Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Schlittler’s got his priorities straight, and so do we: spiders out, wins in.
Spring training’s all about getting comfortable, and Cam’s already got his locker game face on.
You can’t script this stuff, but you can expect the Yankees to make a big deal about it.
This one felt recognizable early: Cam’s got his 2.96 ERA, but spiders are still his biggest foe.
When you’re this good, you can afford to sweat the small stuff – like eight-legged intruders.
Original Observation: The team’s focus on spider removal says more about their priorities than their pitching.
