This is bad. This is very bad.
Arod left the game after being hit on the hand. He did not hit his 600th home run.
The first pitch of every at bat yesterday came up and in. Kerry Wood Blake Wood was following the same strategy... Was it to make Arod move his feet? To intimidate him? The spot they figured he was least likely to hit a homer?
I'll update the post as soon as I hear the extent of Arod's injury.
Update: Sounds like Arod will be ok. He won't need X-Rays and figures to be ready to play. He came out of the game because the Yanks were up 5 in the 9th inning.
Joba thoughts after the jump.
Joba was the untouchable part of the recent Haren-to-the-Bronx rumors. And today, he left even more fans wondering what Brian Cashman sees.
Statistically, Joba has been unlucky this season- he has allowed an abnormally high number of hits based on the number of Line Drives he has allowed. This kind of luck tends to even out over the course of a season.
But here's his home and away splits for his Batting Average on Balls in Play: .351 Away, .421 Home. And that's before today's ugly 8th inning.
As I watched light-hitting Scott Podsednik's home run disappear over the short right field fence, I found myself wondering if maybe the problem is Joba in Yankee Stadium. A power pitching right hander figures to have trouble in Yankee Stadium, where a lefty hitter just has to meet a 95 mph fastball squarely to drive it out. Maybe he can't be successful here.
Pull the trigger Cash. Keep Nova if you can. But move Joba out.
Oh, and DFA Chan Ho Park. Seriously. /rant

He's still distracted by A-Rod's wrist/hand.

Yeah same
A-Rod out of the lineup is a completely different landscape for the Yanks. He provides so much protection for Tex… I guess that average is going to go back down to .190. I’m about to jump off a building.

the Red Sox are in deep trouble. bases loaded no outs in the bottom of the 8th and they’ve already lost the lead (now 4-2 Seatlle). Red Sox fans must be rabid.

Every once in a while the Yankees win a blowout that does not make me happy.
I’m thinking the last one involved an injury to Posada- anybody remember something like that?
Interesting split for Joba. How does it line up with HR/IP home and away? I’m guessing there’s some correlation, but it’s a good sanity check.

Joba's actually been a lot better on the road

That's pretty pricey
Still, I think it might be worth it if you could count on Greinke to handle NY pressure. There’s too much of a question mark there, though. For just Joba and Montero, maybe.

I’d give the Royals the D-backs’ Haren package- Joba, Nova, McAllister and another. But I wouldn’t give them Montero.

i'm not sure about trading joba yet

The Royals would want more.
Even after his so-so season this year. Besides. He “can’t” handle New York and he would be a RHSP in NYS. Both don’t go well together.
More than Montero, Joba and two other players? Presumably two good/decent pitchers
…. Doubtful

he's not johan santana.
they wanted both and the yanks balked at that. you think the yanks value greinke higher than santana in his prime? i sure dont.
if i were the royals and the yanks offered me hughes, joba, nova and mcallister for greinke id do backflips and accept before i woke up from my dream.

Nothing specific
Just his back handed comments for example:
They will be talking about a Yankee record or something and he will say " well joe that would not be hard to do with the highest payroll in baseball"
Since the face been revealed the game got real
we are the "evil empire" anyway

okay just to clarify
are people really ready to send joba out on NY? id deal him in the right package, but not for a bag of balls and big league chew.

like it was said
I wouldn’t trade him with his stock low like this
Since the face been revealed the game got real
Eventually, he might.
I wouldn’t do it, though. I still have some hope for Joba as a starter, in spite of what I might have said in the past.
Usqueadbaugham! Anam muck an dhoul ! Did ye drink me doornail?
im a firm believer
that joba should be in AAA. 15 minor league starts and a call up does not really lead to success

that;s his only upside the potential
but not for haren, it has to be a bonafied starter

yeah but
the yanks dont want to trade montero, so that point is moot.
he was only included in the lee deal because he was a “special case”

I think "in the right package" has to qualify talk about any trades
Otherwise it’s just a bad trade.
Usqueadbaugham! Anam muck an dhoul ! Did ye drink me doornail?
Agreed. He still has value, and I think he’ll rebound from his current numbers, but he shouldn’t be untouchable.
"Have faith in the Yankees, my son. Think of the great DiMaggio."
No
He should be in AAA to learn how to pitch, and let’s see if CHOP makes till 7/31/10?

for real...
it is selling low, cuz he’s really not this bad. It’s wise to not give him up in the Haren trade, but if there’s a better pitcher out there available…then I guess so. But said trade better be coming back with a RP as well.

i mean im sure every team realizes he's not this bad.

keep nova, but move joba?
nova isn’t even close to being as valuable or as good as joba. even a struggling joba.
i wonder if this means cashman values chamberlain as a starting pitcher. because if he sees him as a reliever going forward, there is no way he doesn’t trade him an ace starter. we all known sp>rp.
RU RAH RAH
RU RAH RAH
I hadn’t realized that the Haren trade to the Angels had gone through.
The Haren package the Dbacks requested had been Joba, Nova and two others. The Yankees countered with a package of all prospects.
My stance was (and is) that if we can move Joba for a major player, there’s no way to turn that down.
