Nice little piece, although honestly I don't think there's much separation between Severino and Sale at this point. Kluber is the clear choice for the Cy in my eyes.
was a little tweak so that if need be he'd be on schedule to pitch the last game of the regular season, in case anyone was wondering. Don't think it will come anywhere near down to that. I like pitching him today and playing an A lineup. Lets put our foot down on their throats and basically clinch home field for the WC.
Big Sexy is still pitching. He has had a good career and made some nice money.
It's always impressive when a power pitcher manages to adapt to a diminished fastball and succeed. It took him a few years to figure it out (and to stay healthy enough to be productive), but CC did it.
Got some fortune with a throw out going unchallenged
and a coincidence, but this is the 2nd time in 4 days Joe flipped around one of his top guys a day before (Gray on Sunday) and they had their worst start in awhile.
Sect seems to be pitching differently today and I don't know if it's by design. He's less aggressive with his fast ball and seems to throwing more breaking balls. It's like she's pitching reverse of how he normally pitches. If they do play the Twins in the wild card Sevy may be setting them up.

I don't think today's performance is a coincidence (I sort of expected it based on what you said), but Sevy has battled through starts like this before several times this year and given the team a chance to win. Those games were almost as impressive as the flat out dominant starts.
45 pitch third. Just didn't have it today. He's alright tho
Whew, glad he's not hurt. Thought that's what it was. 45 pitch 3rd? Wow. Wonder if has to do with Joe moving him since Tanaka was supposed to pitch today.
"normal," and he said in the Post that he prefers that. But it's true we've been on a 6-man rotation for the last - what? Six weeks or so? Since we got Garcia? So it may have thrown him off a bit.
they are all over the Yanks gun. They say its full of crap. They said it had Berrios at 97 last night, he hasn't been above 93-94 all year.
WGAF about that? If these out of town announcers aren't complaining about something when it comes to the Yankees/NY, then they probably aren't talking. Let's see the list of regular complaints...
- payroll
- band box
- steroids (that was an old one)
- someone being overrated because he's in NY
RE: please please PLEASE let Bird be getting into a groove
He had been in a bit of a rut in August through the beginning of September - not really struggling, but kind of drifting along hitting around .250-260 with little power, but went .358/.404/.453 over the past two weeks and now 2-3 today.
Beats the hell out of somehow scraping out wins through swinging bunts, errors, and passed balls. I want to play the Sawx in the playoffs so very badly.
days ago by Kevin Kernan (Post) quoted Judge as saying that Birdie is the best hitter on the team. Too lazy to find and link because I may miss another homerun.
Bird will find his rhythm and be a big part of this team. Hope it's by playoff time.
Severino: 184.1 IP, 141 H, 218K/49BB, 2.93 ERA, 1.031 WHIP, 156 ERA+
Sale: 201.1 IP, 153 H, 287K/41BB, 2.86 ERA, .964 WHIP, 158 ERA+

why is Sevy done for the day? Is he okay?

4-3 Yanks.

Yep, right after we were questioning if he'd ever fulfill the promise he's shown. Maybe he's breaking out? Let's hope
Bird hasn't homered. Two doubles though.
9-3 Yanks!
Didi has now hit more HRs at SS for the Yanks than any SS in history.
I'm 68, and if I'm lucky, I'll be able to see the new corps of Yankees take me into my golden years.

His contract is up -- maybe the NY Giants could hire him :)
