Keep Winning- the Brian Cashman Edition
When I signed off before my move down south I said just keep winning. And the Yankees have rewarded my faith. They haven't even just won, but been winning big by outpitching the league. I suspect we're getting a glimpse at the Yankee future Brian Cashman is constructing. Great starters, good...
Joba-mania
I've been scouring the interwebs for the last hour, hoping to read something to would spark me to an original thought. I've got nothing. Joba was brilliant, again. His 1BB, 7K performance last night works towards restoring the balance of his BB:K ratio (which got thrown off badly by that first...
Joba the Starter
From the NYTimes: Chamberlain could summon such heat when he needed it, but his greater reliance on a sinker helped induce contact and conserve pitches. Chamberlain, who left for a pinch-hitter in the seventh, said he worked on the sinker with Chien-Ming Wang last spring, when both were...
Today in Yankeeland
A much needed win- second in a row and 3 of 4. Which do you think is most important: Joba pitched phenomenally (6 innings on 88 pitches) and he figures to be ready to go to 100 for the rest of the season. Jeter drilled one- only his 4th extra base hit since his HBP on May 27th, and only his...
Location, Location, Location
The Blue Jays waited Joba out, and he certainly didn't help himself. Fastball 24/46 Slider 7/14 Curve 1/2 Change 0/0 As you can see (if you weren't watching the game) Joba's command wasn't there with any of his pitches. Especially interesting are the 17 consecutive fastballs he threw to end...
Joba to start Tuesday
Joe Girardi just confirmed during his weekly spot on Mike and the Mad Dog that Joba Chamberlain will make his first major league start against the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday night at the Stadium. Andy Pettitte will make the start on Monday against Livan Hernandez and the Twins. Girardi stated...
Thinking About Joba's Pitch Selection
Matthaggs expressed concern last night that Joba's transition to the rotation is not happening well. Basically, haggs is worried that pitch count does not equal performance, that Joba's reliance upon his fastball-slider combo will not be as effective the second or third time through a lineup...
Joba returns; Farnsworth suspended
Pete Abe is reporting the good news that Joba Chamberlain will return to the team before tonight's action against the Orioles. Joba has reportedly made a couple of bullpen sessions while he was attending to his dad. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets into the game tonight regardless whether they...
The Joba debate - again
Unfortunately, it is a topic that will be discussed all season long but yesterday’s dominant performance by Chamberlain has once again sparked the Joba in the rotation vs. bullpen debate in the NY media. Jim Baumbach of Newsday and Jack Curry of the NY Times both addressed this issue yet...
Joba's Curve
If you watched yesterday's game, especially Joba's domination of Willy Aybar, you should understand why Joba is a starter in the long-term. Gameday uses its cameras to keep track of each pitches break in two different ways. The first, which they call "break," is a simple measure of the distance...
