PrintWorlds will collide as Joba Chamberlain starts a baseball game!He'll only go about two innings (or 35 pitches), but that's what is expected at this point. Opposing him will be Jeremy Hellickson, the fifth best pitching prospect in baseball.
Phil Hughes will pitch after Joba departs.
UPDATE - It'll start with Hughes vs. David Price, then Joba vs. Hellickson. (Though it's more like Hughes vs. Joba...)
Game time is 1:05 p.m. YES and MLBN will be broadcasting the fun.
The live boxscore is here.
- Post-game notes -
Ironically, the two frontrunners for the fifth spot in the rotation pitched considerably worse than the three dark horses did on Wednesday. Hughes pitched two innings; he gave up a walk and a homer (though in his defense, it was wind-aided). Joba was terrible, no question about it: 1.1 ip, 3 h, 3 bb, 5 er (33 pitches, 14 strikes). Girardi defended him by saying he'd had the flu and had left practice early the previous t two days.
Frankie and Robbie had two hits apiece.Kei Igawa actually pitched well (1.2 perfect innings, 2 k) and has an outside shot of making the bullpen.
The Yanks made a game of it late, pulling within 8-7, but then Tampa scored three in the eighth and eventually won 12-7.

That picture might be telling....
Joba is throwing what appears to be a circle change…
This sticker is dangerous and inconvenient, but I do love Fig Newtons.
Cervelli will decide his own role on the team
and will inform Girardi in due course.

Chamberlain to Trenton
- starter question is resolved.

We're in trouble when Igawa is our best pitcher
But then again, I think the Rays’ got tired out after so many hits off of Joba.
I just got back online and saw the score.....
Holy Moley

if i hadnt seen the score myself
i would have thought that was a typo…
God thing spring training numbers dont mean anything right…… right?
Joba Time!
Stay thirsty my friend….in the bullpen.
Joba junk ...
I know it’s his first time out, but would they send him down? Mitre, Gaudin, Hughes, even Park are all in the running for the 5th spot. If Joba crashes and burns would they jettison him to Scranton?

No, they really aren't
Park? Have you actually been reading the reports that say Park is a full-time reliever?
After this one spring training game, the first of the year.
I proclaim Joba’s career over. A definitive conclusion is made.
Master of the squeegee
Not really ...
Joba was garbage much of last season. Oh, when he was good he was good, but there was zero consistency. Even though this was his first outting, it looks to be much the same as last season. I think the question is a legitimate one.

Montero's defense...
I dunno about you guys, but it looks fine… With all the nay-saying about it, I was expecting him to be passing tons of balls and to look lost back there, but he looks fine. He’s no worse than Posada…
what i'd
really like to see is Montero catch someone like Burnett. that would give us a better gauge on his defensive progression.
Burnett to Montero
I agree, this sounds like a good crash course for the kid. Lets see if Joe does it this spring.

And..
When one of our three great acquisitions for Sheff throws a 54 footer with the bases loaded, watched a little of the game. To recount that was Kevin Wheelan I was talking about, three years removed from a trade, and looked like he had never been on a mound before.
Humberto "where have you gone Sanchez is well, gone. "Lo and behold, I can’t remember the third pitcher, just saying, pretty sad to get no value at all from a trade….
Wish I lived in NY to see these games
But I’m not paying $30 to watch spring training, I’ll resubsribe when the regular season starts.
"We're only going to score 17 points?"
Phil Hughes will pitch after Joba departs..
Actually the order was reversed, but it’s spring training for everybody right.
Ouch
Joba, I hope this was just a result of the flu. Thats all I have to say.
Also, Kei Igawa has NO chance, I repeat, NO chance, of making the team. I don’t care how good a spring he has. He’s not pitching in the major leagues unless he’s stellar in the minors and the Yankees suffer huge amounts of injuries. Never mention Igawa as a possible candidate (I really hate the guy, what a wasted signing)
Kei Igawa?
U mean the richest man in the Scranton Wilkes-Barre metro area? I wonder if he rides the team bus to their away games or just drives 1 of his 7 Ferraris. What do u guys think?
