Streak comes to an end at 8 yesterday. However, Severino put up a sensational start - recording 10 SO over 8 innings while allowing only 3 hits and 3 ER. So far, so good with the decision to keep him in the rotation.
Few other notes:
1- Severino became the youngest Yankee pitcher ever to record 10+ SO and 0 BB in a start. He also became the youngest Yankee to record 9+ SO in back-to-back starts since Al Leiter in 1989.
2- Didi starting rehab games on Friday.
3- Gleyber Torres has bicep tendinitis. He'll have an MRI soon.
4- Clint Frazier had a homerun yesterday. Starting to get hot
5- Despite the loss yesterday and the early season struggles, the Yankees have the best run differential in the AL by 6 runs. They are tied with the Dodgers for the second best run differential in the MLB.
2 swept series TB and Cards.

Very intrigued by Severino who I had given up on in my head. He's always had the stuff to be a champion, but I had questions about his mental makeup which is just as important as having a great arm. Baseball history is littered with pitchers who flamed out even though they had a cannon for an arm or could throw a ten foot hook, but never learned the mental aspect of the game. Seems to me Severino is now getting the pitchers' brain that is needed to be a star. And he's so young that he's just starting on his long term run as a Yankee great (knock on wood)
I have not heard anything about Chance Adams. Is there any word on how well his season has started?
Adams: 2 GS 11.1 IP 4 H 6 BB 13 SO 0.79 ERA 0.88 WHIP
Sheffield: 2 GS 11.2 IP 5 H 7 BB 11 SO 0.77 ERA 1.03 WHIP
Only thing not to like so far (for both of them) is the BBs.
At some point people are going to have to acknowledge this kids as a front of the line pitching prospect. I think analysts unfairly ding him because he used to be a reliever. But his results as a starter are consistently outstanding.
Thats the best news of all. Man at first that injury looked like a 4 monther or worse.

With Tanaka, of course, on the mound.
On top of it the guy he puts in (Pete Kozma) boots an easy double play ball(which would have got Severino out of the inning) before Garcia's 3 run bomb. Why?? Are they trying to showcase the guy for something in a trade? Didi can not get back fast enough.

taking Headley out of yesterdays line up, the guy is on fire.

Two things:
#1) it would not have gotten Severino out of the inning. It would have been two outs with Abreu coming up. I doubt Abreu bunts and pops up with two out and nobody on base.
#2) Kozma makes that play 99 times out of 100. Errors happen and they happen at bad times - just like hanging a breaking ball to a guy hitting .450 is bad. While I agree that it was "dumb" to give Headley the night off when he is hot, it is necessary in the long run that the older guys, especially, get days off.
Unfortunate, but if they win 8 and lose one, we'll all take that! Hell win 3 lose 2 gets you 96 wins.
Adams: 2 GS 11.1 IP 4 H 6 BB 13 SO 0.79 ERA 0.88 WHIP

Thank you for the details about Adams and Sheffield. Nice to see they are doing really well. Wish the walks were down, but I will take what I can take.
This is a touchback.
Watching the Rangers...oh, umm...IDK
Tanaka is not sharp at all.
Now romine Knocks in Judge 3-0 yanks. 1st and 3rd, bird on 3rd no outs

Why would people be watching the Texas Rangers?
Considering you can't run the catcher anymore...No is the answer?

Good news is Chance Adams pitching yet another gem.
Stat of the day - Hoy Jun Park has 8 errors in 11 games. Hitting .390 with 2 HRs won't matter with that fielding.
I love the new "All Rise!" after a big Judge hit or HR, whoever came up with that deserves some credit
That Judge bomb. Holy cow. Yanks having a lot of fun playing baseball right now
Since he hit it to the northeast and Jersey is to the southwest, that's even a more incredible feat than it might seem! :-)

I'm convinced, Frazier stole your wife, right? It's the only explanation for your constant hatred of him. I'm sorry bro, it'll get better. Look at the bright side, she's his problem now.

0-4 with 3 strikeouts. Now at .211. 10Ks and 8 hits. Good news is his bat speed when he misses continues to be incredible.

Ignore him, to much good juju to talk about with the Yanks to quibble about one prospect off to a slow start
1 (718) 293-4300 - ask for Joe...
I love what he is doing and totally am rooting for him, I mean who can't be turned on by the type of moon shots he's capable of. However I have to see him swing like this for more than 2 and a half weeks before we say he's going to be much more than a mid .200's type guy. I can see his swing getting messed up for peiods of time and the K's piling up. Hey I'm no scout, maybe I'm wrong and he can be a .270 type guy. Definitely hope so.

Judge would be in the running for MVPs if he hit .270 considering how many of those hits comprising the .270 would go for extra bases/HRs
It's a good problem to have. Relax and enjoy it. Every thread someone bitches about a guy sitting or playing. It's a long season. Guys get hot and cool off you can't react every day like this lol wait sure you can.

lol - I was fine with your original concept - everyone's calling it a "moonshot" - no reason it couldn't land in Jersey after one Earth orbit ...
If you ever get a chance, the food is incredible. They have everything you can think of.
lol Stanton does the same exact thing but I get your point

Stanton is the best ceiling comp for Judge, I think.
The Yankees are on fire right now.
Remember this feeling for the eventual skid and slumps that are bound to come with any team, especially one with a lot of young players.
it's awesome to watch, but unsustainable for the guys who are putting up some monster numbers right now.

true Paul, but they get Didi and Sanchez back in 2-3 weeks. Main thing I need to see is if the starting pitching is for real. If it is, they can have a surprisingly good season.
The most promising thing is how Severino and Montgomery are pitching. That seems more sustainable.
Just about to a man, the approach at the plate has been outstanding.
Yanks' bullpen has a 1.41 ERA over 38.2 IP. That's pretty good, no? :)

While he (surprisingly) never led the league, Jeter did finish top 10 in BA 10 times, including two 2nd place finishes and two 3rd place finishes.
It's good though because there is no pressure on Sanchez to "save" the offense when he gets back.
I was thinking the same think. Also Torreyes leads the team in RBI's( or he did up to a couple of days ago)
Still want Didi and Gary back.
