Anthony Rizzo wouldn’t stay with the Chicago Cubs!

Because he would get traded to New York!
Anthony Rizzo had this to say about being traded to New York!
I think this is a great opportunity and i’m really fortunate to be going to the New York Yankees .
It’s the No.1 sports franchise in the world . It’s going to be a fun ride. I can’t wait to get there and just try to settle in as fast as I can.

Last night in the opening of game of the three game series between New York, Miami in Miami Florida Anthony Rizzo made his inaugural impression for the team that wears the pinstripes.
How?
Anthony Rizzo went 2-3 with a walk and two runs scored.
His first?
A home run over the right field wall.
The home traveled 449 feet and game New York a 1-0 lead!
Anthony Rizzo had this to say about his home run!
It was amazing,” Rizzo said. “Coming in, getting the first at-bat out of the way … and kind of getting those jitters out of the way.”
Jameson Taillon who was the starting pitcher for New York in the opening game of the three game series pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings and struck out five.
Jameson Taillon had this to say about his start verses Miami!
I felt I didn’t have my best stuff, but we made it work,” Taillon said. “I don’t know. Baseball is weird. I think there is something to it when you have a little more confidence and you throw your pitches with conviction. The reaction from the hitters are a little better. They don’t hit your mistakes as often.”

Tonight New York, Miami are supposed to play game two of their three game series in Miami Florida
Domingo German is supposed to start for New York while the starter for Miami has yet to have been announced but could mother nature be a problem?
I’d say that could be a possibility!
Why?
Because there is a 29% chance of rain at first pitch but that won’t be a problem because Marlines Park has a retractable roof.
Domingo German comes into the game with a record of 4-5 with an earn run average of 4.45.
Why?
On Sunday July 25,2021 Domingo German was amazing in his start verses Boston in Boston Massachusetts!
How amazing?
Domingo Germán struck out 10 against a walk over his sharp seven-plus inning performance.
In the seventh inning, Germán struck out Jarred Duran, then saw Bogaerts reach on a strikeout that tipped catcher Gary Sánchez's glove for a passed ball. Germán recovered, fanning Rafael Devers and J.D. Martinez to keep the bid alive.
Offensively Domingo German was supported by Rougned Odor who homered and drove in two runs as New York touched left-hander Martín Pérez for three runs over six innings. Gio Urshela went 1-for-3 with an RBI single in his return from the COVID-19 injured list, and Gleyber Torres drove in a run in the eighth that built a four-run Yankees lead at the time.
But Domingo German was denied the no-hitter and win.
Why?
Alex Verugo hit a lead off double!
Then Jonathan Loaisiga surrendered hits to all four men he faced, with Christian Vázquez and Kiké Hernández drilling run-scoring knocks before pinch-hitter Kevin Plawecki greeted Zack Britton with a game-tying groundout. Xander Bogaerts' sacrifice fly put Boston ahead.
Then Zack Britton who like Jonathan Loaisiga is a reliever gave up a game tying groundout and Xander Bogaerts' sacrifice fly put Boston ahead. Matt Barnes closed out the ninth around Giancarlo Stanton's two-out single, sealing the Yanks' third loss in four games this weekend and their 10th defeat in 13 tries vs. Boston overall.
And New York lost the finale by a score of 5-4!
Domingo German had this to say about his performance!
Unfortunately, I couldn't finish what I really wanted there, which was to go all the way," Germán said. "I was missing a start like this one, to get me back on track after a few outings where it's been tough just getting to the fifth inning. It's definitely satisfying; it gives you confidence."
Jonathan Loaisiga had this to say about his relief appearance!
I wasn't able to locate my slider for strikes and my sinker wasn't moving," Loaisiga said through an interpreter. "It's been a very important pitch for me the whole season, and unfortunately today it didn't have the action that it's had in the past. It's a bad day for me. It hurts."
