I’d prefer he stand in the back corner of the box like Henry Rowengartner and not dare risk an injury. Take however many pitches it takes to K or BB and get it over with.

You just hope someone is on when he is up with less than 2 outs. Then you try to bunt and call it a day
Yeah we could use an A game from Sevy tonight and with the lineup he's facing I think we'll get it. As long as he doesn't walk many I think he'll be able to take care of the Phils and their strikeout prone lineup.
I'm in a sweet spot in Jersey where I get both the NY and Philly channels. Great for football season and figured I'd tune in to listen to Kruk and what their announcers say about the Yanks.
They don't have that distracting strike zone like YES does and it's refreshing to watch a game without it. You're right the pitch was close but on this broadcast I thought it was a little wide.
Btw, Kruk and the play by play guy are definitely impressed with Sevy and the Yanks. Kruk is saying how you gotta tip your cap to the Yanks, they're not missing pitches. Any mistake Arietta makes they're crushing it.
I'm too young to have seen 1978 Guidry, so this has been the most overpowering starting pitching by a Yankee in my memory.
I think you might be right about that.
I was dialed into the Yanks during Guidry's year and it was an incredible dominating year by him. Best I've ever seen by a Yankee pitcher in my lifetime.
If Sevy keeps this up all year it'll be right up there though.
You can see his confidence and how he just expects to sit guys down now. Between him, Verlander and Kluber the AL has seen some elite pitching so far. Plus deGrom has the NL on lock for sure.
And I get that. But there’s no alternative and if he’s coming into games with a big lead to work on his game, so be it. I’m guessing everyone is glad we stuck with Betances...
And I'd much rather see Carroll or Feyereisen get his roster spot. It's not as if they could do worse.
I don't have much faith in Shreve right now either but his ceiling is higher than the guys you mentioned. Maybe they will make a move towards one of them but for tonight, it was the perfect spot to bring him in.
Up 6-0 and needing to save the rest of the pen, it was a good move by Boone IMO. Shreve wasn't perfect but at least he got the taste of that one pitch walk off in Tampa out of his mouth and maybe build on this.
Seemed about 50% Yankee fans. Wasn’t too rowdy, in part bc the Yanks got up early and Sevy didn’t let them breathe
Phillies fans seemed pretty decent, mostly subdued. Talked a little baseball with some folks in our section, they mostly accept their team still ain’t very good. Aside from mustering up one half hearted Eagles chant, they didn’t have much energy.
One guy was walking around in a Saquon Giants Jersey, hats off to that guy!
That aside, Citizens Bank Park is a really nice ballpark...me and some buddies picked up some upper deck cheapies, still a good view, then spent the last few innings walking around watching from different points of view.

Sweep them away tomorrow!
I went as well, just got home. Great ballpark indeed. I have a very unhealthy hatred of the Eagles and Flyers but the Phillies and Sixers don't bother me. Perfect night at the ballpark, couldn't have asked for a better game result wise or weather wise.

I'm watching it on the Phillies channel and they don't have that box and possibly a different angle but it sure looked away on this broadcast.
Ahh ok.

Kruk says besides a couple of swings it's like man vs boys out there tonight.
I think you might be right about that.

If Sevy keeps this up all year it'll be right up there though.
If he rights the ship he’s a huge asset. Bringing him in a 6-0 games is perfectly fine.

Ehhhh. He came in to a 4-0 game a week or two ago, and we had to bring in Chapman. No lead is safe with this guy.
Sevy being Sevy. Yanks 15-2 in his starts.
Good solid win.
I agree with you. As long as he's still on the team, tonight was the perfect opportunity to throw him back out there and try to get straightened out.
With Cessa going tomorrow followed by CC and then Gray, getting the rest of the pen a night off was huge.
Chasen Shreve: 6.1 IP, 5 R, 3 HR
Rest of team: 54 IP, 0 R, 0 HR

We all know that but he's still on the team. Who would you have rathered they went to for the 9th tonight?
Huh? He's literally never seeing the inside of a close game during the postseason. (And by close, I mean anything within 8 runs either way.)

Guidry, right? His 25-3 year. I don't think anyone's come close since.
Anyone know?

Don't want to jinx him but 25+ wins seems attainable. Who was the last Yankee pitcher to win 25+. (Not a trivia question - I have no idea.)

Gotta be Gator. Plus he went 2-0 in the postseason that year as well. 1 win in the ALCS and 1 in the WS.
