Well, it’s no secret that the story of the New York Yankees pitching rotation is how absolutely terrible former Cy Young finalist Sonny Gray has been. The extremely frustrating thing about it is that he’s demonstrated his fantastic stuff and should be able to get outs with no problem.
So fans, myself included, started desperately searching for a reason that a should-be ace was pitching like a long reliever for the Staten Island Yankees. We fans found that excuse in shaky split numbers between starts in which Gray pitches to Gary Sanchez and starts in which he pitches to Austin Romine.
