Even with five runs (three earned) allowed, he actually lowered his ERA on the season to 7.98.
That's the second-highest ERA of any pitcher that's thrown more than 60 innings this year.
Against the Braves, Severino managed to pitch for four innings, conceding a troubling five hits and allowing three earned runs. His performance was further marred by issuing two walks, although he did salvage five strikeouts.
Heated opinions erupt among Yankees’ fanbase over Severino’s showing against Braves

A recent face-off for the Yankees had all eyes on the beleaguered pitcher, Luis Severino. The encounter ignited a wave of impassioned opinions and emotions within the dedicated fan community. As the New York Yankees battled for supremacy, Severino’s performance on the field proved to be a catalyst for a spirited debate among supporters, magnified by the immediacy of social media.

Taking to Twitter, numerous members of the Pinstripes Nation wasted no time in voicing their disapproval of Severino’s display. One disgruntled fan, R.J. Carbone, succinctly captured the collective concern that managerial decisions might be negatively influencing the team’s morale.
Feel very bad for Luis Severino. The Yankees are wrong for embarrassing him like this. Really messed up. The kids confidence was shot an entire month ago. They don’t care. Stubborn old men running the team.

The statistical dimension of the debate gained substantial traction as Zach Braziller, another avid supporter, unveiled a predictive analysis. His projection hinted at a downward spiral in the Yankees’ performance, suggesting a record of 3-10 in the aftermath of Severino’s last 13 appearances. This data-driven perspective shed light on how Severino’s struggles were casting a shadow over the team’s overall performance.
Luis Severino's day is done. Barring a significant rally, #yankees will fall to 3-10 in his last 13 appearances.

In contrast, Anthony Carlo openly questioned the wisdom of fielding Severino in the first place. Carlo’s skepticism seemed to stem from a personal bias, perhaps reflecting a contentious relationship with the Yankees’ management and a history of critical viewpoints.
Who’s brilliant idea was it to start Severino. Personally I love it I hate the Yankees

In a twist that underscored the pervasive influence of social media, a user named DBK humorously ridiculed Luis Severino, adding a layer of irony to the discourse.
Lol I would let Severino pitch until we’re down by 11, bring in IKF to pitch the rest of the game. Bullpen is saved. Who gives a Fuck anymore. None of this is real anyway. #yankees

As the Yankees continue their journey through the season, questions about Severino’s struggles with the team arise. It will likely take more time to determine whether he will be a crucial piece for the future, or if the Yankees should consider re-signing him sooner.
