I seriously think I have psycho-emotional issues. Last night when the Yanks took a 6-0 lead I legitimately thought they were ready to make a run at the playoffs. That's just how I'm geared. I see a few special moments - Green's gem, Judge and Austin's back-to-back, Sanchez's home run barrage - and all of the sudden I'm envisioning Chase Headley soaked in Don Pérignon hoisting the 2016 World Series trophy.
Safe to say the last 24 hours have been humbling. This lineup may be a LOT more dangerous with Judge/Sanchez in there as everyday players but that doesn't change the fact that this team can't pitch and hasn't been able to do so for 90% of this season. It's time to officially stop worrying about wins and losses and just enjoy watching the kids.
PS - Imagine the optimism that would've surrounded this team right now if Severino pitched half as well as he was supposed to this year? Hard to complain about the young talent coming through the pipeline but the young pitchers in this system have a ways to go before they can catch up with the bats.
