The Yankees are now 12 days into this 18 games in 18 days stretch, their longest stretch of games without an off-day this season, and so far things have gone really well. Yeah, they lost last night, but it was a close game and they’re still 10-2 in their last 12 games. Hard to complain about the way things have been going lately.
Not surprisingly, the Yankees have carried an eight-man bullpen during this 18 games in 18 days stretch, mostly because the starters weren’t throwing a ton of innings a few weeks ago and the Yankees didn’t want to overwork their bullpen.
