PeteAbe this morning on Joba Chamberlain : Frankly, Joba has become boring. The Yankees are 10-5 in the games he starts but he has only six decisions. His ERA is 3.89, which is just OK. He has allowed 79 hits in 81 innings, pretty good. He has 73 strikeouts, not bad. The 40 walks are too much. ...
My Joba Guess
yankeesredsox.com 7/25/2009 — I have been thinking about Joba and what is in store for him and I think I have a guess at what the Yankees are up to. Al Leiter speculated on the pregame tonight that the innings number was 150 or so and I think he is right. Now that includes postseason and I would bet that means ...
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? She was named Jinx...it's a stretch, but don't complain
Actually, that’s not entirely accurate. The game was a heartbreaker only because the ...
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 ...
Of Pitch Values and Wasting Your Time
310tojoba.blogspot.com 7/16/2009 — .nobr br { display: none } Recently, in their quest to ensure that I never want to leave my computer, Fangraphs added a section about individual pitch types that weight the "potency" of individual pitchers' offerings by the amount of runs that a team saves when a pitcher employs them. I linked ...
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. It's a good thing that Alfredo Aceves pitched a four-inning save, completely shutting down the ...
Joba is not a starter right now
nyyankeesrumors.com 7/6/2009 — Joba Chamberlain
We all thought Joba Chamberlain was a starter, but as of right now he has shown us nothing but mediocrity since joining the rotation. There are no excuses for it either. Do you guys realize what Joba said after the game?
He said…
“I did a good job today, I ...
Joba still dominating the conversation - and rightfully so
nydailynews.com 7/12/2009 — Another day, another pregame session with Joe Girardi about Joba Chamberlain.
After sitting through another unwatchable performance on Friday night, we all had to listen to Joba tell us how his stuff the last two times out has been as good as ...
Joba Chamberlain becoming Yankees best starter: Still, the debate continues
lennysyankees.com 6/26/2009 — I wouldn’t have brought up the Joba Chamberlain debate if Bryan Hoch hadn’t. But he did , and another convincing nugget from Joe Girardi was released. "It is a great debate," Girardi said. "But our plan is for him to be a starter. I think he's a top-end starter in our ...
A tale of two pitchers
riveraveblues.com 7/1/2009 — On April 26, 2007, the Yankees found themselves without a starting pitcher, and so a few months — or possibly a year — ahead of schedule, they handed the ball over to a 20-year-old right-hander named Phil Hughes . A few months later, on August 7, ...
