CLOSE BMC – The Bronx Pinstripes Show #74

Good news in Yankees land, as they won 3 consecutive series vs the Red Sox, Royals, and White Sox. Things are starting to look up!

BP Show 74 topics: Aroldis Chapman‘s debut, injury updates to ARod and CC, if Girardi should move Mark Teixeira down in the order, Aaron Hicks‘ turnaround, Jorge Mateo news, Max Scherzer‘s 20 strikeout game, and Bryce Harper being the bad boy of baseball. We break down this week’s games; including why we think David Ortiz will un-retire, Ivan Nova‘s strong starts, Michael Pineda‘s early inning struggles, Luis Severino‘s injury, why Masahiro Tanaka can’t pitch on normal rest, and Chase Headley finally hitting. Mailbag questions: someone has issue with Paul O’Neill broadcasting, what is the key to the Yankees getting back in the AL East race, MLB in London, and win-streaks under Joe Girardi.

It has been a lost 2016 for Luis Severino, and the low point came on Friday night vs the White Sox when he left the Yankee Stadium mound after 2.2 innings and 7 earned runs with a right tricep injury. Severino was placed on the 15-day DL after the game, but there is a silver lining in this whole mess.

First, the injury does not seem to be that serious. If it had been his elbow, it would be time to panic. We all know what an elbow injury means, and it rhymes with Jonny Tom surgery. But a tricep injury should be a normal rehab.

Second, the Yankees were probably going to send Severino to Triple-A due to his struggles. This allows them to “send him down” without actually demoting him. After rehabbing, Luis can work on his off speed pitches in the minors without having to worry about winning games at the big league level. Both he and the team were not benefiting at all from Severino getting crushed every fifth day, so actually, this is a blessing in disguise…at least that’s how I’m looking at it.
