Super Severino
And whatever that adjustment was allowed him to blow the opposition away for the next 6 innings. They talk about this kid having stuff, fastball up to 97, slider, change. But what he really showed tonight was that pitchability that separates the great ones from the good ones. Seems, like he gave up a run, then simplified, and basically K'd 8 and got bad contact with just his fastball and slider. This may have been his last start for the Dogs. He can certainly handle more and if the FSL isn't too difficult an adjustment, then he could start next year in AA, and then anything's possible.
Oh, and he held his velo through the 7th, so just because he's not big, doesn't mean he should be a reliever. This guy has starter stuff, and that advanced approach that makes it all play up.
This is someone Yankee fans should be very excited about, if they are not already.

He'll be gone at the deadline along with Gary Sanchez, Jose Ramirez and a high-ceiling prospect from the lower levels for Cliff Lee and Chase Utley. (Only half joking.)
Severino is probably safe until he hits AA.
But there will be (prospect) blood.
They can't trade this guy. About a 30% chance he flat fricking special.
Poor Murphy tonight.
That is another reason why I would clean house in terms or top decision makers. They haven't had this kind of young talent since about 2007 or 2008. Don't let people who have already proved they can't or won't finish off development have a chance to mess this up again. Thank them for their service and get people with a proven track record of developmental success.
Oh and DFA Soriano. He's a disasta.
I just don't know who those people are. And I'm also not sure they haven't made some improvements on the D side with the shifting around they did over the past offseason.
And the truth is, the farm is suddenly coughing up useful players again, including Betances, Whitley, Murphy and Ramirez.
And some of the prospects who were stalled are staring to turn it around. Mason Williams has even been good again since the last time they benched him for lollygagging.
The SI team got klled tonight, but they walked 7 times, and I love that, and that their manger Mario Garza is a stat head who's also a heart and soul guy. If they're getting guys like that, I think the problem is being solved.
