Once my doctor prescribed Flomax, it got pretty decent.

he also looked at 2 pitches right down the middle.

one leaves the yard.

5-1 Yanks

but have 5 runs.

team in the White Sox.

Nasty Nestor with another great start.

Jints performs his stopper roll..

Dass it.

8 strong innings for Nestor.

Love this dude. What a great story so far.

Nasty Nestor... what can you say anymore? We caught Chicago at a great time. They're getting healthy, but still struggling. I'd much rather play them now than August.

especially on the road.

I like ABs that travel 420 ft...

at 3B as well. The way Nestor pitches there are a lot of grounders to third by right handed batters.

Nice bounce back win after the tough one last night. I like how this team just shakes the loss off and finds a way to win and take the series.

Past couple of seasons it seemed to me they would’ve been happy with a road split but not this team. They want to rack up W’s any way, anywhere. I like it.

then the Orioles again, before they play the Rays. A chance to add to their win total and maybe put themselves in a position to make the playoffs even if they play .500 ball the rest of the way. Crazy.

Hope for 90 wins, pray for 95, dream of 100 and the top seed.

He’s been absolutely fantastic and a blast to watch.. He just takes the ball and throws, no pitch clock needed for him.

I know it’s a lot of work and he’s done what he had to do to reach this point in his career but he honestly makes his outings look effortless, which obviously they aren’t. They just look that way.

Just an incredible, unlikely story. Having what has literally amounted to a 2nd true ace emerge on this staff and it *not* be Severino has totally changed the trajectory of the '22 Yankees.

NYY are the only team left in the majors who have not yet allowed 100 runs.

I’d be 100% confident going into a playoff series with him in between Cole and Sevy. Pretty damn good top three with Monty and Tallion battling for #4.

The team is clicking seemingly on all fronts and just keeps rolling.

Need to see more of Severino, he has missed a lot of time.
He hasn't pitched a lot of innings in recent years.
A half dozen starts doesn't change that, also what will he have left later in the season, don't know yet?

True but he has show some signs that encourage optimism.

As long as the rest of the staff continues to impress, he just needs to stay healthy and build on each outing. I think they’re watching him closely with the plan of having him strong for the stretch and playoffs.

The beauty is that Severino doesn't HAVE to be anything other than solid every 5 days right now because the Yankees are scoring runs and have an elite BP.

Judge getting the night off. I'm good with that.

I'll let Jints do the honors on the GT since we're rolling. Gotta take 3 of 4 in BAL - I want all 4, but I'll scale my greed down just a notch with the expectation that we'll see a "that's baseball, Suzyn" game somewhere in this set that doesn't go our way.
