    I'm thinking warren is ticketed for the pen as soon as severino is ready and I'm hoping with a few more good starts in triple A severino comes up for good right after the alstar break. Glad to see CC showing some emotion the other day. He looked like the umpire stole a cheeseburger from him. That HP ump was horrible though

    ...Matts, off the top of your head, how many instances have there been in your life that you learned something of importance from someone younger than you?

    ...not many I'd bet...same with me...and same with most people if they are honest with themselves.

    How would the Yankees justify sending Warren to the pen if his next two starts are equal to his last 4 starts?

    ...that called 3rd strike on Tex was a terrible call...and there were others.

    ...a decision will certainly have to be made...but it's kinda nice having a surplus of young arms for a change.

    Honestly like you said, "Not Many" not many at all..........

    however, the one constant in my Life of learning, has been that of my Son, whom I tell, "you taught me more about life" (by being a father) than I ever knew.......

    and on the other hand, I can think of only 1 Older Person, who I taught one minor thing to, tho' it seemed major to him. That is: the old chef I once worked for, (the one who had me make bread pudding daily, once asked me to Poach Him 2 eggs. I did so in 2 minutes in a Microwave, & that blew his mind; [I still owe ya' that recipe and won't forget].....

    "When one disrespect the knowledge of their elders, then one has chosen to quit learning"..........!

    Your right rick. In that case it should be cc in the pen but we both know that is not happening. Severino has the kind of stuff that you don't ask if he's in the rotation you just put him in one of the slots

    Mel I have to disagree here, I just don't see the Yankees replacing a proven starter with an unproven rookie. BUT........nothing the Yankees do surprises me anymore.

    Not quite sure if this is a positive or negative assessment but one thing is for sure as we speak - Yanks are playing and doing well enough for a W-L record which is very close to or better than EVERY team in the majors except the ST Louis Cardinals.
    And they're not in our division, nor are they in the A.L.

    If we can't acknowledge, give cedit and pat the team on the back at times like this throughout a baseball season, when should we?
    Only on the day they win a world series?

    Just curious. Opinions welcomed.

    How about getting excited when their magic number is 20? But 103 is not the right time.

    Okay fair enough. I hear your preference but does this mean it isn't appropriate or the right time to recognize and give the team some credit for their current position?
    We're not in April - the season is well under way.

    Of course I give them credit for how they're playing of late BUT.......it's hard to be overly optimistic with this team when the last time they played this well was when they hit there high water mark of 9 games over 500 (21-12) only to lose 11 of there next 12. I'll feel a little better in August if they're still in 1st place & are 10-12 games above 500.
