Joe, you picked the wrong one. Even God got his rest in! Heck if you can't distill your own moonshine turning water into wine or part the water for a shortcut how the heck can you pitch a World Series game without getting the proper rest? It was talked about quite a bit before the game, ...

Wed, 28 Oct 2009 16:54:04 +0000

Both teams have had plenty of rest and have been able to set their rotations exactly how they want them, so it's the best against the best on the biggest stage; the way it should be. Game one is a matchup of both team aces. Scheduled game 3 starter Cole Hamels hasn't been the same pitcher ...

A little blurry, but thought I would share some more photos of A.J. Burnett, Joe Girardi, and Jose Molina on their floats. Any coincidence that Molina and Burnett share one float?

Fri, 6 Nov 2009 20:35:00 +0000

What that trio of Twins pitchers accomplished back in a 1991 Fall Classic that defined such a title, a Yankees bunch that included two New York newcomers (CC Sabathia and A.J. Burnett) and one Big Apple old-timer (Andy Pettitte, of course) matched as the clock at Yankee Stadium read 11:51 p.m. ET on Wednesday night.

First to Third: Three Days Rest

Tue, 3 Nov 2009 22:00:00 +0000

Despite taking a 3-1 series lead into last night's game five of the World Series, the Yankees sent A.J. Burnett to the mound to face the Phillies on three days rest rather than sending Chad Gaudin out to pitch. Burnett, who hadn't thrown on three days rest all season, didn't make it out ...

When you spend a lot of time in a baseball clubhouse, you pick up on a lot of baseball phrases. Some I can print, some I can’t, but one I’ve always liked is, “Wear it.” Best I can tell, it can be used in two ways. When a pitcher gets shelled but stays in the game to ...

Starting Andy Pettitte on three days' rest is risky

Wed, 4 Nov 2009 15:55:00 +0000

(from Squawker Jon) Is Joe Girardi making a mistake by going with a three-man rotation? I think he is. Game 5 is hindsight now, but going into Game 6, I think the Yankees would be better off having used Chad Gaudin in Game 5 and having A.J. Burnett available on full rest for Game 6. I wrote ...
