Good night for 21-year old Luis Severino, who made his major league debut for the Yankees and pitched five innings of one-earned run ball, striking out seven. Unfortunately, Stephen Wright's knuckle ball was better (8 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 9 K) in a 2-1 Boston win.
Yes, Wright throws a knuckle ball. "Knuckle ball", "Knuckle balls", "Knuckler", "Knuckle baller", those four things were said 23 times in Wright's eight half-innings of work, an average of nearly three per inning.
Also: John Flaherty called Mike Napoli getting hit by a pitch in the seventh inning "old school".
Sir, what are you talking about?
Getting hit by pitches is old school?!
"This current generation of players, they don't get hit with pitches like they used to. That's old school!"
And will close this one out by taking a look at some intense cotton candy guzzling (ICCG).
