If Sevy comes back and dominates then that's a nice problem to have. I'd still pitch him and Tanaka away. Tanaka is the most mentally sturdy pitcher we have and Severino has the most dominant stuff that can shut an opponent down regardless of park.
Paxton being a lefty is more advantageous at Yankee Stadium than on the road as he gets to pitch to the deeper part of the park against lots of right-handed power. Additionally, Paxton would try to neutralize an opponent's lefty power by making them hit the other way, away from the short porch. German is brilliant at Yankee Stadium but gets crushed on the road
Yeah, I like your rotation(s). I'm just thinking we will get more innings from Sevy if he continues pain free. I was thinking German/Sevy combo or Green/Sevy combo last week before the news came back of Sevy doing well.
--I trust Tanaka to deal with a crazy road crowd
--Severino isn't a kid anymore; when he returns he gets big boy responsibility because his stuff can shut down a lineup regardless of location
--Paxton being a lefty should get priority pitching at home, plus his form has improved to the point where he can credibly pitch against another team's ace
--German will be fired up by the home crowd but could wilt against a playoff crowd in Minnesota or Houston (most likely opponents)
Couldn't have said it any better. All O want is CC and Happ to be nowhere near pitching in a meaningful game or moment.
The Yanks went 14-5 against the Red Sox this year Â
The last time the Yanks won 14 or more games in a regular season against Boston? 1960 (they went 15-7 in 22 games). They were 13-5 in 2012 and 10-3 in 1980 when there was a balanced schedule
Yep, just leaner. Maybe from the rehab on the hernia...
Good to see him get a couple of hits tonight and his first RBI since returning but I do think he's still dealing with that injury at least somewhat.
He didn't look like his normal happy pumped up self even after getting that RBI. Almost looked like he's fighting through it, with more relief than anything else.
I do agree he does look leaner and I wonder if the injury has affected his strength both mental and physical.
Game 1: Paxton
Game 2: German
Game 3: Tanaka
Game 4: Severino as a 4-5 inning guy, then the pen
Game 5: Paxton
Game 6 (in LCS or World Series): German
Game 7: Tanaka
Without home field advantage:
Game 1: Tanaka
Game 2: Severino as a 4-5 inning guy, then the pen
Game 3: Paxton
Game 4: German
Game 5: Tanaka
Game 6: Severino as a 4-5 inning guy, then the pen
Game 7: Paxton
Two games with Tanaka? No thanks.

He's been a little angry at himself since he came off the IL. He hit so well in AAA, but has been spinning his wheels since he came off IL on the Yanks. I think he's had numerous good ABs that netted zero results. The last two nights he's ripped the ball but right at people. But at least last night he had some solid hits.
IDK if he is still sore, but I thought his disposition last night was "finally/relief." He also has to know that he needs to hit or may not make postseason because of the OF injuries. A healthy Encarnacion is a lock. He is a better fielder and he is a dangerous hitter. Let's face it the Yanks best lineup has DJLM 1B, Torres 2B, Didi SS, Urshela 3B with EE as DH. Stanton as a viable OF allows Voit to make the roster as DH/1B.
Now if Giancarlo comes back healthy, a lot of pressure comes off the outfield roster. Maybin becomes the back up. It may also put Wade on the roster as a defensive replacement. Losing Tauchman was a big blow defensively.

Yeah section, finally/relief is a good way to put it and what I meant about his mental strength. No doubt his struggle since returning were wearing on him and it was showing. He did look more relieved than excited or happy last night.
I'm just used to seeing the pumped up, happy and energetic Voit out there and hope it is his struggles that is keeping that down and not because he's fighting through the injury and is just hoping it doesn't get worse.
The Tauchman injury really does suck and I feel for him. The guy got a shot, made the most of it and to have this happen so late in the year is a big blow. Now we're hoping Stanton can come back more out of necessity than a luxury or OF insurance. I do think if he comes back he has to be able to play the field,and if he can't I can see the Yanks leaving him off the playoff roster.

I started a discussion thread this morning to get off the game thread and of course threw a few ideas out there.....
RE: RE: RE: Playoff rotation setups if I were manager Â
I’d add Happ and cut down on one guy getting two starts. Look for 6 quality innings from each guy and lean on the bullpen. If someone pitches lights out obviously let them go deeper.
Banking on Severino for two starts on a pitch count seems foolish. Just add another starter to the rotation and keep everyone as fresh as possible.
None of these guys are aces. You should be pushing for multiple starts on short rest if you have an ace or two that you want multiple bites at the apple with.

I don't see how he can be playing with that thing. He does, but it's hard for me to understand why he isn't disabled by it.
He rehabbed it. It is just a pulled muscle and not really the same as a real hernia. Maybe it did not tear that much.
A shut out - 1st one this year against the Sawx..
Next man up to start the next game thread!
What a season.

Tanaka's career postseason numbers are exceptional and his 2019 numbers outside of 3 starts against Boston are pretty good.

I don’t trust him enough for two starts in a series. I don’t think I trust any of the starters for two starts in a series.
Yanks should have played Sweet Caroline in the clubhouse!
I’d add Happ and cut down on one guy getting two starts. Look for 6 quality innings from each guy and lean on the bullpen. If someone pitches lights out obviously let them go deeper.
