Luis Severino has no idea what Pedro Martinez is talking about

Luis Severino finished the regular season strong, with three straight solid starts, then followed that up with four-plus shutout innings in the Yankees’ wild-card victory over the A’s.

While he hasn’t returned to the Cy Young candidate form he showed for much of the first half, Severino enters Monday’s Game 3 of the ALDS looking significantly better than he did during the two-month stretch when he pitched to a 6.83 ERA over 11 starts.

From July 7 to Sept. 5, Severino’s season ERA rocketed from 1.98 to 3.52, but the right-hander insisted again Sunday that his poor performance was not due to an arm injury.
