With no starters able to go more than five innings this bullpen will be dead by Memorial Day. It's bad when even Tanaka looks like crap. This guy is supposed to have stellar control and he manages four walks and two hit batters in five innings.
With Girardi it will always be woulda coulda, shoulda. Ugh! So, the big mystery has got to be Tanaka. What exactly happened to him from his last Spring Training start? Something happened.......because he sure looks like crap.
Sad to say that the only starting pitching performances that were halfway decent was Sabathia and Severino and then the Bullpen shit the bed.
Too early to panic as I think he will get himself straightened out. That said even with that he's a solid number two at this point and not an ace.
When I left home at 6:30 Yanks had the lead. Upon finishing the shopping trip with the squeeze, I did a score check. Her comment was I had the ability to invent curse words with a very glib tongue. So it looks like the game fuck ups were Tanaka, and Betances. The offense is noted for finding a one run lead insurmountable. They tossed out the duds, brought up the kids, but this Yankee team is still on the skids. Did not expect a playoff spot this season but did no anticipate such a shitty start either. Cashman & Steinbrenner, building blocks for success.
Tank didn't look balanced at all, looked a bit awkward indeed. Self imploded after slipping past the ball down the line, then couldn't hit his spot, thank god that inning ended as crazy as it began. Hope Sanchise didn't hurt himself more than a minor tweak. If this is any barometer of the season, the Yanx are in serious trouble, gonna' hold my breath, not panic, and then.... turn blue.
