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.
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.
