Game 141: Sweep?

Tampa Bay Rays at New York Yankees, Sep 9, 2009 7:05 PM EDT



Next Game

Tampa Bay Rays
@ New York Yankees

Wednesday, Sep 9, 2009, 7:05 PM EDT
Yankee Stadium

Jeff Niemann vs Joba Chamberlain

Mostly cloudy,rain. Winds blowing in from left field at 10-20 m.p.h. Game time temperature around 65.

Complete Coverage >


The Yanks have a chance for the four-game sweep as Joba Chamberlain takes the hill.

Will he go more than three innings tonight? After the new Joba Rules were instituted, in which he would build his pitch count back up, he's thrown 35 and 59 pitches (respectively) in two starts since, but has only managed three innings each time.

If his limit was 60 last time, he should be allowed to go about 80-85 pitches tonight.

The good news is that in Joba's two career starts against Tampa, he's looked like the potential ace he might be one day: 14 ip, 3 er, 8 h, 3 bb, 9 k.

This will be Jeff Niemann's second career start against the Bombers. Control was his problem in the first game (back in May) when he lasted just 3.2 innings and walked four (with two earned runs).

Typical Joba

what happened to the Joba of after the All-Star Break? Then the Yankees start messing with him and he sucks! And idea to the Yankees? LET HIM PITCH!

They fucked him up. I don’t understand these 3 inning games they make no fucking sense. He was on fire after the break.

by Yankz09 on Sep 9, 2009 7:20 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions   0 recs

another thing I don't understand

if they’re only letting him go 3 innings, then why doesn’t Joba dial it up? If you’re not throwing a real start, then blow it by them at 97 miles an hour! Then, he might be able to avoid giving up runs during his short time pitching. If he’s only going 3 innings, then at least don’t give up 2-3 runs a start!

they screwed him up from the beginning....

starting him off in the rotation and not limiting him early on made this a reality now. They had him on the limit to begin with, so the fact he wasn’t on the leash to start off with, made it a ticking time bomb.

Second start after the break

against Oakland I believe. Unless you count that mini fist pump in his start against the Red Sox.

There it is

well, he struck out the side. Thats also typical Joba. He started throwing harder as the inning went on.

by nyyrocks29 on Sep 9, 2009 7:25 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Joba is awful

Hes not a major league pitcher anymore… they need to stop this pathetic display he presents when he toes the rubber…he throws a 93 mph perfectly straight, what most batters would love to hit against, fast ball… he cant locate a slider to save his life and if he does its low 80s and teeeeeeeeeeeee off time is soon to happen.

by darms21 on Sep 9, 2009 7:25 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

ok relax

he just struck out the side. He hasn’t been pitching well of late, but we know he can pitch well and dominant in the majors. He’s in a pitching slump, which hasn’t been helped with the Yanks “inning limit”

They said they was doing it…and going along with it.

I don;t know how much he’s helping the team, but the idea is to help Joba. Joba’s on the innings limit and they are controling it.

As for idiotic….Ace says your wrong.

What the f$%k is the internet?

by FreeBradshaw on Sep 9, 2009 8:15 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

how do they expect him to give them anything in the playoffs if he's throwing just 3 innings a game?

I wouldn’t have a problem with it if they just did this a couple times and started to build him up, but this is the third straight start he’s gone just 3 innings! And just 55 pitches? He was starting to get on a roll, and they should have let him pitch.

I don’t have a problem with Ace, but Joba should still be in this game.

by nyyrocks29 on Sep 9, 2009 8:16 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I agree

He should have had 2 more innings or 85 pitches which ever came first

by HappyLuckyGoldenDragonNumber1! on Sep 9, 2009 8:20 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I have not much of a clue what they are doing...

but Id assume they’ll stretch him out in the next few starts. Id think he has at least 4 starts, maybe 5, before the playoffs begin.

Remember, the other options were completely shut him down or continue with the once every 10 days thing (skip start).

I don’t like it, it looks dumb and is frustrating. But the idea is that he starts every 5 days while still controlling his innings.

No one really knows if its gonna work out. I think they should have done this in the beginning of the season….but what do I know.

What the f$%k is the internet?

by FreeBradshaw on Sep 9, 2009 8:20 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

So he overthrows all three innings and taxes his arm even worse

What the f$%k is the internet?

by FreeBradshaw on Sep 9, 2009 8:24 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Its obvious

He keeps hitting mid 90 fastballs all over the place. He is over throwing and he has no control.

by HappyLuckyGoldenDragonNumber1! on Sep 9, 2009 8:26 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

?

