Yanks pen rounding into form

[jacksonianmarch]

Now that our offense has gone hit or miss and our rotation has faltered, it bears keeping in mind the fact that our bullpen has really improved.

 

Thus far in August...

 

Boone Logan has thrown 7.1IP, allowing 0ER, striking out 8 and allowing only 5 runners

 

Kerry Wood has thrown 11.2IP, allowing only 1ER and striking out 15. His problem comes with the walk (7)

 

Joba Chamberlain has thrown 10.1IP, allowing only 1ER and striking out 6. He's allowed only 8 baserunners in that time

 

David Robertson has thrown 9IP, allowing only 1ER, striking out 12 and allowing 11 runners

 

Mariano Rivera has thrown 7IP, allowing 2ER, K'ing only 2 and allowing 9 runners

 

Even the long men havent been too bad, at 9ER in 20.2IP

 

Overall, the Yankee pen has really flourished as the season has gone along. Robertson has seen his FB and curve come back. Chamberlain has seen his FB location and life return. And Wood has his arm angle raised which has given him more life on the heat and more break on the curve

if they only had an effective bullpen before their rotation imploded, they'd have a lead in the division
