With all the attention paid to how potent the offense has been recently, versus how crappy the bullpen has been, has anyone noticed that the starting rotation has been pretty good for a while now? The majority of starts appear to have been quality, and starters have taken the loss in only 3 of the last 25 games, meaning even in the less good starts, they've kept the team in it. No one appears to be a future ace, but it seems like the seeds of a solid back-end with some depth.

haven't noticed,tbh. Good observation.

Until Sunday, Rogers looked very good.
