All the more reason that the Yankees did NOT need to add a new starting pitcher from outside their organization during the last off season. Luis Gil, in effect, was that new addition, and the Yankees had him all along in their organization, since acquiring him when he was in the lowest part of the Minnesota Twins minor league system, and nurturing him through their own minor league system.

Eh, its just another contrived factoid that people like to toss around. Giving up 2 runs in 5 innings is not that great a pitching performance. It equates to a 3.60 ERA. Not bad but not that noteworthy.

And the reason I think its cherry picking is that <= 2 runs is an arbitrary number, How do we know there weren't teams that allowed 2.1 or 2.2 runs in 5 or more innings for 16 or more straight starts. Or teams that allowed <= 2 runs in 5 more innings in 13 or 14 straight starts? I'd like to see the data before buying into the Yankees' PR announcement.
