“The most important thing here is to feel normal as a human being,” Cervelli said. “I haven’t been feeling normal in a long time -- I probably don’t know what’s normal. I’m not saying I feel bad ... I can be better than this.
He added: “I see my family suffering for this thing and people around me who love me they suffer a lot because they see me every day the way I wake up and the way I behave myself -- it’s not normal. So, I’m going to do this to improve and have a quality life with them. That’s the most important thing.”
...
“It’s easier just to throw in the towel and say, ‘Let me rest and one day, I’ll be good,’” Cervelli said. “No, I want to work [on] this thing, I want to face it and I want to fight against it, because it’s been with me for a long, long, long time. It doesn’t belong in my body or in my brain and so it’s going to go out.""My guys are savages in the box!" - Aaron Boone

Re: The Former Yankee Performance Thread v4.0
San Diego's Kirby Yates got his 31st save, and he's on pace for 53. That would be tied for the sixth most in a season and tied with Trevor Hoffman in 1998 for San Diego's record. Tonight he struck out the side and lowered his ERA to 1.07. The best ERA in a season with at least 50 saves is 1.20 by Eric Gagne in 2003, so Yates is on pace to have the best ERA in a season with at least 50 saves. Gagne won the Cy Young that year.

Re: The Former Yankee Performance Thread v4.0
I always thought Vance was proof there are aliens who abduct people from their beds at night and poke and prod their bodies to study humans. And one evening shortly after being sold for some sod to Sacramento of the California Penal League, a sympathetic group of aliens abducted Vance and fixed his arm. I mean, for all intensive porpoises, he didn't really begin his march towards the Hall of Fame until he was 31.

Re: The Former Yankee Performance Thread v4.0
Ryan Lavarnway hit 3 home runs in 108 at-bats for SWB, who let him go. He not a former Yankee, just a former Yankee minor leaguer. Cincinnati, who struggles to score, started him yesterday. In his first MLB game of the season, he went 3-for-4 with 2 home runs, 1 double, 1 walk, and 6 RBI. It was his first multi-home run game since he hit his first 2 home runs in the same game on September 27, 2011. It was his career-high in RBI. His previous career-high was 4 which he did in that game and on September 14, 2012.

Re: The Former Yankee Performance Thread v4.0
Nice! Didn’t realize he took a similar path as Vance did.
He went to bed and taken away as Leonard Comstock, carpet salesman.
Returned to earth, and woke up as Lefty O’Doul, who in 1929 (at age 32) would go on to hit .398/.465/.622. Man, Baker Bowl was an extreme hitter’s park. He hit .454/.515/.689 there that season.

Re: The Former Yankee Performance Thread v4.0
Look at the curious two-way player, Cy Seymour. Walked a lot of batters. Struckout a lot of them, too (relatively for the era). In 1898 he won 25 games as a pitcher, and in 1905, hit .377 (one HR shy of the Triple Crown). The only other player to win more than 100 games and collect over 1500 hits?

Being on the 60 day IL for a concussion didn't stop Cervelli from being ejected for fighting.

Re: The Former Yankee Performance Thread v4.0
He threw a career high 356 IP in 1898 and went 25-19. He lead the league in both walls and strikeout in 1897 and 1898.
I'm guessing he was injured in 1900 because he only played 23 games and after that he appears almost exclusively as hitter. At least that's what I get out of his BR page. https://www.baseball-reference.com/p...eymocy01.shtmlBaseball is life;
the rest is just details.
