Game 141: Sweep?

PrintTampa Bay Rays at New York Yankees, Sep 9, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
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).

AGAIN!!!
Joba on ESPN. WTF!
Hopefully he goes out and deals like his last time vs. the Rays.
What the f$%k is the internet?
B.J. Upton's batting last?
below Dioner Navarro? Wow, Upton must be having an awful year if he’s below Navarro!
Any word on how long Joba's leash is today?
provided he doesn’t tighten it of course?

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!
+1
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
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!
i know. do they understand that if it aint broke dont fix it. your just going to f*** it up!!!

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.
What the f$%k is the internet?
if the Yankees can score a pile of runs..quick.. maybe Joba can be left
out there to work stuff out.
just curios
whens the last time joba did a fist pump?
whats a signature
by GTWYankee on Sep 9, 2009 7:24 PM EDT via mobile reply actions
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.
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.
Yeah I mean he only struck out the side
Dude. Calm the eff down.
by HappyLuckyGoldenDragonNumber1! on Sep 9, 2009 7:26 PM EDT up reply actions
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”
i was hoping boston would lose today
but then i remembered their playing the O’s…
'would' is a futuristic term
from what i last learned in elementary school. they’re playing right now.
yeah dont think thats going to happen

don't underestimate the Orioles
The thing I remember about them is a 10 run comeback against a against a certain team whos entire infield thought it was funny when they forgot the number of outs
Actually it read
.: I’ll be entering the bullpen later.
Whatever that means ;)
What the f$%k is the internet?
for safety reasons hide under the desk
lost all of its charisma now but fuck it
Facial LaFleur, total facial.
I think I definitely lose a style point for the first one though
you don’t break out Howard Dean unless you really mean it.

if that pitch was a little more over the plate
it would have landed in Monument park. Key word there is “if”.
yea...
As long as the game is close (looking at YOU Joba…), doesn’t matter. We got this.
What the f$%k is the internet?
mike kays a pansy
he wont be here in 1000 years. i sure will be!
I know we're down on Joba right now
but it seems like he got a little mustard back on his fastball.
Not locating it terribly well, but that’s just wanting everything.
Facial LaFleur, total facial.
he's angry I think
everyone can throw harder when they are angry. Can’t blame him for being angry either. Nobody likes to give up runs.
ive just realized
ive never seen joba on YES network before…its always ESPN.
I have to go and wrestle the bear that is college fraternaties
and have to miss the rest of the game.
Keep the faith and feel free to rally pic as needed.

im awful at calling these things
like Cano w/runners in scoring position! I’m bound to get lucky sometimes.
don't look now....
Joba’s dealing.
….and if you missed it, I think he’s done.
What the f$%k is the internet?
idiotic?
They said they was doing it…and going along with it.
I don;t know how much he’s helping the team, but the idea is to help Joba. Joba’s on the innings limit and they are controling it.
As for idiotic….Ace says your wrong.
What the f$%k is the internet?
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.
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
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$%k is the internet?
Yeah only give him 3 innings
So he overthrows all three innings and taxes his arm even worse
by HappyLuckyGoldenDragonNumber1! on Sep 9, 2009 8:23 PM EDT up reply actions
Its obvious
He keeps hitting mid 90 fastballs all over the place. He is over throwing and he has no control.
by HappyLuckyGoldenDragonNumber1! on Sep 9, 2009 8:26 PM EDT up reply actions
?
I saw less control with the 91-93 mph..he wasn’t locating out the gate.
In the 2nd and 3rd he looked like the Joba post ASB, hitting 95 and had the 87 mph slider, hitting all sorts of spots.
95 is not overthrowing for Joba…he was doing that at 110 pitches in the 7th innings in those starts he went that long.
What the f$%k is the internet?
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.
by HappyLuckyGoldenDragonNumber1! on Sep 9, 2009 8:30 PM EDT up reply actions
its like they're developing a Ramiro Mendoza
or at least paraphrasing Orel Hershiser .
record for what?
Energy drinks consumed between innings?
by HappyLuckyGoldenDragonNumber1! on Sep 9, 2009 8:24 PM EDT up reply actions
Why not?
Yeah it’s easy to question it now that he’s 0-2
by Rumplestiltskin02 on Sep 9, 2009 8:29 PM EDT up reply actions
not really...
you only say that cuz melky got more playing time.
I think of all the Yankee players of all time
The Yankee I would want to go out drinking with and get filthy drunk with is
1) Cone
2) Mantle
3) Swisher
4) Billy Martin
by HappyLuckyGoldenDragonNumber1! on Sep 9, 2009 8:30 PM EDT reply actions
I think Id add David Wells in there....
then again, he’d probably drink us all under the table.
What the f$%k is the internet?
ESPN blacked out by me
Any radio stations broadcasting the game online?

