Ron Darling

So uh what's the mood towards Ron Darling's observation that Luis Severino didn't start warming up til eight minutes before he was scheduled to take the mound last night? Is that really the way Severino "normally" operates? (I like a lot of Yankees players and have a number of lovely fans as mutuals on here; but I don't follow the Yankees that closely as a team, so I wouldn't know.)

ICYMI, according to Darling:

[TBS] had everything time-stamped. Severino didn't step on the field until 7:23. He didn't throw a pitch until 7:32.

I also could see [pitching coach] Larry Rothschild mouth the words to him, telling him it was a 7:40 start. In all my years as pitcher, I never had a pitching coach have to tell me what time the game was.

I'm not drawing any conclusions or saying the warm-up had anything to do with the way Severino pitched. It's not me trying to crack the code or doing some journalistic exercise. It just seemed unusual for a pitcher getting ready for a game like that, and when I find an oddity, it's my job to tell people about it.
