Like most of us, Mike Francesa saves his spiciest takes for Twitter.
The broadcasting legend slammed the Yankees after their 3-2 ALCS Recreation 2 loss to the Astros, after which beginning pitcher Luis Severino stated Houston “obtained fortunate.”
“Yanks sound like losers after the sport. Shut up about exit velo. Attempt hitting the ball,” Francesa tweeted on Thursday evening.
Francesa was referring to Severino citing the exit velocity of Alex Bregman’s house run and Aaron Choose’s lengthy fly ball that was snagged on the right-field fence by Kyle Tucker.
“[Bregman] hit it 91 mph,’’ Severino instructed reporters of Bregman’s three-run, third-inning blast into the Crawford Bins in left subject. “That’s the one factor I’m gonna say. And Choose hit it 106 [mph] and it didn’t exit. They obtained fortunate.”
Francesa didn't respect Severino’s dismissive tone because the Yankees at the moment are in a 2-0 gap in opposition to their hated rivals.
Choose’s eighth-inning shot to proper, almost a game-flipping, two-run homer, fell simply in need of the fence and into the glove of Kyle Tucker.
On his BetRivers podcast that the longtime WFAN staple recorded after the present, he took a extra measured tone. Francesa nonetheless lamented the Yankees’ lack of hitting and accurately famous that the Yankees would have gotten shut out if not for beginning pitcher Framber Valdez’s two-base error within the fourth inning. Nonetheless, Francesa preferred the Yankees’ possibilities in Recreation 3 on Saturday in The Bronx with ace Gerrit Cole on the mound.
“The Yankees didn’t put two guys on base in any inning,” Francesa stated. “Very arduous to win hat manner except you’re going to hit a bunch of solo house runs. They didn't they usually struck out 13 instances. That’s 30 instances in two video games. It's important to put the ball in play, get some base hits, they don’t get any hits. Possibly the house cooking will likely be a difference-maker.”
Francesa did have two optimistic takeaways; the choice to maneuver Harrison Bader to leadoff and the defensive wizardry of shortstop Oswald Peraza after the touted prospect made his first begin of the postseason there on Thursday evening.
