Mets’ Luis Severino pokes fun at former team, says Yankees ‘only have two good hitters’

Next week will mark the conclusion of the Mets

and Yankees’ 2024 Subway Series. The Yankees

will try to exact revenge in the Bronx after the

Mets defeated them two games to one at Citi

Field last month. Luis Severino will not play

against his former team as the Mets confirmed

on Friday that seasoned lefties Jose Quintana and

Sean Manaea will start the two Subway Series

games. He also skipped last month’s game

against the Yankees. Naturally, Severino’s former

Yankees teammates are pissing him off about it,

but Severino made a strong recovery.

“We have a group chat, the guys who’ve been

through the Yankees and stayed with the

Yankees. They talk s— about me, like, ‘You’re

afraid of us,'” Severino said Friday. “I said, ‘I’m

not afraid of you guys. Right now you only have

two good hitters.’ I can walk those two guys. It’s

always friendly competition with players I’ve

already played with. It’s going to be fun, and

hopefully in the future I can face them.”

Hey, Severino’s not wrong! The Yankees are

heavily reliant on Aaron Judge and Juan Soto.

Since Giancarlo Stanton got hurt on June 22,

Judge and Soto are hitting .291/.431/.575 with 11

home runs. The rest of the Yankees are hitting

.214/.283/.354 with 16 home runs. That’s in 19

games too. Not, like, five. The Yankees are a two-

man army. The good news for the Yankees, I

suppose, is that Stanton, who had a.795 OPS and

18 home runs prior to his hamstring injury, went

through full agility drills on Friday and could be

able to return to the team soon. Of course, the

Yankees led MLB in average runs per game going

into the second half, even with the non-Judge/

Soto side of the offense being so lackluster.

Severino, on the other hand, has pitched 109 2/3

innings with a 3.78 ERA in his impressive

comeback season. He has also remained well.

From 2019 to 23 injuries were a major issue. For

the Yankees last season, Severino tossed 89 1/3

innings with a 6.65 ERA. After the season, the two

teams split ways, and Severino is doing well with

his fresh start in Queens.
