The Wild Card game is coming (barring something happening that I'm not even going to say but kinda just said). People have been having the conversation for a month now. Some crazy folk have been having it for a couple months. It's all anyone can talk about. 

I've been dodging the conversation for a while but now it's time to give my full thoughts. 

The pros and cons of each starting pitcher getting the ball in the wild-card game. Here we go...

Tanaka

Pros: He's been our best pitcher since the all-star break. His sinker, when right, is a big game pitch that leads to strikeouts and groundouts. Tanaka loves the big moment and you can expect him to come to task. He's been on the team for a while and will be here for a couple more years, so in a sense, you can say he's put in his time and has earned the right to take on this responsibility and trust from the organization. 

Cons: If he doesn't get the job done he may spiral into a severe depression or beat himself up in the clubhouse Liar Liar style. 

Sonny Gray

Pros: The entire fanbase would be unified in its disgust, disbelief and anger by the decision. It would be a blast for everyone to finally be on the exact same page. 

Cons: He has disappointed us all season and would most likely disappoint us again.

JA Happ

Pros: He's been as stable as stable comes since donning the pinstripes. A professional pitcher who goes out there with a plan and executes it. 

Cons: His stuff doesn't lend itself to complete shut down games as much as Tanaka's can. He's a temporary player that is passing through.

CC Sabathia

Pros: We'd get a lot of close-ups of sweat dripping and a lot of fun lip reading clips.

Cons: Almost everything else.

Severino

Pros: How good is your good? Well, Severino's good is the best good the Yankees have. 

Cons: Severino's good has vanished.

Lance Lynn

Pros: None. 

Cons: A lot.

There you have it. The best, most in-depth look you will see into the wild card decision.
