New York Yankees starter Masahiro Tanaka is finding a way to get footing in 2017. Sadly, New York is fed up with him. He better have a good outing tomorrow, or else it’s time to call it quits on him.

New York Yankees ace, who are we kidding… New York Yankees awful excuse for a starter Masahiro Tanaka is scheduled to pitch tomorrow night in Oakland.

I, like many other Yankee fans, have had about enough of Tanaka. The guy has a good outing, then he sucks a few times in-a-row. It’s so brutal to watch.

Fans, players, and coaches never know what Tanaka is going to take the bump start after start.

I can’t predict which mask of Tanaka will come on tomorrow, but he better be freaking fantastic. If he does his usual dance of giving up a big inning and leaving the game in the fourth inning, it’s time for him to say goodbye.

Yankee fans are all alike. There is no soft spot for anyone on the roster. If they suck, too bad, but it’s time to go. They’ve overstayed your welcome in the Bronx.

Tanaka is on the nerves of every fan of the Bronx Bombers, but the front office won’t do anything about it.

It’s the age old feeling teams get when they spend money on a player. They feel obligated to play him. That’s understandable, but when he does nothing but hurt, there’s nothing that should keep him around.

I really do hope Tanaka shuts me up. I hope he goes out, pitches lights out, and turns this season around. I’d love to see this team with a true ace, but we just haven’t had one all year.

Tanaka needs tomorrow night to get himself on track, but if he doesn’t, a lot of people will want him gone.
