Raise you hand if you expected this in April

CC 7 strong! Of course bullpen without Betances and Chapman all but gives it away.
The SP has been better than expected.
And you still have some useful arms in the pen.
Plus some exceptional prospects on the way.
Yanks future is bright, assuming Tanaka stays and/or his arm doesn't explode.
I love the position the Yankees are in for the future anything they do on the field this year is a bonus, its more fun to watch them without any expectations, of course this streak their own helps. Romine and Torreyes, have filled in great for Sanchez and Didi, Bird appears to have broken out of his slump. Starting pitching is gonna be key for this year and the future as well, potentially could have a great starting 4 and Adams as the 5th guy in the rotation (a lot better then having a journey man scrub as a 5th guy like we had in the past). The options the Yankees have called up already are a lot better then the last couple of years.

Its Montgomery not Adams, another solid start from him pitching 6 1/3 innings.
They have another guy in AAA...Dietrich Enns who looks like a promising call-up if a starter goes down.Yeah, Mont, if he can keep that up is a huge boon for the yanks.
Especially with Kap's injuries basically keeping him out of the big leagues for now.
Demise? Going into this season is the best I've felt about the Yankees in like a decade.Rumors of the Yankees demise appear to be incorrect. Tanaka-san with a 3 hit shut out, in Fenway... Wow!
But it is April, and you don't win anything in April last I checked.
Indeed. Any talk of the Yankees "demise" should have gone by the wayside at the midpoint last year when they cashed in a few of their assets for top minor league talent. And then Sanchez flourish to end the season was just a prelude to the future to come.Demise? Going into this season is the best I've felt about the Yankees in like a decade.
Starting pitching and timely hitting is why we're 15-7.And to think, they have the best record in baseball AND the best run differential, Bird is still trying to come out of his funk, and Sanchez has not even been a factor yet. Ooof.
Double Ooof!And to think, they have the best record in baseball AND the best run differential, Bird is still trying to come out of his funk, and Sanchez has not even been a factor yet. Ooof.
