WTH kind of name is Chasen?

[Northern Star]

Very disappointed by the Yankees taking three from the Royals, and their offense showing life. Hopefully the White Sox will beat Severino like a rented drum tonight.

Severino needs to go down when CC comes back. He has lost his confidence and seems to have lost his location on his slider. That slider was a devastating out pitch, but he's lost his release point. Now, he either hangs it or he's burying it into the ground. He's lost some confidence in his changeup too as he is slowing down his arm speed and telegraphing it. Last yr he came up with no expectations and his mechanics going. This yr, he has started all messed up and needs to refine his mechanics out of the light. He'll be back

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about.

Trade you Sandoval and Owens for him, Yankees pick up Panda's money.

Um...the .246 obp leads off??

Unfortunately, what we could have predicted is true. A lot of times, an injury manifests itself first as poor command or production and later as pain. Severino left the game with elbow pain and is due for an MRI tomorrow. Wouldn't be surprised if something bad is in there

uh-oh.

when it rains it pours.

Fucking Beltran. It took three minutes for him to round the bases on those knees.

How are the Yankees going to win a series against the hottest team in the league? Unreal.

[jacksonianmarch]

Surprising that we're actually doing it with offense. Now that we have Chapman, the original blueprint can work. The problem is, we had such a bad April that we may not recover even if we get hot

[Youk Of The Nation]

Connor Mullee looks like a 12-year old wearing his dad's uniform. It looks like it'll be another 10 years before he even has to worry about the Yankee's facial hair policy.

[jacksonianmarch]

And he's 27. He's quite a story. Converted IFer blows out his elbow twice in the Yankees system. Was basically left for dead and climbs back throwing harder than ever. I hope he makes it

[jacksonianmarch]

5 in a row, 13-8 in May and the back end of the pen shortening games to 6 innings. CC has finally gotten his stuff together after years of diminished stuff. Nova has found it again. Eovaldi has come on and Tanaka has been dominant. Sevy is recovering in AAA and should be waiting in the wings should Pineda finally get sent to the glue factory. Our games are 6 innings long when ahead, and the pen is certainly hiding some blemishes. We miss Bird as Tex has been horrendous. Tex could have been phantom DL'd to freshen him up a bit, but for now we must bite the bullet

Our defense has been really good in the OF with Beltran at DH and Beltran has been lighting shit up playing half games. Girardi really has his work cut out for him when Roidfreak returns. We have won 5 in a row and are 13-8 in the month of May. We leapfrogged two teams today and are 3rd, 5.5 behind the sox

The most accomplished professionals in the fields of linguistics and international communications estimate that there are more than 6,500 languages spoken in the world, some of them confined to small aboriginal tribes, some of them spoken by hundreds of millions of people on every continent, some of them completely unknown by anyone due to the uncontacted status of the communities that speak them. In all of those languages, from English to French to Tagalog, from Navajo and Dutch to Punjab and Khmer, there are no words or phrases which adequately describe the depths of my loathing for the fucking New York Yankees.
