In the season's first month and a half, the Yankees' bullpen has withstood injuries, underperformance, and overuse. And, despite it all, they've come through with the best reliever ERA in baseball entering play on Saturday (2.21).
Holmes is just the fourth Yankee reliever this century to make it through his first 17 appearances without allowing an earned run. You don't need advanced analytics to tell you that Holmes is absolutely shoving right now.
As long as he keeps performing like this, ninth innings will be as stress-free as they possibly can.
While the slambio has largely remained effective, Hamilton's sinker has been getting crushed to the tune of a .500 batting aver.
