...or all the starters can just do what Verlander did last night, lol. The Bull Pen is still an issue. Some were scratching their heads why that wasnt addressed more specifically...maybe it still will be. Starters are very solid, backend of the Pen is very solid, its that middle and long relief that scares me. Somebody needs to step up and in a big way.

10 K's for Porcello. He's been great this season. I like how the starters are going deep lately. Bull Pen is sleeping.

rod, during yesterday's game, was making a pretty strong case for sanchez moving to the bullpen for long relief over porcello, saying that porcello pitches to a lot of contact, while sanchez can come in and strike someone out. too many good starters is a great dilemna to have.

Yankee bullpen somehow comes through after getting a workout the night before in Boston. Frigid cold.
