LOSING & HURTING. WE NEED TO GET OUT OF THE RUT!

This sucks. No way around it. This is not the Yankee team I thought we were getting.

Another loss last night and more to it, Luis Severino is not out of the woods yet.  What the hell, man?

We'll go with Alyson Footer from MLB.com on this one, because she writes a good story and she's awesome...

"The hit that decided the game between the Yankees and Astros at Minute Maid Park Monday night traveled 22 feet with an exit velocity of 28.9 mph, and a launch angle of two degrees. That’s all it took for the Yankees to lose to the Astros, 4-3, after they led for most of the game behind the strength of timely hits off Houston ace Justin Verlander, against whom they've had very little success. 

The Yankees and Astros are two of the American League’s most powerful teams, but this time, all it took was a Carlos Correa dribbler to call it a night." 

But that's not all.  Fans got word about Severino last night.  Why don't you just kick us while we're down?

ESPN writes this...

"Luis Severino will be returning to New York on Monday night from Tampa, Florida, to get an MRI and be reevaluated by head team physician Dr. Chris Ahmad, manager Aaron Boone said. The MRI and other testing will be conducted Tuesday. 

Severino, who was shut down at the beginning of March due to rotator cuff inflammation in his right shoulder, isn't experiencing pain; but he isn't where he wants to be, and the team wants an examination to determine why he isn't progressing as expected, Boone said ahead of the Yankees' series opener in Houston."

That's interesting and worrisome. I wonder if Ahmad has answers.  I'm concerned.  How about maybe Dallas Keuchel could help?

Whatever the case, Yanks aren't where they need to be either.  They are limping, and sure it's early, but it's concerning too.

Can they turn it around? Sure they can... but I want them to like now. This Yankee fan is already getting impatient.  Just sayin'.
