As I was saying about the Yankees...they just rattled off three victories in four games over Detroit despite facing a triad of Cy Young winners and the AL wins leader.
Keep that in mind this fall when some monkey claiming to be a sports expert or "analyst" or "insider" proposes that Team A can't win a five- or seven-game series against Team B because Team B has dominant starting pitching.
Max Scherzer has started 23 games. He's not 23-0; he's 13-4.
David Price has started 24 games. He's not 24-0; he's 11-8.
Jon Lester has started 22 games. He's not 22-0; he's 11-7.
Everyone can be beat. And has been.
And the Yankees have scuffled around .500 all year, but they've won four of their last five, which would be enough to capture a playoff series.
So counting out any squad that can sneak into the post-season is a fool's errand.
Thanks, Yanks, for that point, made in the previous post. Now, go back to losing.
