Another snoozer for Joba

Wed, 1 Jul 2009 11:35:21 +0000

Because of the rain delay, there was less time to write for the newspaper, so I had to pick my spots for interviews after the game A little Girardi, a little Matsui, a little Jeter, some Mo, some Bruney, some Hughes. I passed on Joba because he wasn’t going to be a very big part of ...

Pleading the fifth with Cano

Wed, 1 Jul 2009 17:59:39 +0000

Robinson Cano has not not driven in a run since time began. Or June 17, it only seems like since time began. When Mariano Rivera has more RBI than you do in the last nine games, something is amiss. Cano is hitting .300 after getting a couple of hits last night. But he’s now at .213 ...

Hinske at the hot corner?

Wed, 1 Jul 2009 15:20:23 +0000

Both Joe Girardi and Brian Cashman were quick to say yesterday that Eric Hinske can play first base, third base, right field and left field. They are correct in the sense that he has played those positions in the past. But as far as third base goes, he should not. Hinske has played 68 ...

The Woes of Brian Bruney

Fri, 3 Jul 2009 20:30:00 +0000

"Bruney's our 8th-inning guy" --Joe Girardi, 1 July 2009 Brian Bruney did not pitch the 8th inning of that game, a Yankee win; nor did he pitch the eighth inning today, also a Yankee win. Instead, those innings were given to a combination of Phil Coke and Phil Hughes, who, to their credit, have ...

On May 22nd, the Yankees were riding a nine game winning streak. It was the Friday heading into the three day Memorial Day Weekend. I wrote the game preview that night , and chose "Once" from Pearl Jam. The Yanks lost to the Phils that night. I'm not the most superstitious person in the world, ...

Game 78: State Of Love And Trust

Thu, 2 Jul 2009 21:00:00 +0000

Last Wednesday, Yankeedom was in a panic. The team had dropped consecutive series to the lowly Nationals and Marlins, and were a Luis Castillo error away from having lost to the reeling Mets as well. They also dropped the first game of the series in Atlanta. The pitching had been good, but the ...

From Peter Botte : Ramiro Pena proved capable - if not a revelation - in small samples at multiple infield positions this season. Now, the Yankees will ask the defensively adept rookie to try on another glove to enhance his versatility and his long-term value to the organization. Pena, as ...

Streak Strikes Seven

Thu, 2 Jul 2009 02:45:00 +0000

In a brisk two hour and fifteen minute game that was part pitchers' duel, part home run derby, the Yankees' winning streak reached seven games. Andy Pettitte had a great outing, erasing the memory of his awful start in Atlanta last week, and turning in his best start yet at the new Stadium. He ...

A Sensible Approach

Thu, 2 Jul 2009 01:22:31 +0000

Kudos to Joe Girardi for tonight's lineup. Against a tough lefty he moved Cano down to 6 (not a bad idea no matter who is pitching) and he let A-Rod DH instead of Matsui. I imagine it didn't escape the Yankees notice that Mike Lowell went on the DL yesterday because of his ...

Bruney is the 8th inning guy ... well, except for tonight

Thu, 2 Jul 2009 13:28:28 +0000

Before tonight’s game, we asked Joe Girardi about the eighth-inning situation last night. During the course of the press conference, the manager uttered the words “Bruney is our eighth-inning guy” no less than four times. Maybe more. “He’s our eighth inning guy right now,” Girardi said. “He’s had success in that role, but he’s struggling a bit right now. I know he doesn’t have the track record of a Tex or Alex or some of the other players ...

Phil Hughes to assume eighth inning role?

Wed, 1 Jul 2009 19:46:00 +0000

Joe Girardi continues to call Brian Bruney the setup man on this team, but after last night’s blown save in the eighth, Bruney might be degraded to middle relief. After watching Phil Hughes continue to dominate the sixth and seventh innings, it seems he could potentially replace Bruney for the ...

Hughes Getting Very Comfortable in the Pen

Here's a quote from Hughes about his new role, via Peter Abraham : "I feel like I have more control, my stuff plays up a little bit," Hughes said. "It feels like a good fit for me. Who's to say what the future will be? Maybe this is what I do for the rest of my career." Still, Hughes sees the ...
