Yankees have lost count them #4 in total games as a result of NOT having Joba in the pen since the move back on May.25th to June 5th,
- #2 in Baltimore
- #1 against the Mariners and
- #1 against the Twins
...so tell me...
Who will Save Joba?
So answer me this? What good is having Joba in the rotation to only have him pitch let's say
"8" beautiful innings and leaving the Yankees ahead 4 to 1, only to bring in Kyle Farnsworth to walk the side then relieve him with Hawkins who gives up a grandslam after???
Who will Save Joba?
In conclussion, from a Yankee insider--->
Quote:
If you ask me it’s a mistake with Joba like the Redsox tried with Paplebom they’ll soon see Joba run into high pitch counts and struggle before the 5th
He’s best when comming in for 2 innings tops!
keeping his pitch count down and throwing the heck off the baseball cover,
Like Boston learned with trying to put Pappelbom in the rotation the Yanks will learn as well and look eslsewhere for there Josh Becket.
He went on........
The Yankees have alot of problems this year from pourus defense to no rotation or bullpen stabilty and mostly......from suffering from the 2 run homerun mentality "especially Rodriguez" in clutch situation and overswinging. And also, the inability to move runners bunt, steal bases. The basics
"Basically, not having enough speed on the bases".
...Or NOT, able to generate runs that easily without the 2 run HR
... But the Yankees will lose alot more close games this season in late innings if they have to rely on the likes of Ramirez, Farnsworth and Hawkins.
and in todays day and age.... starting pitching usually doesn't go past 6 innings
"even the best pitchers dont usually go past 6 or 7 innings!"
"Would you want Farsnworth to be your 7th or 8th inning guy?"
I wouldn't
