Gonzalez obviously has a tough chore, pitching against all those switch- and left-handed hitters in Yankee Stadium, with that famously short porch beyond right field.
This is obviously the biggest game of Gonzalez’s young career, and you can’t help feeling sorry for him, just a little. Unless he pitches brilliantly!
