Manager Joe Girardi rightfully admitted it was his fault the Yankees lost game 2 when we didn't challenge the hit by pitch call which in replays was clearly a foul tip and strikeout. I don't know why he didn't challenge the play. The Yankees' video guy has been the best in baseball this year at predicting which calls will get overturned in favor of the Yankees.
Playing Cleveland seems to give Yankees managers brain cramps reminding me of when Joe Torre said he regretted not pulling his team off the field in the 2007 playoffs when an attack of midges was annoying pitcher Joba Chamberlain to such a degree that he couldn't get anyone out. Coincidentally, the Yankees also lost that ALDS game 2 in extra innings.
