NFT: Indians at Yankees GDT 8/15

Jints in Carolina : 8/15/2019 3:23 pm

@JackCurryYES
Luis Severino just finished a bullpen session. From my press box perch 400 feet away, it looked as if Severino threw with a lot of intensity. This wasn't some between starts tossing session. He was letting it go. We will see what Severino and Boone say about it in a bit.

Indians lineup not out yet.
Good news.

Hopefully he keeps building and can contribute when ready. Getting a healthy, effective Sevy back would be excellent.
Interesting note from Lindsey Adler  
Greg from LI : 8/15/2019 3:45 pm : link
We've been rightly triumphant about how well Luke Voit has played for the Yankees, but Gio Gallegos has quietly been dominant for the Cardinals this year. 55 IP, .727 WHIP, 76 Ks, 1.96 ERA, 2.40 FIP. The rare deal that works out for both teams.

Luis Severino says he expect to face three hitters on Sunday like a sim inning. Then he expects to head to Tampa to throw a sim game and then start rehab games.

Says he thinks he can make first MLB start at as little as 60 pitches and build from there. #Yankees
also of interest

With Domingo Germn now at 116 IP this year, the #Yankees dont anticipate needing to place a hard innings cap on him. He wont have restrictions in October. He spent more than 3 weeks on the injured list, which already slowed the odometer. @MLB @MLBNetwork

Cleveland just lost 2 out of 3 to a Boston team that was dead as a door nail going into that series. This series isn't going to show or prove anything.

They didn't sweep the Yankees. They won 3 of 4. They also followed that series by losing 7 straight games. The Sox also split 6 games in Fenway against 2 teams with 0.0% chance of making the postseason.

IDK.....beating good teams is always a plus, if for no other reason than you dont want to give the other guys a feeling that they can come into your home and kick sand on you.

Cleveland did lose 2/3 from Boston by Boston is still a good team. cleveland is 6-4 in last 10.

Would you agree there are 4 teams in tier one in the AL....Yanks, Astros, Twinkies, and Indians? I know you can argue, actually only two teams in tier one and two in tier two...either way, when one of those other 3 teams come knocking on your door, I think it is very important you punch them in the mouth and send them off thinking....I hope we dont play these guys in the playoffs, Id rather face the Astros.

Like I previously said, you dont want to give them any feeling of confidence that they can beat NY so Id rather play them instead of the Astros.
I agree with the sentiment

them. Carlos freakin' Correa is batting 7th in their order now and Gurriel, one of the hottest AL hitters in the 2nd half, is batting 8th. They have 2 ace pitchers.

I agree, but I didnt expect a Yankees fan to agree. After all, you have a better record with all your injuries. I was just trying to be nice and not antagonistic toward Yankee fans here.

PS. Dont they have 3 ace pitchers now?

They have 3 ace pitchers and what cannot be argued is the best top to bottom 25 in baseball right now.

That said, F them. I want them in the playoffs because this team is beating everyone this year. Tauchman and Urshela are going to hoist this team up baby!

No surprise here. This team was going to come out this way especially since they lost 2 games straight to that shady ass Boston team. Also you can see that Boone knew it and put all they shitty pitchers this team had lol. Nevertheless I wasnt expecting it to be this bad, so its a very concerning how bad some of this pitching staff is. Anyways hopefully the Yanks can take at least 2 games from this series, Ill be fine with that.
missed this one, thankfully I guess.

It doesn't matter if you lose a baseball game by 1 run or 20 runs. It counts exactly the goddamn same. We let Mike Ford pitch last night after letting Adams serve up a bunch of meatballs... it was a game we just needed to get through and forget about.

We were like 12-1 in opener games going into last night. Green didn't have it. He's not perfect.

Some of the expectations here are just lunacy. God forbid the Yankees don't win every single night....

Exactly. Not a hard strategy to grasp. Game out of hand early, send out a couple sacrificial lambs, save big bullpen arms for the rest of the series.

Last nights game represents smart managing by Boone.
especially with an opener, what else can you do?  
Greg from LI : 8/16/2019 11:13 am : link
You're already into the pen in the first inning. Do you blow through your better relievers to try to stay in a game in which you're already in a deep hole, or do you just call it a night and move on to win game 2?

The 1927 Yankees ( 110 and 44) lost 14 to 4 to Detroit and then lost 6 to 3 the next day. The next day they won 19 to 5.

They also lost 4 in a row this time in August of that year

Was 1927 a good year for the Yankees? I forget.


The 1998 Yankees once lost 3 of their first 4. Lost 5-16 one time and went 5 loses to 4 wins mid way through the season.

Was 1998 a good Yankee team? I forget.

Greg from LI : 8/16/2019 1:57 pm : link
It was 22-4. They actually had a 2-0 lead after the first....and then Cleveland scored [b]14[/] runs in the second inning. Similar scenario as yesterday: Wang got shelled and had allowed 8 runs in the inning while recording just one out, so to save the pen Girardi put someone named Anthony Claggett in the game, who allowed 8 runs himself in 1.2 innings.

Claggett made only three MLB appearances, ending his major league career with 11 runs allowed in 3.2 IP for a 27.00 career ERA.

Better to lose big than lose a gut wrenching game that should have been won. Move on....its just one loss. Im sure Dodgers fans arent crying over their lopsided loss, 13-7, to the Marlins last night...so why should Yankee fans? 162 games...it is bound to happen.

Disclaimer: while not a Yankees fan (Mets), Im rooting hard for Yanks to beat Astros in the playoffs, so I am following more closely now. I didnt like hearing everyone say you might as well hand the WS rings to the Astros after picking up Greinke.

It was 22-4. They actually had a 2-0 lead after the first....and then Cleveland scored [b]14[/] runs in the second inning. Similar scenario as yesterday: Wang got shelled and had allowed 8 runs in the inning while recording just one out, so to save the pen Girardi put someone named Anthony Claggett in the game, who allowed 8 runs himself in 1.2 innings.

Claggett made only three MLB appearances, ending his major league career with 11 runs allowed in 3.2 IP for a 27.00 career ERA.
In a 162 game season games like yesterday's are inevitable. While the Yankees were having their clocks cleaned the Dodgers were getting torched by the Marlins. Chad Green didn't have it an Lasagna may have been called up too soon. The only thing thats important in these games is to save the bullpen. The only one I'm pissed at is Chance Adams who is becoming increasingly useless. The only thing a mop up relief pitcher has to do in that situation is eat up 3 or 4 innings. If he gives up 4,5 or 6 runs, who cares as long as he can stay in the game. But Adams couldn't even do that.
