Yesterday we took a gander at Joba Chamberlain’s first five starts . The idea is to take look at his control (though not necessarily his command), pitch breakdown, and velocity to see if we can find any trends. Yesterday’s installment didn’t yield much (tough to do so with ...

Joba the But
passion4baseball.blogspot.com 7/20/2009 — Watched the Yankees game yesterday against the Tigers on MLB.tv and it was a great game...unless you are a Tigers' fan. The big story of the game was not that the Yankees won the game 2-1 on two solo homers by Teixeira and A-Rod. The story was that Joba Chamberlain had a very good game and Phil ...

Time For A Reality Check
riveraveblues.com 7/6/2009 — Even though the Yanks walked away with a win yesterday, neophyte righthander Joba Chamberlain labored through yet another start, struggling with his command and failing to put hitters away with two strikes. After the game Joba said he thought he did ...
To Start, or Not to Start…
yanksgoyard.com 7/7/2009 — Well I jinxed it. I stopped writing about the Yankees and they win 10 of 11. I come back and they lose a heartbreaker, 7-6. I’m a jinx.

What if Joba Chamberlain isn't a starter?
lennysyankees.com 7/11/2009 — I have always been a supporter of Joba Chamberlain in the rotation, but it's hard to hold my ground when he gets bombed every night. He had a four-run lead against a diminished Angels lineup last night , and then fell apart in the fifth inning. He has never gotten into a groove this season and ...
Yanks win, but their starter doesn't do the best Joba
subwaysquawkers.blogspot.com 7/6/2009 — Is Sunday's game over yet? What a long, long game, especially the first few innings. Were Joba Chamberlain and Toronto pitcher Brett Cecil competing in a Steve Trachsel pitch-alike contest? Sheesh.

Waiting for Joba
bats.blogs.nytimes.com 7/13/2009 — Joba Chamberlain has made 29 starts and has 10 decisions. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, that is the fewest decisions through a pitcher's first 29 starts in history.
A deceptively simple cause for Joba's problems
puristbleedspinstripes.com 7/16/2009 — Tonight, I appeared as a guest on Steve Keane's Pro Baseball Central show on BlogTalkRadio. Through much arguing and bickering about the importance of the eighth inning and what will happen when Mariano Rivera's contract expires, there was a point raised that I found worthy of further ...
Where have you gone, Joba Chamberlain?
riveraveblues.com 7/11/2009 — Following a stellar eight-inning appearance in Cleveland on June 1, Joba Chamberlain seemed to be on the verge of a run. He had allowed just four hits and two walks while winning his third decision of the year. His ERA sat at 3.71, and he had reached ...
