6-1 Blue Jays: Bullpen, lineup blow game for Burnett
by Travis G on Jul 2, 2010 5:11 PM EDT
in Game Recap
Email
PrintThe only positive to take from this tough loss were the 6.2 shutout innings from A.J. Burnett. He was locating his fastball with precision and showed decent enough command of the curveball to keep hitters honest.
Unfortunately, Joba looked much the way he has all year: no command, inconsistent velocity, falling behind hitters. In fact, he was lucky he conceded just one run - Brett Gardner made a spectacular leaping grab against the leftfield wall to rob Alex Gonzalez of extra-bases. Somehow, it just felt like Joba would let Toronto tie the game there.
Everything truly fell apart in the 11th. Dave Robertson and Chan Ho combined to let in five runs, ending any chance of a comeback.*
The hitters went 0-fer the day with RISP (0-8 to be exact), highlighted by coming up with nothing after loading the bases with none out in the third. Brett Cecil walked six Yankees, yet somehow escaped jam after jam. The only run scored on a sac-fly way back in the first. They failed to score in the next ten frames. Derek Jeter hasn't had an RBI in 15 games, the longest stretch of his career. The offense just hasn't been right for weeks now. They might score a bunch in one game, but will then look lost the next two. Since the eight-run game against Roy Halladay on June 15th, they've scored four runs or less in 11 of the 15 games since (with a 7-8 record).
What a way to start the weekend.
Play of the Game: Aaron Hill's two-out RBI single that tied the game in the eighth.
Comment of the Game: benshu, for an image (and the song it belongs to) that we need after a game like this.
*Not to make excuses, but D-Rob was... well, robbed of a pretty obvious strike. I was surprised Kay and Singleton didn't make more of it. Jarrett Hoffpaur was trying to bunt with runners on first and second, none out - so the count went to 1-1 instead of 0-2 (which would have prevented Hoffpaur from bunting), and who knows what would happen then. Here's the graph:
He ended up laying down a successful sac bunt, moving both runners over.

Joba is becoming another farnsworth if he keeps pitching liek this
my trade offer still stands we dress Joba up in a hughes jersey and trade him for cliff lee who can pitch the 8th
Not looking to Troll
But I wouldn’t jump to conclusions and say “Good AJ” is back.
This is the same BlueJays team that scored 6 runs in 4 games against Cleveland.
Our offense has been horrible since the last Yankee Series.

As bad as your Jays offense has been, AJ has been worse.
He needs at least 1 more start before we say “he’s back”, but this is promising.

Only one start

that's OK.
really, AJ has sucked against every and all comers lately. So just that the Blue Jays O sucked lately doesn’t really matter, they were certainly capable of coming back to life against him.
Just doesn’t matter. A good start from AJ is a good start from AJ. No excuses.

Wow, that was some soccer game
I was rooting for Uruguay because Suarez is one of my favorite players but damn that was some kinda game.
I feel bad for the guy who missed the PK in overtime.
Suarez did the right thing, he doesn’t use his hand and the game doesn’t even need a PK, game’s over. It feels cheap and it is in a way, but that’s the rule’s fault.

what manager in their right mind would call for an intentional walk to load the bases in extra innings especially with someone like robertson who can be erratic.
The one looking for a DP to end the inning.
"Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?"
by Gelatin on Jul 2, 2010 5:32 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
i always hated walking the bases loaded going for the DP
first requires a gb pitcher which d-rob isn’t and it also requires luck…ebtter off going for the SO, pop out , foul out or a Gb to the right side
Its one of those things that is a 50-50 shot for a manager.
if you don’t get the DP, you’re gonna have to deal with people complainong about it.
If it works, everyone loves the balls you have.
I liked the move.
"Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?"
by Gelatin on Jul 2, 2010 5:38 PM EDT via mobile up reply actions
its to get the force out at home.
see, in an extra inning game, the other team scores one run..they can win if they shut you out the next.
So you load the bases trying to get a force out at home.
KEEP LEE!!!
That too.
Anything in the infield saves the run from scoring.
The problem was CHoP couldn’t keep the ball in the infield. Let alone even pray for a DP.

To be fair,
We can’t expect a relief pitcher to be lights out when he’s put into an extra innings game with the bases loaded.
But, yeah, he did stink.
I still blame the offense as much as anyone.

Terrible
I was watching the gamecast of this stinker,and the second they put Joba in,I knew it was over.,.That’s not the feeling we should have when our bullpen(sans Mo) steps up to hold a lead.
Burnett pitched a great game;one you wish didn’t come a month too late.I’m sure he feels just as frustrated that the bats fell asleep when he decided Papa Eiland was paying enough attention for him to throw strikes. Alas,we are in first, we are still resilient, we are still the Yankees. We’ll get em tomorrow.
TheAddisfaction
Offense gets the brunt of the blame for this game.
Against the Blue Jays, more than 1 run should be scored, especially considering there was a bases loaded, no one out scenario that resulted in zero runs.
Though the “relief” pitching didn’t help, I’m sure they will be blamed entirely and “trade Joba” and “DFA CHOP” posts will come up shortly.
Bottomline: Which team still has the best record in baseball? The Yankees, and the sky is not falling because of one bad game.
Did you know Joe Morgan thinks Cano will win a batting title one day?
ehh to be fair using the best record in baseball isn't exactly a resurance
the team is slumping theres kinda no way around it, plus even with a good record it’s not like we’re miles head of the sox and rays…and the texas rangers are only .5 games off of being the best team. Just being realistic lol…we do have a betterteam tho but they just aren;t showing it now
You know, as bad as the Yankees feel right now
I guarantee they don’t feel as bad as the one guy from Ghana who blew that penalty kick.

