming in the night before and pitching the day game. To me, I haven't seen any of those jitters or wanting to. It doesn't seem that way to me. But we've got to go. We start getting results, obviously. Brenda, Marley. Why abray you in the seventh, and what did you see from him tonight? I don't know why you abray you. What does that mean? I was just wondering the reasoning to use him. What are we down for there? We're trying to use our righties to stay in the game against that lineup. With double play ball, I think it was the first guy, a springer smoked the ball to the center for the base hit. And double play ball, we don't turn. Then a 3-2 pitch, he loses guerrilla. So just not as sharp. They hit some balls hard off him, but was at least able to work through the inning. But not making a play behind him kind of obviously cost a couple of runs. Marley. Erin, you have played incredibly well against the A at least this season. Your record was spectacular. And now it's the loss to the Red Sox, then the loss to the Rays. And now this first loss. Is there a point with a single-digit lead that you start worrying about the division because of this tough skid you're in right now? I don't know about worry. I worry about everything. I apologize for being so specific. Worried about the lead in the division, because you had such a big lead. No, it's this about us playing well. If we play well, that takes care of itself. Obviously, we haven't played well enough in the last 10 days. So I think it's more just a rough patch of us not playing well. We have to play better. But I'll sit there and think about this lead. It's about us handling our business. If we do that and play the game we're capable of playing the rest of the way, we'll be in good shape. But we got to do that.
