Yankees - The Thread in Perpetuity

Rumors flying that with CC going on the DL he might be done for the season. No idea if that counts also towards the playoffs. Do the Yanks have enough pitching? We will see.

Actually, they are better off without him. He's been a drag on the whole pitching staff for a few years now. The Yankees have had their hands tied. They couldn't take him out of the rotation because of who he is and how much he's getting paid. This is a blessing in disguise. My take: his career is done.

They wouldn't need him in the post season anyway. Usually, the team will shorten to a 3 man rotation for the short series with a #4 starter being an occasional necessity. They have (hopefully) Tanaka, Pineda and Nova and if they are smart, Severino to do that job along with a stout bullpen.

Edit: They have as much acknowledged the above scenario in their handling of, Pineda and the call up of Severino.

I've seen the stats and the decline, but it would simply be nice if he could of perhaps turned it around. Such as a resurgence like many others have done late in the season. I know exactly what you are saying though. I'm hoping with him out, someone younger can step up.

They are on fire and so dangerous with those bats.

ahem....

This is a Yankees thread! :-)

One birght spot in last night's debacle of a loss! Stephen Drew can pitch! LOL

**Merlin1958** · 08-26-2015 03:46 PM

.....And, Pineda didn't look sharp today as well. Hopefully, he'll get the kinks worked out over the next couple of starts.

Now comes the Braves!!!! Let's see if we can't shake this series off and get back on track!!!

I think you mean Brendan Ryan. Ironically, he's a better pitcher than he is a hitter.

Duh you're right! Not sure why I interchange these too so often! Maybe the shaved off 'stache threw me! LOL

No, it's the fact that neither can hit a lick.

Also, I hate to say it, but they have to sweep the Braves.

**Merlin1958** · 08-29-2015 04:35 PM

Well, we're up 1-0 with, Severino pitching in the 5th. That's all that phenom should need for a win!!!!

**Merlin1958** · 08-29-2015 05:03 PM

2 to zip in the 7th. We need this one and tomorrows game as well.

**Merlin1958** · 08-29-2015 05:35 PM

3-1 bottom of the 8th!!!

**Merlin1958** · 08-29-2015 06:32 PM

Put this one in the "win" column!!!

The kid, Severino looks like the real deal. What a great call-up from the farm. They should be tough in the post season with him in the rotation if he can stand up to the pressure. Anybody have any thoughts for the 3 man rotation come October?

I hate to think that far ahead, but I wouldn't be surprised if they go with 4 in the postseason. The top 4 would be Tanaka, Pineda, Severino and Eovaldi.

Also, they are a weird team. Some weeks they look like they've never swung a bat before and then other weeks they are putting up 3 touchdowns.

**Merlin1958** · 08-30-2015 04:35 PM

I'll take a sweep anyday!!! LOL 20-6!!!!!

OK Consider it done! :-)

Hey Bill going out on a limb here - Tanaka, Severino, Eovaldi!

Yeah, still hard to count, Pineda out.

We need a win tonight!!!!

**Merlin1958** · 09-01-2015 04:59 PM

2-1 top of the 7th!!! Toronto is tied with Clev. in the 7th as well.

Edit: Boo - Ya!!! Series even!!! Too bad the Jays won also.

**Merlin1958** · 09-02-2015 12:47 PM

For anyone not watching, 6-1 Yanks in the top of the 2nd. Bird and Murphy have two run shots.

Boston Sucks!!!!

**Still Servant** · 09-02-2015 06:02 PM

It drives me crazy when you have to use Betances and Miller in a game like that. Either way, a win is a win.

**Merlin1958** · 09-03-2015 02:32 PM

Our boys in Da Bronx are currently 74-58 overall, with a big three games series coming up this weekend. Best guess, how many wins do they need to grab the division title? The way Toronto is going I'd say pretty damn near 100. What do you guys think?

Whom ever guesses the actual total or is close to it gets an entry into the 2016 HF Grand Prize on me.

**Still Servant** · 09-03-2015 08:51 PM

Winner of this division is going to need at least 95 wins. I would say 98 to feel comfortable.
