The starting pitching story is nothing new. They exceeded expectations early, then they really struggled, they didn’t trade for anyone, and now they’re somewhere in between. The Yankees just finished a nice run of games, which might have had some fans forgetting about the starting pitching woes considering they mostly did alright. The problem there is that those were games against bad teams. The Yankees aren’t going to see Baltimore or Toronto in the playoffs. They very well could see the likes of Minnesota, Cleveland, Houston, or even Boston and they haven’t pitched well against any of those teams.
