DON'T LOOK NOW, BUT SONNY GRAY IS GOOD

Sonny Gray was good.  In fact, the Yankees won against the Mets. And now, when you look at Sonny Gray, something significant has happened, and the YES Network tweeted it out late yesterday:

"Sonny Gray's last two starts: 2-0, 1.59 ERA, 14K"

Now for you and I that is great and all, BUT will it stick?  The biggest problem with Sonny Gray is that he is mad inconsistent and each time he's out there... you never know what you're gonna get.

There have been calls to trade Sonny Gray... calls to bench him, the send him down.  That's not gonna happen, folks.  I really don't think it will.  Now look... if Sonny can stay in this zone he's in right now, we have something.  But if he starts to unravel again, we'll need to have an emergency meeting with Cashman or something.

Here's alittle on what went down in yesterday's game:

"It had been a while since Sonny Gray walked off the field to cheers in the Bronx, but on Saturday afternoon the 47,102 fans in attendance handed the Yankees' starter a loud ovation as he made his way from the rubber to the dugout after striking out Asdrubal Cabrera with two runners on to end the fifth inning. The right-hander came out to face three more batters in the sixth before ending his afternoon after 5 1/3 solid frames, permitting three runs (two earned) on three hits in the Yankees' 7-6 victory over the Mets at Yankee Stadium."

I love the way Mandy Bell at MLB.com encapsulated that.  It was really a great display, and Gray did good.  With the fans behind him, let's hope he can keep it up.  I am not that hopeful, especially with the trade deadline coming.  We will see though.

For now...Gray's doing the job.  I appreciate that. Let's keep going.
