Hopefully Yankees fans took something of a mental health day yesterday — it’s not been easy to watch this team fail every which way against subpar competition. After an offday to cleanse the palate, the Marlins present the newest test for our lethargic last-place squad.
Most recently, fans took exception to the puzzling decision to insert Luis Severino after a clean first inning by opener Ian Hamilton in Wednesday’s game. Hamilton carries a 1.63 ERA on the season. Inexplicably, management acted as if skipping the first inning would somehow solve Sevy’s woes, even though in almost every start, the second inning was also horrendous, and the third, etc.
