George is not the good version of himself--when he's very patient. I wonder if it's opening day jitters?
Its clear the Yankees gameplan was to lay off anything close... so Dallas started throwing it more in the zone getting them to swing and get some easy outs. His ability to constantly adjust his gameplan to the game he's pitching... rather than just go out there and do the same thing no matter what... is part of what makes him so great.
