Detroit Tigers face Yankees in Tampa: Starting lineup, pitching plans
Right-hander Casey Mize will start for the Tigers. He’s scheduled to be followed by lefty Dietrich Enns and right-handers Jordan Balazovic and Tyler Owens. Minor leaguers Tanner Kohlhepp, Austin Bergner, Garrett Burhenn, Garrett Apker and Carlos Pena will also be on hand to pitch if needed.
Now, a series of other tunes – beginning with ‘That’s Life’ – will follow Yankees home losses according to a club spokesman. There was a time when Liza Minnelli’s version of ‘Theme from New York, New York,’ written by John Kander and Fred Ebb, was occasionally played after Yankees home losses.
But while you may associate those iconic horns with New York wins, the team also played it after losses. Until now, that is: After the final out of the Yankees' 4-0 defeat to the Detroit Tigers at George M. Steinbrenner Field in Tampa, it was a different Sinatra song — “That’s Life” — that began to play over the loudspeakers
New York will compete in Spring Training games until March 25. Facing Boston would have given New York a chance to feel out the new-look Red Sox and the threat they pose in the American League East with superstar second baseman Alex Bregman and All-Star Tanner Houck on the mound. They’ll get their next crack at the Red Sox on March 18.
