Al C.risafulliA 4-pitch walk and two wild pitches from a guy who mowed the Indians down in the prior inning would tell me it's tougher to pitch when you're covered with bugs.
Yes, both teams had to deal with it. But the Yankees had a 1-0 lead that disintigrated, in my opinion, as a direct result of the bugs. If those bugs were rain, the umps would have delayed the game. That's what they should have done.
Cleveland is a better team, and I expect them to win. And they flirted with danger for the first 7 innings and lucked out every time. But that was the Yankees' game.
