Luis Torrens delivers latest all-around effort since joining Mets
The Mets have one of the best pitching staffs in the league, but the pitching isn’t coming from the pitchers. Enter Luis Torrens, a 28-year-old catcher with a powerful right arm. Even better, the Mets acquired him from the Yankees for cash only. “You can count on him to provide quality at-bats, but he also […]
Ron Darling rips Luis Severino for ‘inexcusable mistake’ by Mets
On Wednesday night, the Mets made the bad moments even worse. After Luis Severino allowed a tying single to the Nationals’ Juan Yepes in the top of the fourth inning of a game the Mets eventually won 6-2, the starting pitcher failed to cover home plate and catcher Francisco Alvarez, allowing another run to score […]
Luis Severino continues to roll for Mets even as innings mount
The last time Luis Severino pitched that many innings in the majors was in 2018, during his second All-Star season with the Yankees. And after allowing eight or more hits in three of his past four games, it’s fair to wonder if the strain is on Severino, who is in the midst of a resurgent […]
Luis Gil delivers ‘very encouraging’ Yankees start vs. Red Sox
Luis Gil’s dominance is back, albeit in a new form. The Yankees right-hander has produced the results that made him an ace, even if his form has begun to change, and the Yankees are hoping Gil can get back on track. The 26-year-old pitched his best game in a month on Sunday night, allowing just […]
Luis Gil’s dominant outing was silver lining for Yankees
The 27-time world champion Yankees are not usually a team that scores moral victories, and they usually shouldn’t be judged based on averages. But these are not normal times in the Bronx. Sure, the Yankees lost 3-0 to the rival Red Sox on Sunday night, again in front of a nearly sold-out Yankee Stadium and […]
Luis Torrens plays hero in Mets’ win over Pirates to snap skid
PITTSBURGH — Luis Torrens wouldn’t have been in the Mets’ starting lineup Saturday if Francisco Alvarez had been healthy, but the team’s starting catcher was still in pain. In a scary moment the night before, Alvarez was hit in the left elbow by a 99 mph fastball from Paul Skenes. Luis Torrens’ three-run double sealed […]
Reds’ Jonathan India, Angels’ Luis Rengifo could be Yankees fits
The Yankees are investing in their pitching, especially their relief pitchers, but there are only two pitchers who are position-appropriate — Jonathan India of the Reds and Luis Rengifo of the Angels — and it’s pretty questionable whether either of them can play anywhere in the infield. India is in top form and his leadership […]
Yankees giving Luis Gil another start to sort struggles out
Over the course of three starts, Luis Gil went from being a candidate for the American League All-Star Game to being questioned about whether he would remain in the Yankees’ starting rotation. While he obviously won’t be a starter in this month’s All-Star Game in Texas, manager Aaron Boone confirmed Wednesday that the 26-year-old will […]
Luis Gil getting chance to shake off Yankees struggles vs. Reds
Just over two weeks ago, Luis Gil was posting a 2.03 ERA and was on the radar as a candidate heading into the All-Star Game later this month in Arlington, Texas. Then, against the Orioles, the right-hander suffered a major blunder, giving up seven runs while striking out just four batters. And rather than calm […]
Yankees’ Luis Gill rocked by Mets in second-straight concerning outing
What Yankees pitching coach Matt Blake deemed a “momentary concern” for Luis Gil following last week’s game against the Orioles may not be so simple. The Yankees’ incredible performance couldn’t contain the Mets’ hot batting lineup, and the Bombers were soundly defeated in a two-game Subway Series at Citi Field, winning 12-2. Gill pitched 4 […]
