    Think this should be Seve's last chance as a starter this season if he fucks up again. Then put him back in the pen and use him late innings where he has been effective. Not everyone is a starter despite their arm. E.G. Mariano and yes one of the most dominant 7th and 8th inning set up guys when he came onto the scene that cashman totally fucked up with the god damn Joba rules trying to force feed the kid as a starter Joba himself. If seve turns out to be a late inning reliever that throws around 100 I'd be fine with that as we need those guys also

    Sorry for the confusion guys, this morning they posted Severino as starting and now they have Mitchell.

    Me either Frank, Girardi said he wanted to give Judge and Sanchez a day off and both would be back in the Lineup tomorrow.

    Notice Austin in RF.
    Been thinking about what the Yanks had in mind next year regarding Austin and Bird.
    I strongly doubt if they were thinking platoon, or DH- Yanks rightfully are expecting and anticipating both to be everyday contributors playing a position.

    Bird is a 1b by trade and Austin HAS played the outfield in the minors.
    Just wondering, where or how the Yanks are looking to fit both of them.
    In any case, I guess if BOTH are hitting the Yanks will find another spot for Austin.

    Big game- Yanks like Mitchell and are putting him right into the fire.
    Go for it.
    Let it all hang out, Mitchell is in the mix in rebuilding this pitching staff and may as well get him some good experience as soon as possible- he and the Yanks can go into next season knowing he's had at least one good test instead of him starting 2017 not seeing action for a full season.

    Mitchell's bugaboo has been his control and falling behind on batters- has a good fastball and a pretty good breaking ball but he gets into trouble not throwing enough strikes.

    Baltimore and Detroit have already lost.
    Couple more runs would be gigantic.....and necessary.

    Ah shit, Yanks just got a tough break, Ellsbury's hit in LF corner bounced into seats for a grounds rule double preventing Gardner from scoring from first....Sonofabitch!

    Chalk up the first biggest lucky break for the Toronto Blowjobs.

    ...5 solid innings from Mitchell...good to see...still have not heard what prompted the Yanx to start him instead Of Severino. Don't know if there was an injury involved or disciplinary or something else. But it did seem kind of out of the blue.
