PREGAME NOTES:
- As Amato noted earlier, David Robertson has been promoted to the Bronx. His minor league numbers have always been outstanding and his strikeout totals are impressive.
- To make room for Robertson, Kei Igawa was sent packing back to Scranton. Boo-ya!
- Chad Jennings reports that Ross Ohlendorf will be placed in the Scranton starting rotation in order to keep him on a set schedule. They would aso like to see him use his developing splitter more often. Keep in mind, though, the Yanks still view Ohlendorf as a reliever.
- Bobby Abreu is starting to catch fire hitting .500 (10 for 20) /.583 / .900 over his last 5 games.
- Robinson Cano is hitting .444 (8 for 18) / .421 /.889 over his last 4 games.
- Andy Pettitte is a lifetime 7-4, 3.48 ERA, 1.23 WHIP in 17 starts against the Mets. He is 3-0, 0.43 ERA, 0.86 WHIP over his last 3 starts and has essentially lowered his ERA a full run during that span (4.99 to 4.04).
- Johan Santana is a lifetime 4-0, 2.98 ERA, 1.24 WHIP in 9 games (6 starts) against the Yanks.
- Mets' hitters vs. Pettitte can be viewed here. Yanks' hitters vs. Santana can be viewed here.

The best part
of calling Igawa up and sending him down again?
I guarantee we won’t see him again for at least 10 days.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Not surprisngly...
I’m limited to the Cubs/Sox game. At least Mark Grace is the color man. Always was a big fan of him during his playing days.
Pete Abe has a few player updates....
Hideki Matsui: The Yankees admitted that surgery was a possibility. "That would be the last option but we can’t rule it out," Brian Cashman said. He had his knee drained again.
Ian Kennedy: Pitching today for Class A Tampa.
Phil Hughes: Two or three weeks away from getting in a game. "He’ll be back this season but I can’t say it’ll be on the major-league level," Cashman said.
Brian Bruney: Throwing a BP on Tuesday. First game will be 2-3 days after that.
Chris Britton: Pitching in a rehab game on Tuesday.
From the radio broadcast, a couple changes in the rotation:
Rasner Sunday
Moose Monday
Joba Tuesday
Ponson Wednesday/ Giese in the pen
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
I wonder if Cox isn't too far behind Robertson
because there’s really no need for Hawkins with Giese as the long man again.
Despite what Newman said, I think we’ll see Melancon this season.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
It's raining, thanks...
I’m sling boxing it from a NY friend…Damn black out…
jscape..
How is Horne and Marquez doing? I know they got hurt…Too bad or they would have been up. And what about Humberto?
Horne is rounding into shape.
Marquez has been so awful he’s not an option.
Newman said that Humberto will spend most of the season building up arm strength in single A.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
We’d be talking about Horne going to the bullpen if IPK and Hughes weren’t hurt and ineffective.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
No doubt
He went more than a month without pitching at all.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
I listened to WFAN for a short time this afternoon
with Sweeny Murti and Jon Heyman co-anchoring for awhile.
I’m a big fan of Sweeny but I think Heyman is full of BS quite often. He still thinks Cashman may very well pull the trigger on a major deal in the next month when all signs clearly point in the opposite direction.
Abreu
was a major deal. I don’t see a guy like that out there, but I think Cash is one of the best traders in the game, so we’ll see soon.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
It was a major deal
because he was a big name. But that was also a salary dump and the Yanks gave up virtually nothing in return.
That clearly wouldn’t be the case with Sabathia.
Agreed
Cashman seems very good at reading the market, figuring out what other teams will offer, and not offering too much.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
I am always surprised by what
GMs do. Abreu was a salary dump, and a footnote to the Corey Lidle trade.
Crowds are won and lost and won again, but our hearts beat for the diehards.

I am excited to see Robertson
I hope he gets in a game soon. Remember Britton coming and going without pitching
A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)
Robertson is skinny. He’ll get a shot.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
So yoou expect ponson to not get much shot?

Starters are different
Being fat makes a starter ‘durable’.
And believe me, Ponson will be gone very soon.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Do you cover the Yankees every day? :)
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
So we've seen
Jeter start 60 games this season- do we think his offseason workouts have improved his range?
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Do the ratings which made you so critical look different?
He looks the same to me.

I haven’t looked yet.
FRAA UZR
2007 -3 -27
2008 -13 -10
FRAA (Fielding Runs Above Average) is a rate stat, so it should stay the same unless Jeter gets better or worse.
UZR (Ultimate Zone Rating) is a counting stat, so we expect the negatives to accumulate as the season progresses.
There are a couple other metrics out there, but they tend to not share their data until after the season.
The games I’ve been at, he’s seemed the same.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Good to see Abreu hanging in there against Santana
He’s definitely coming out of his funk. He hadn’t been taking pitches this season like he normally does.
and 27 this inning.
A very high stress inning, even for 2 runs and a man on second.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Damn it Robbie
He’s thrown 4+ pitches to 4 of 5 hitters, and you swing at the first pitch?
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
I just wish
we had the flexibility to sit him and Melky for a pair of games.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Absolutely....
I’ve wanted some competition for Melky for awhile, but I’d like to see it happen with Cano too. Problem with that is there are no options in the minors to give Cano a push.
That was HUGE
Because Wright has always killed Pettitte. I’d rather see him leadoff the next inning.
Wow
When was the last time you saw a balk called?
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
I never doubted Robbie
I certainly wasn’t sitting here wishing that anyone else in the lineup was at the plate.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Here's another reason why I'd rather have Gardner in the lineup
It would be nice to have a #9 hitter (or #8 in NL yards) who consistently takes pitches instead of having two hitters at the bottom of the order who don’t.
At least having Gardner would offset that.
But
Girardi would probably bat him leadoff, cause all speedy centerfielders bat leadoff.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
True
Damon won’t get as many days off with Matsui on the DL.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Thankfully
that’s the end of Santana.
Unfortunately, it’s probably the end of Pettitte.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
This delay definitely helps the Mets
Santana was coming out anyways and Pettitte’s pitch count was still in good shape at 73.
No way does Robertson enter this game unless it gets out of hand.
I'm not sure about that
6
7 Farnsworth
8 Veras
9 Rivera
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
Girardi isn't going to have the kid make his debut
against the heart of the order in a 2-run game against the Mets. Too much pressure to put on him in his debut.
Well
I think Mexican sounds good tonight. I’ll catch you guys after the delay.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
i know its a little late
but i was trying to figure out yesterday what was more embarrassing:
A) giving up 9 RBI to carlos delgado
B) getting shutout for six innings by sidney ponson
as ridiculous as it sounds, i think with the way this season has gone so far, option A wins.
Ewing with the step...YES! and the foul!

this has been a strange series...
delgado’s record day, ponson’s solid start, now farnsworth not only throws a scoreless 8th to protect a one run lead but he doesn’t even allow a base-runner.
what’s next? andy phillips walk-off HR?

I can't see the game
but from what I understand, it took a great play by Damon on Wright to get him out.
Nonetheless, I’ll take it.
I can't see it either
I was condemned to watch the Sox/Cubs game in LA – doesn’t Fox realize there are more New Yorkers on the left coast?
alright
nothing like watching one of my top five most hated players ever going down looking. i think that officially brings trot’s career BA vs. the Yankees down to .728.
by Clutch like Leyritz on Jun 28, 2008 8:15 PM EDT reply actions
the top five of the unheralded guys
people like Varitek, Chuck Finley, etc.
i have Edgar Martinez, Manny, etc. on a different list.
