Sox are just having career years out of literally everyone. Not a ton you can do about that.
Yanks also missing Judge and Gary.

It wouldn't really surprise me. It's the type of veteran savvy pitchers that you want at the backend of the rotation in my view.
It could really stabilize things, but the bats have to heat up again. It feels like they've struggled most of the year in beating bad teams, so last night is a step in the right direction.

Sonny Gray is really the only player whom the lack of patience is justified.
(Although Gary Sanchez, injuries not withstanding, has been testing the length of his leash...)

His ability to pitch so well on the road and so poorly at Yankee Stadium is mystifying.

F*** off
Yankees best starters right now are Happ and Lynn.
This season is over for Yankees if Tanaka and Severino can't stop being complete waste of money.

To be fair, Severino makes $600k
. I hear you, though.Just keep telling yourself "The Yankees have the 2nd best record in baseball". Because they do. And that's without Judge and Sanchez currently, even if Sanchez is having a down year.
It's frustrating because the Red Sox are playing f***ing insane this year. But, in reality, this team should be able to win a 1 game playoff. At this rate, I think I'd pitch Happ in that game honestly.

I mean I do understand that they can't do anything about Sawx and their record would have been good enough any other year.To be fair, Severino makes $600k

But man, bad pitching will not win you anything in October.

Tanaka has been good this year.
He hits a rough patch and suddenly he's a waste of money.
By the same token this lineup should be scoring more than five runs on any given night.
Never change, Yankees Universe.

They should be able to but they aren’t set up that way so I wouldn’t be surprised if the 2nd best team in the league drops out early. 1 game playoffs means all you need is one dominant pitcher to move on and the Yankees don’t have that.

Well of course you aren’t going to lose them all but I would take a dominant starter in a one game series over just about any other facet of a baseball team.

They probably won't have a healthy Judge this time and god only knows what Sanchez is going to be by October. Honestly the Yankees aren't the same team that went 40-15 earlier in the year or whatever it was...Torres is slumping too, Bird's never gotten on track. They have the great bullpen but even that's had its moments of roller-coasterdom.
Obviously the Yankees would still be favored in a home matchup against Seattle or Oakland, but it wouldn't be prohbitively. Seattle has the better SP of the two if Paxton's healthy, but the A's are playing better on the whole. They may need divine intervention if they somehow get stuck playing a healthy Houston though, assuming Verlander's pitching (maybe even Cole).
