 it is July 23rd. So the trading deadline is going to be next Wednesday. Unless the giants lose every game between now and then, theoretically, they're still going to be very much alive at the trade deadline. They're not going to trade Baumgartner. Washington's got the number one wildcard. They're not going to be trading Scherzer. Any pitcher you get is most likely going to be an inexperienced postseason pitcher. How is that going to make you feel any better? And when you saw the Yankees thumb their nose at Corbin, didn't want to give them an extra year, didn't seem to be a legitimate player for Dallas Keichel, do we start to think that the Yankees feel that they don't need another pitcher? Either they believe Severino is going to be healthy in the postseason or they believe because they're 8-0 with openers, they can go with an opener and have Severino be part of the bullpen and that you could still have Tanaka be your ace. You can still have Paxton pitch, Hermann pitch and you've got the insurance policy, the best bullpen and baseball and just ask my starters. You know what? Just give me a couple of innings and then we'll go right to our bullpen. You know, he has to show it now. Trevor Bauer 9-7, earned an average near 4. Marcus Strowman's never pitched in the postseason in a big game. Robbie Ray the same thing. Matthew Boyd, we talked about him. He's a phenomenal pitcher playing a pitcher on a bad team, never pitched in the postseason before. Mike Miner, any of those guys float your boat outside of Madison Bumgarner who I don't think the Giants are going to trade. I think the Yankees are prepared to go with their starting pitchers and prepared to use their bullpen every single night and the one thing they have going for them that we always forget about, they're days off in the postseason. You know, you don't play 20 straight games in the postseason. You do it in the regular season where you can wear your bullpen out, but that first series best of five, you're going to get two games and you get a day off. So you're going to get those situations where you're going to be able to give your bullpen a rest and when Tanaka pitches, he can legitimately give you seven, eight innings because he's a big game pitcher and that could be a night that also rests your bullpen. But you know what? Herman, you're going to pitch game three and you know what? Give me three, four solid innings and we got your back with our bullpen. Paxton, never pitch more than 160 innings in your life. Never pitched in the postseason. Just give me four solid innings. We'll go to the bullpen. We'll get 15 outs out of the bullpen. Don't worry. We've got a travel day the next day or if we win this series, we'll get a couple of days off before we get to the league championship series or we'll get a couple three days off before the World Series if we can wrap the series up quick. Maybe that's the Yankees thinking. So maybe you as the fan are thinking about the insurance policy of getting that starter. I'm not sure the Yankees are thinking that way. They might bolster the bullpen. So I think we're talking about it. I'm not sure the Yankees are that concerned about it because if they were that concerned about it, I think they would have went the extra mile for Dallas Keichel.