I saw less control with the 91-93 mph..he wasn’t locating out the gate.

In the 2nd and 3rd he looked like the Joba post ASB, hitting 95 and had the 87 mph slider, hitting all sorts of spots.

95 is not overthrowing for Joba…he was doing that at 110 pitches in the 7th innings in those starts he went that long.

What the f$%k is the internet?

by FreeBradshaw on Sep 9, 2009 8:28 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Well I guess its another OPINION disagreement

I think he is overthrowing knowing he has a strict inning limit and he wants to strike out every batter.

Anyone think

that Nady getting hurt was a blessing in disguise? I like Nady but I’m not sure he would do what Swisher has done this year. Swisher has more pop and is better at getting on base than Nady was.

Nady was a bad pickup

yeah it goes to show

you should not trade for half year rentals

by yankeechaser on Sep 9, 2009 9:03 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

we'll never know...

I for one liked Nady better, but the way Swisher has played this year it really must be a blessing.

Im glad he isn’t our starting 1B…so the real blessing was getting Tex and not trading Swish once we got Tex.

What the f$%k is the internet?

we would really be in trouble if we didn’t get Tex this year, especially if he went to the Red Sux.

another one of the old guys they gambled with?

Maybe they would be in better shape if they went out and got real pitchers instead of has beens. The has beens seem to be doing well in the NL though.

I never thought Jeter would get a 3 hit game today (what was I thinking)? I thought if he got one or two then I would go tomorrow! DAMN IT!!!!!!! Maybe if he doesn’t break it today I can go tomorrow to see him break it.

Next all-time Yankee record broken by Jeter?

(Based on yesterday’s totals)

R: Babe Ruth – 1,959 / DJ – 1,564

2B: Lou Gehrig – 534 / DJ – 436

SB: Rickey Henderson – 326 / DJ – 299

by BigSlim on Sep 9, 2009 9:31 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

All should be eventually....

He has 26 more to go on the SB (he had one today…), so next year if he continues this he could get that.

The others…..the 2B is at least 2 years away, and the R probably 4 or 5…that’s a lot of runs scored.

they were in postseason position in 2005

remember? They were really good for over half a season, and in first place, and they fell apart. We know they’re capable. If they compete that would just make baseball more interesting.

by grandpa grouse on Sep 9, 2009 9:34 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

yes

i think if you give them that much time they will compete, assuming they don’t trade everyone to dump salary.

by nyyrocks29 on Sep 9, 2009 9:33 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

depends on if they decide to spend on someone....

They have a lot of young pitchers, a real nice OF for years to come….

But in order to compete in the East, they need to spend a bit.

A shout out to Jeter here from Portland, OR.

I have been a Yankee fan since the 1950’s when we lived in Astoria, Oregon. I’ve seen a lot of Yankee history. Treasure this moment for Jeter. Yeah, it’s a big deal. Congratulations NY!!

by Rick C in Tigard on Sep 9, 2009 9:32 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

needs to play another 10 years....

probably change positions cuz SS takes a toll on an old man. He stays in much better shape than Rose tho, but I just can’t see him still doing this at 40+ as a SS.

I wouldn’t put it past him tho. But I don’t know if that’s his goal.

What the f$%k is the internet?

by FreeBradshaw on Sep 9, 2009 9:36 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Rose has 4256 hits.......

Jeter, 2722. That’s more than 1500 hits.

He’d have to have 200 hits a year to do around 8 years. He’s gonna tail off, but he’d still have to average 150+ hits for 10 years.

That’s a lot of hits…….

i hope your right!

We’ve seen him hit in the playoffs before. Remember in 2004 he absolutely destroyed the Twins in the postseason. We know he’s capable. And now he’s much more relaxed. This may very well be his year.

prediction

If Derek Jeter gets the game-winning hit, there will be a near riot at Yankee Stadium. If it’s a walk-off hit, they may have to call in the National Guard.

If they don’t score here, I would not put it past him to end this in the 9th and cause a (near) riot.

by long time listener on Sep 9, 2009 9:50 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

I should say

if Posada ties it, and Cervelli doesn’t drive on the go-ahead run (which is impossible), Jeter might start a riot.
