Starters Start

Through twenty games last season, the Yankees used nine different starting pitchers and their starters owned a 5.77 ERA. The team's record was 8-12. The Yankees used six starters, but only because they didn't want to waste Ian Kennedy in a game that might be rained out. The starters ERA is 5.33, but it's a stable rotation. I don't think anyone should be panicking yet.

I think some fans expect 1998 every year.

In 5 of their last 7 innings Hughes and Kennedy haven't made it out of the 4th inning - that'll kill your pen

If Girardi and Cashman make their decisions based on seven innings, they should be fired immediately.

God bless you Dave Pinto...any chance of you taking over every sports radio spot in New York for the rest of the year?

No?

Guess it's the Oldies Station for me then.

Even in 1998, the Yankees started the season 0-3.
