Dellin Betances Struggles Continue In Miami At The All-Star Game
New York's right -handed hurler who is 6"8 and wears number sixty-eight Dellin Betances struggles continued at Marlins Park during the 2017 all-star game.
Dellin Betances looked a lot like his regular-season self in Tuesday night’s All-Star Game at Marlins Park. The regular-season self, that is, who has recently scared the daylights out of the Yankees. "according to http://nypost.com/2017/07/12/dellin-betances-mechanical-flaws-surface-again/
only this time, the big setup man found an escape hatch. "according to http://nypost.com/2017/07/12/dellin-betances-mechanical-flaws-surface-again/
The right-hander pitched a roller-coaster third inning for the American League, loading the bases on a single, two walks and two wild pitches before escaping when he retired former Met Daniel Murphy on a groundout to third. Betances did strike out the Rockies’ Charlie Blackmon and Marlins star Giancarlo Stanton. "according to http://nypost.com/2017/07/12/dellin-betances-mechanical-flaws-surface-again/
“Harper put up a good at-bat,” Betances said of Bryce Harper, on whom he got ahead, 0-2, before issuing the free pass. “Then I got a little out of whack with [Buster] Posey.” "according to http://nypost.com/2017/07/12/dellin-betances-mechanical-flaws-surface-again/
During the Posey at-bat, Betances indicated, he experienced some of the mechanical woes that plagued him with the Yankees, causing him to walk 11 opponents over five appearances from June 26-July 5. That he wound up putting up a zero allowed him to smile afterward. "according to http://nypost.com/2017/07/12/dellin-betances-mechanical-flaws-surface-again/
“I’ll rest the next two days and get ready for Boston,” Betances said, as the Yankees kick off their second half this weekend with a critical series against the Red Sox at Fenway Park. "according to http://nypost.com/2017/07/12/dellin-betances-mechanical-flaws-surface-again/
The Mets’ Michael Conforto and the Yankees’ Gary Sanchez both made their All-Star Game debuts during the AL’s 2-1 victory in 10 innings. "according to http://nypost.com/2017/07/12/dellin-betances-mechanical-flaws-surface-again/
Conforto entered in left field in the sixth inning and lined a seventh-inning single to left field, then struck out against the Red Sox’s Craig Kimbrel in the ninth to send the contest to extra innings. "according to http://nypost.com/2017/07/12/dellin-betances-mechanical-flaws-surface-again/
Sanchez took over catching duties for the AL in the sixth, grounded out to second base in the seventh and struck out in the ninth. He committed a passed ball in the ninth, too, though American League manager Brad Mills praised him for blocking some Kimbrel bouncers to keep the contest going.

Can New York pitching coach Larry Rothschild help get Dellin Betances mechanics right and get him back to where he needs to be to help New York win games in the second half of the season?
