Through the last turn around the rotation, the Yankees’ starting staff has been virtually spotless, putting up some of their best performances of the year in succession, and going deep into games. Over the last five contests (prior to Sunday), the quickest any of the bomber’s starters have been yanked was after seven full innings, and the most runs given up by any of them, has been a whopping total of one.
Sprinkle in a few perfect game bids, and you’ve got yourself a truly spectacular run. There is, as you might suspect, great value in starters going deep into games, especially when they’re carving up opposing lineups.