I'm assuming we're just waiting for two things to happen b4 we start scoring
Jeter tying Lou
and Rays Failpen coming in
aite. lets get down to business.
abomb time. and then matsui doubles and swish walks. u rdy?
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
If I's known I was going to live so long, I'd have taken better care of myself. Casey
yeah it goes to show
you should not trade for half year rentals
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$%k is the internet?
absolutely
we would really be in trouble if we didn’t get Tex this year, especially if he went to the Red Sux.
Thanx Robbie.
Is there any doubt Cano’s hitting the game winner tonight?
What the f$%k is the internet?
What I would like
is Jeter hitting the game winner while breaking the record at the same time. That would be something
who went 5 innings 2 runs
or better then joba
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.
well...
Albala-AHOLE.
So much for keeping it close….
then again, the suck Yankee pitchers have a knack for doing good when the game is this close.
What the f$%k is the internet?
when you said "so much for keeping it close"
i thought espn was on a delay and albala-a-hole gave up a hr. that scared me

If I's known I was going to live so long, I'd have taken better care of myself. Casey
He HAS sucked in mop up roles...
and made us go to pitchers that we weren’t supposed to go to.
But he has Bruneyitis, in close games like this he’s pretty good.
What the f$%k is the internet?
lots of worse pitchers out there
If I's known I was going to live so long, I'd have taken better care of myself. Casey
There you go Jeter

Is Jscape at the game?

I should have gone to the game
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.
Kinda amazing how its really setting up for the 9th
and Jeet to get Pie with his #2722 isn’t it?

by swanny4eva on Sep 9, 2009 9:27 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Sorry Jeter's speech will always come in a distant second to Gehrigs
I liked Mantle’s on Mickey Mantle Day. I thought Jeter’s was a bit contrived.
Awesome Hall of Fame Player, Awful Interview.
Melky and Matsui give better interviews, and they dont even speak english.
If Niemann doesnt win Rookie of the Year, something is wrong
He is bringing it with a national audience watching.
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
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.
What the f$%k is the internet?
boston tied it back up
does anyone think baltimore will compete within 6 years?
they were in postseason position in 2005
remember? They were really good for over half a season, and in first place, and they fell apart. We know they’re capable. If they compete that would just make baseball more interesting.
yeah i remember
but it was the first half of the season. so it doesn’t really count.
not a chance as long as Angelos owns them
by grandpa grouse on Sep 9, 2009 9:34 PM EDT up reply actions
yes
i think if you give them that much time they will compete, assuming they don’t trade everyone to dump salary.
depends on if they decide to spend on someone....
They have a lot of young pitchers, a real nice OF for years to come….
But in order to compete in the East, they need to spend a bit.
What the f$%k is the internet?
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
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$%k is the internet?
Rose has 4256 hits.......
Jeter, 2722. That’s more than 1500 hits.
He’d have to have 200 hits a year to do around 8 years. He’s gonna tail off, but he’d still have to average 150+ hits for 10 years.
That’s a lot of hits…….
What the f$%k is the internet?
I really believe this will be his year in the playoffs
He has handled being left alone great thus far.
1st and 3rd, no one out.
Thank you pitch counts, thank you Mats, and thank you failpen.
NOW DO WHAT JERY HAIRSTON DO, and tie this game.
Setting up you know what in the bottom of the 9th
What the f$%k is the internet?
Joe Madden
What’s up with his Poo-colored head and his “jizz on my school girl glasses” glasses?
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.
by long time listener on Sep 9, 2009 9:47 PM EDT reply actions
it could happen
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
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.
