Nerves, anxiety, and adrenaline are a few of many emotions that flood the mind and body of an athlete before, or even during, a big game. None of these, it appears, are present within New York Yankees right-handed pitcher Deivi Garcia as he prepares to take the mound Sunday for his fifth MLB start.
Turns out, Garcia not only showed none of the emotions that flood the mind and body of an athlete, he showed no command. He gave up six runs over three innings to a lineup that boasted five batters hitting below their weights - .220 - inspiring a blowout loss to baseball's third worst team. The game devolved into a Trumpian chaos with our backup catcher Eric Kratz on the mound, yelling "Watch out!" to a batter, and a renegade Bostonian fan threatening to leap from the Green Monster. For the first time in 2020, we lost to the self-tanking Redsocks.
But, hey, as Jimmy Kimmel could have said at the Emmys last night: Schitt happens, right?
Today, some follow-up questions:
What can we expect from Deivi Garcia in the post-season?
Were we wrong to assign him such an accelerated pace of development, and to basically slot him into a playoffs rotation after just three starts?
Yesterday afternoon, as the YES experts mused, J.A. Happ became our probable third playoffs starter, if one is needed. Garcia should get one last shot at redemption against the Marlins this weekend. If he pitches well, the Yankees will have a decision to make. If he gets whacked, our fourth starter will probably be Chad Green and the cast of Knot's Landing.
Today is a fine time to ponder the future of Garcia: a fiery 21-year-old who does not seem haunted by the nerves, anxiety and blah-blah-blah. In a real season, he would have thrown 100 innings at Scranton and only now be cracking the expanded September roster. He's had a great year, made vast inroads. And who knows: Maybe those news clippings that compared the kid to Pedro messed him up more than we think. Maybe yesterday, he did feel the nerves, the anxiety and the adrenaline. Maybe the internet is just full of bullshit. (Aside from this site and its commentators, of course.)
Today, we are tied in the loss column with Minnesota for home field advantage in the first round.
Our last "critical" series of the season begins tonight. Toronto. Gerrit Cole pitches. This is why we signed him. This is no rookie. This is why we hope.
But wait! What about James Paxton?
ReplyDeleteI kid, I kid!
Trumpian chaos? Me thinks your brain is leaking fluid again. All chaos is brought to you by left-wing thugs. But, don't let the facts behind the "summer of peace" get in the way. El, stick with baseball or go write a speech for Sleepy Joe with lots of spaces between words so he can read his teleprompter more easily.
ReplyDeleteAh, good to see that two measly words about daddy Trump in a 450-word blog post about a 21-year old pitcher can still trigger. And you thought this site's commentators were excluded from the general internet bullshittery.
ReplyDeleteIt was his first time pitching to Sanchez as opposed to Kratz. Not saying that was the reason but it might have factored.
ReplyDeleteSo Cole/Higgy Tanaka/Higgy Devi/Kratz Who does Happ prefer?

Anima,anominous,animus you are the best like we have never seen and are my favorite! By the way, I have seen you post in the past, is that an old family name?
ReplyDeleteThat "anonymous" is a fraud. The real anonymous is a radical leftist who abominates corporate lackeys of either party and warns you that Trump and Biden AGREE on the most important issues facing the country: opposing Medicare for all and a Green New Deal.
