Proud2BAHoosier Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 Yanks getting totally embarrassed by the O's 13-0 so far. Severino got tagged for 7 runs and Abreu for 6. O's have a total of 15 hits. The Yanks? A whopping 1 hit Severino is a shell of his former self and needs to be DFA'd and some serious ass chewing to the rest of the team..

Kind of funny how two teams with almost identical records can be viewed so differently from fans. Reds 49-39 is two games ahead in their division. The Yankees are 48-39 but are in third place and 8.5 games back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
btownqb Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) exactly why I wasnt watching a year ago. Current lineup is very fun and incredibly deep against LHP and RHP. Edited July 7, 2023 by btownqb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonight's game was a total ass whooping. The O's are younger, hungrier and want it more. The Yanks? They are complacent and play with no effort. Like letting a foul ball drop in between 2 players. The pitchers threw a total of 233 pitches!!! Severino needs to go NOW!! And take Cashman with him, he's responsible for the construction of this team and a lot of history with bad trades! I can see the Yankees being sellers by the trade deadline... Rant over... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He tore it up in ST then quickly struggled when the regular season started. Glad Votto got him going down the right path. Guy is a superb athlete.

I mean.. what's his ceiling? 6'5 230 plus runner, not elite, but he can move.

That being said I say he is gonna be a .275/20/75 type guy(I hope). That will also get you around 30 SBs a year. I say the ceiling is an All-Star. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year when facing RH pitchers our lineup has no easy outs. It seems like the offense isn't as potent against LH starters. Like yesterday the hitting for the first 7 innings wasn't great. We didn't have Freidl, Fraley, or Votto instead we had Newman, Maile and Senzel. Against RH pitchers your 7-9 hitters are Steer, Stephenson and Benson and I doubt many teams have a lineup that deep.

The LHP lineup didnt go against a LHP, though. But yes, the RHP lineup is better. Edited July 7, 2023 by btownqb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
