*("Cy") King Cole Stats/ Severino Return

[Mattingly23NY]

Cole, who has a 0.38 ERA in his last four starts (all wins) and is 14-6 with a 2.77 ERA this season:

— His 15 strikeouts were one shy of the career high he set in 2018.

— It was his ninth double-digit strikeout game of the season, tying David Cone (1998) for the most in franchise history.

— It was his sixth start in his last eight outings in which he’s allowed one run or less.

— His 116 pitches marked the second-most of the season (he threw 129 at Houston on July 10).

* I gotta give credit to Vic for the brilliant nickname of "Cy". Vic (Messiah), was the one and only who labeled Gerritt with this very fitting moniker ... then I stole it!

On another note:
When and If Severino returns, should he workout of the Bullpen or as a Starter?

1- Set-up Reliever
2- As a Closer
3- As a Starter


Reasons being Chapman is t o often erratic. Although he was brilliant unlike ever before from April to Mid-May. One never knows what to expect out of Him. The last gamble I would want to see is Chapman closing in a tight and close win or go home Post Season game. More than likely so will Severino in any role.
Sevey has also been erratic as a Starter in Post Season. He's shown flashes of brilliance, followed by melt downs in some P.S. Games as well. Yet the Yanx need a solid Starter, as much as they need a lights out consistent Closer.

Imo, I would start calling on Johnny Lasagna as our closer. I can't see that it would hurt, and it's worth a try. I would use Severino as a Starter, where he's needed most.
I would not be surprised IF Sevey returns with a diminished fastball. Hope not, but he's not pitched in a regular basis in the last 2-3seasons.

Here's another Wild Card...what about Domingo German?

His stuff is so good that I think he'd be great in mid to late inning relief.

And oh, Messiah is a known trouble maker and shit stirrer and pink Yankees hat wearing mofo, ...and must be destroyed.

A Great Idea imo!
Germán has often reminded me of Tom "Flash" Gordon, as a Starter, a Closer, and a Set-Up man for Mo.

When he's on, his Sinker has eyes in the ball, one of those brilliant pitches that breaks at the moment a hitter swings, (as you know well).

Opposing Batter's have gotta respect a Pitcher like Herman the German
No doubt he's earned my respect.

I hear tell that (Pink) Hat is not the only pink under-garment... I mean piece of pink clothing he wears... according to our old insider and henpecked pussy-whipped ex-member P."Rick2583", who told me years ago to be cautious with the trouble making, shit stirring board mod, who personally trained Jonah Falcon, 1918 and bridesagain and many other ass-clowns...

P-Rick said in utter secrecy (and only he, P-Rick would know),
Vic's Wife dresses Him every morning... but please keep this inside secret info under your hardcore "bleeds (navy) blue" hat. We don't want to let the cat out of the bag...

If I'm gonna get whipped with something, I can't think of anything I'd rather be whipped with.
