Kudos to Luis Severino for taking a no-hitter into the eighth inning yesterday. Seriously. Congrats in order.
Still, WTF? I mean, damn, humina-humina, I'm sorry, I'M REALLY SORRY... but we sank nine years into this guy, waiting and hoping for him to put it all together and win a Cy Young, and now, he's gonna be a star with the Mets?
Yankee players still stay in touch. They love the guy.
WTF?

Hey E.D. - did you get your jelly donut yet?
Maybe getting away from The Gas Station is his key...
Neil Keefe: “anyone surprised the two best hitters on the team through the first month are two players the Yankees didn’t draft or develop and have had the least to do with the major-league success?”
Also, on Stanton’s base “running”… “It’s not running. It’s jogging. It may not even be jogging. It’s the type of speed a valet attendant uses to go get your car. Unfortunately, Stanton isn’t going to get faster, only slower, which is hard to believe.”
😟
So about that 1909 Browns team:
—Lou Criger had been a catcher on the 1903-04 Sox championship teams, but he was done, a .170 hitter in 1909. Of course, the next year he was picked up by...your New York Yankees.
—Roy Hartzell would also go on to the Yankees, where he would hit a decent (for the deadball era) .261 over the next six seasons.
—Bobby Wallace would make the HOF for his slick fielding, and would play on forever, but he was too old already in 1909, and would go the last 10 years of his playing career without homering.
Basically, a team that was WAY too old. Hmm...what does that remind us of?
As for Severino...huh, could it be that another team has found the key to keeping a former Yankee healthy and good? Nah!

Miss October 1998, Laura Cover. More like Laura UN-covered if you ask me.
Not baseball related but the strangest thing I watched today

Just shared that Doug with a fan of Zappa.
Just watched Rizzo hit into a 3-6-4 DP, with Stanton on first. It was like watching an Old Timers' Day clip.
Then Gleyber came up and grounded out. He has now gone 51 games and 225 plate appearances without a homer. This is epic.
Need to change the headline from "GIDDY" to "GIDP-Y"
Rizzo really is just a fragment of what he used to be. And I don't understand how that is a double and not an error. Rizzo went deep into right field, fought off Soto, got his glove on the ball...and dropped it.
And...Gleyber follows up by hitting the lead runner with a throw, allowing a run. Also a really good look by Cabrera, ducking away from the ball like a scared Little Leaguer.
Sigh.
So, awful hitting followed by a defensive meltdown the next half-inning. The one thing a veteran team should give you is composure. That's not happening. I'm out of here—can't stand to watch this kind of baseball.
Well, at least Judge didn't hit into a double play. It would have been, but there were already two outs.
Another game lost. The sweep seems inevitable. Can we salvage one game.
Since starting 12-3 we are 7-9 and sinking. and stinking.
