Gee, it was Chad Green, tagged for four earned runs in one-third of an inning. His ERA is now up to 16.43.
Then I remembered, wasn't Capo talking about a relief pitcher that has come under his critical eye recently? I checked here and, sure enough, Chad Green. Pegged.

LOL...yeah, me and my critical eye.
Truth be told, a 16.43 ERA would be impossible to slip passed a blind man.
In all seriousness, it's an absolute shame about Green. He's one of those guys in the Yankee organization that kind of came out of nowhere. He always had good stuff, but was never really regarded as a top flight pitching prospect. When they finally moved him to the bullpen in 2017 he suddenly became one of the more dominant relievers in MLB, with K/9 ratio among the best in the league. I sincerely hope he's able to bounce back somehow.
