This is the infuriating question.
When did the Yankees' brain sawdust trust know that Severino's arm was hurting?
After those first bad starts midway through 2018? Or was that the reason why he was not "on time" for the playoff game against Boston? Was the reality that they didn't want him starting, but he insisted? Or somebody else insisted?
I don't want to hear any nonsense, either, about how he didn't say anything but bravely tried to battle through. Pitchers, especially young pitchers, will try to do that. They've been taught that it's their job.
When did Rothschild/Boone/Cashie and—yes, you, "Mr. Financial Geek"—know that this exceptional young talent was hurting and refuse to shut him down?
When did you decide to make up the lie about Severino tipping pitches?
Did you do it in the hope that he could pitch well enough to secure the next world championship you could all batten off for another ten years?
How exactly did this go down?
I don't expect voluntary answers. But it sure would be nice if we had a press corps interested in finding out the truth, rather than yelling at us for not being properly grateful to the Yankees organization.

What Did Hal Know and When Did He Know It?

I'm not sure that he was hurt last year. I think he just wears down and starts tipping.
If they knew he had a bad arm why sign him to an extension? Why not wait? Sometimes inflammation is just inflammation.
It is interesting that the two guys they extended are both hurt.
Did you read Sonny Gray's comments in the Post today. He basically blamed Rothschild for screwing him up. He looks mad in the photo too.

I would agree with you, Doug K., save for this is the same organization in which Brian Cashman has repeatedly drafted or acquired pitchers knowing they were about to have—or had just had—rotator cuff surgery, delighting in what a "bargain" they were getting.
I find it very hard to believe that an entire half-season of baseball in which Severino went from the best ERA in the bigs to the worst (for that half) was due only to pitch tipping, and not injury.
And—looking at Cashman's past record—I find it entirely plausible and thought it would produce yet another "bargain."
Interesting to hear about Sonny Gray. I think he should admit that not only Rothschild is to blame—judging by how much better Sonny did on the road—but it's hard to think of any pitcher who becomes better on coming to the Yankees.
Hoss,
"save for this is the same organization in which Brian Cashman has repeatedly drafted or acquired pitchers knowing they were about to have—or had just had—rotator cuff surgery, delighting in what a "bargain" they were getting."
That's a very good point.
