Severino Brilliant Again

Luis Severino just wrapped up another 7.1 inning start.  He gave up one run on 7 hits.  Four of the hits were infield hits and one or two plays should have been made and no run scored.  Anyway, he struck out 8 and the change was get swings and misses as we as the fastball and his nasty slider.  Yanks are crushing 8-1 right now in the top of the 8th, and both Gardy and Holliday hit two early bombs.  Judge had a single, a walk and a laser double that reminded me of one I saw Bo Jackson hit that went by Winfield before he could move. Severino is becoming as big a story as Judge and that is saying something, since Judge might be the MVP.

Rich, RE: you're comments on Harper in the other thread — I think it's at least progress that the pitcher got more days off than the hitter. Not sure that happens often. If Harper becomes a Yankee (and I think that's a near certainty given his marketability), I hope they don't try to tell him to change his personality because of the team's stupid unspoken rules.

Severino is every bit as important to the future as the hitters.

Mike

The only thing is that a relief pitcher can't pitch every day, so six games is like what, four? That's what Harper got.

I can't wait to see Sanchez get untracked.

Richie -- Understood, but I think that what's important to these guys is the money, not whether they are missing games. Strickland lost a greater % of his salary so, in their minds, he got greater punishment. I know that's crazy to us fans, but we don't count so long as we're buying tickets and eating overpriced hotdogs. Cheers! S68.

If that is true, Stot, why would he wait almost 3 years after a series in which his team won to put any money at risk?

Harper's suspension was reduced to 3 games.

Torre is still Chauncey Gardner.

The primary offender had his suspension reduced to 3 games. MLB is a disgrace.

Is it better if Tanaka is hurt?

I was talking about from the perspective of MLB, not necessarily the players. Relief pitchers who PO their managers go to the back of the bullpen and end up on the bottom of the heap at contract time. Cheers! S68.

A hot Sanchez would be good.

Just when it seemed that Hicks was normalizing, he has put that idea to rest.

Cashman is looking good on the Hicks/Murphy deal as Murphy is stuck in AAA Rochester for the Twins.

Lets see if Gardner gets traded so Hicks can get regular playing time with Frazier getting more experience in SWB.

Had a dream that we were re-acquiring a past pitcher. Hope it's not Quintana.

It's pretty obvious that despite getting 2 hits in his second start, Joey benched Refs because he had trouble handling a bunch of bad throws by Didi. Yet Carter, a misguided signing, has been considerably worse. Fortunately, Carter, like Refs, will be gone when Bird and Austin get here.

I have said it for months. Trade Didi for the best young, cost-controlled pitcher available. His poor plate discipline caps his ceiling.

Refs back at 1B...
