Luis Severino was tagged for nine runs on Sunday night, the third time already this season that he has allowed seven runs or more in a start.
C-Mac says Sunday’s disaster needs to be Severino’s last start as a Yankee.
“Severino is garbagio,” C-Mac said. “This is it. He’s lost. Here’s a good recommendation: don’t pitch again, and the Yankees absolutely have to do that.
“They can’t allow Severino to consistently go out there and blow games. Nestor Cortes is around the corner. Bring up a kid. We’ve seen [Randy] Vasquez, we’ve seen [Jhony] Brito, I don’t care if it’s a bullpen game. I don’t care if IKF starts. I mean it.”
If Severino makes another start, then C-Mac would be ready to declare that the franchise simply isn’t prioritizing winning and making a comeback in the Wild Card race.
“Luis Severino can’t start another game for the Yankees,” C-Mac said. “Put him in the bullpen, cut him, trade him, put him on the IL, I don’t care.
“If Severino is allowed to make another start for the Yankees, I don’t know how you could possibly say the Yankees care about winning.”