Honestly.. that sucked.
I’m being completely serious when I say “DFA Park”. He’s atrocious. Robertson and Joba still have time to develop and fix their problems.. Park is a lost cause.
Gotta love watching them score 1 run again… awesome.
Hats off to Burnett for a great start
In Jeter, We trust.
when ace and mitre get back park and gaudin should be gone
and bring up logan that guy i trust more than park or gaudin
Yeah im also done with Park
and I think Robertson has fixed his problems, he had only a 1.00 ERA in June, I just think he pitched longer than he should today, because the first inning he did perfectly fine, it was the second inning where he sucked
well joba blew it, d-rob got shook, mo was mo and chop was chop

That AJ really turned it on. The bases loaded with nobody out and the #4-5-6 hitters coming up. Every pitcher other than Mo and AJ were wrose than awful. 0-8 with RISP. This is really sad. Won’t happen every day, we all know. But this kind of stuff reminds me of two years ago when they were just plain listless.

We have nobody – and I mean nobody – to blame other than the Yankee management – any and all of them – who messed up this poor kid’s brain so badly that he still doesn’t know which way to turn. I’m sure he dreads every pitch as he fears their retaliation to something else they want him to do. A real shame. Until he leaves the Yanks, he will be zippo

besides the hitters
Joe G shoulda left AJ in one more inning (why take the guy out when he’s in cruise control?) He shoulda gotten Joba outta there as soon as it was obvious his control was off (why leave a guy struggling in there with a 1 run lead in the 8th??? Go the next guy!)
This isn’t a fire anyone anything, but Joe needs stick with guys when they are rolling as opposed to making a change just to make a change…..and he needs to make a change fast and furious when a guys is on the ropes.
actually it was a smart call to take AJ at that time
he was firting with disaster ala AJ

This is something that I’m totally sure of. Until one of those teams loses a game and the Rays win. Then my opinion will be totally different, but I’ll be equally sure on it.
It’s all about being absolutely sure who’s going to the playoffs, and then changing said opinion based on mini hot streaks.

I’m sorry if this was discussed earlier.. I was at the game and in the city all day. Do we think Hughes, Pettitte or Swisher got in? I think Gardner fell off a bit (unfortunately) and CC has pitched like an All Star of late.. but I believe Pettitte makes the trip with Swisher as a backup. What do you guys think?

I don't mean to sound like a downer...
But other pitchers probably deserve it more than CC and Hughes. Cliff Lee was out for a while so I don’t know if it’s fair that he gets to go. Jon Lester absolutely will be there and should be. David Price should be there… Felix Hernandez should be there… Ricky Romero should be there as well! Pettitte should be there no matter what. It’s a tough call between CC and Hughes, but if CC can’t go then Hughes should.

yeah, buts its very rare for a non-closer relief pitcher to make the team
I think hes been good, just not in the AS game
Bard has a 2.04 ERA and WHIP of 0.86
Just saying, he’s been real good. 42 K’s in 39 innings.. I agree that closers take priority but if they take a normal reliever or setup man it should be Bard

Part of me wants to see the ASG circumstances changd back
Although I like the fact that we root for the AL team now to win.. I sorta like the idea of having the team with the best regular season record having homefield advantage
In Jeter, We trust.
then we would have it right?

I just like the extra incentive to play better during the regular season
Playing 162 games is probably grueling at some points for the players

Joba and Frankenstein
Dr. Frankenstein’s famous experiment cobbling together the monster and the Yankees equally misguided experiment trying to make Joba a starter can both can be categorized as things that “seemed like a good idea at the time” but later went seriously awry. What they have in common is that in the end the monster was being chased by angry villagers bearing torches and Joba is just about one Blown Save away from having the same effect on loyal Yankee fans. Both also sport incredible dumb expressions, though the monster had an excuse since his brain was ABBY-normal while Joba’s just come naturally. Bad as the Yankee bullpen is (besides Riviera of course), Joba and Chan-Ho are now the featured players in that pathetic rogue’s gallery…
You are aware that Joba was a starting pitcher his entire career before 2007 correct? And that he was put in the bullpen out of necessity?
Joba starting for the Yankees isn’t some twisted experiment that they made up, it was a return to what he had always done.

Error: Manager
Part of this falls on Joe, who is an excellent manager. Even the best managers, like the best players, commit errors. Sending D-Rob out for the 11th after he had thrown 17 pitches was asking for trouble. I would have hoped that Park, Gaudin or the new call-up would have been inserted. That said, Joe is the right man for the job. We all can learn from our mistakes — we all make them.
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, Wheres our GDT?
