That was his first start against them. His last was 6 IP, 2 ER. His track record, 50/50, against them last year is moot. He's slowed his delivery down, has much better command of the FB, is throwing the curve more effectively and more often, and mixing in the 2-seam and change more. He's just a different pitcher.
We'll see how he fares. Personally, I love how the Yankee fans are counting on lots of runs today, after last nights let down, Beckett coming out and showing the differences I mentioned while shutting them down would be, what was it Jacko said, gravy. Yeah, it would be gravy. Nothing like watching the entitled not get they feel is their birthright.
