Luis Severino is the Baddest Motherfucker on the Planet

Finally, a New York Yankees post that doesn’t feature Aaron Judge. But only because he had the day off.

The Yankees should have Sonny Gray (and maybe Yonder Alonso) done by Friday according to Jon Heyman. But it doesn’t matter as much because they’ve already got one of the best pitchers in all of baseball throwing for them every fifth day.

The best part of this Yankees team is Aaron Judge. The third best thing is probably Didi Gregorius. But the Robin to Judge’s Batman act is definitely Luis Severino. The most dominating young arm in the game since Noah Syndergaard in recent times.

Completely dominant this afternoon at Yankee Stadium in the Yankees win over the Reds. Seven innings of shutout baseball with nine K’s, it’s all become commonplace for the flame-throwing horse who signifies the Yankees ace.

I don’t give a shit who you are – if the Yankees sneak into the playoffs, and by getting who I think they’re about to get they’ll more than sneak; but push the Red Sox to the brink for the division title – Severino could take anyone down if he’s got his ‘A’ game going in a big postseason game.

The Yankees are more likable by the day.
