.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 ...
Breaking Down the Yankees for the Second Half--The Rotation
puristbleedspinstripes.com 7/15/2009 — So the All Star Game is officially over--and we can thus consider ourselves in the second half. This is where it gets fun. All of those days players got rested in the first half? Well, now they have to play. Now the pennant races start to heat up, and every move a team makes, be it a trade, a ...
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 ...
Fixing the Pitching
slidingintohome.blogspot.com 7/13/2009 — Coming into the year the Yankees were supposed to have one of the best five man rotations in the league. It hasn't worked out that way at all though. Sabathia has been very good and an innings eater but not truly the ace that the Yankees were looking for, Pettitte is showing his age and has been ...
Burning questions about the Yankees
soxandpinstripes.com 8/4/2009 — These could be the most important questions about the Yankees for the remainder of the year:
What will become of Joba's innings limit?
We've heard the whispers for awhile now. No longer is the Joba controversy "should he start"? Now the issue is "how much longer will he start?". ...
First Half Review: Starting Pitchers
riveraveblues.com 7/13/2009 — At 51-37, with the third best record in baseball, leading the Wild Card and just three games back in the AL East, the Yankees had a fine first half. Yet it was a tumultuous three months, wrought with streaks and injuries and strange trends, causing ...
Second Half Issue: Stop Overworking the Bullpen
slidingintohome.blogspot.com 7/14/2009 — To continue today's pitching theme, I bring up another one of the Yankees second half issues, their overworked bullpen. The Yankees bullpen has thrown more innings than just three other AL teams; the A's, the Orioles, and the Indians. If you haven't looked at the standings lately, those are ...
How Reactivating Chien Ming Wang Messed With Phil Hughes
puristbleedspinstripes.com 7/13/2009 — Recently, I've been seeing a lot of posts suggesting that to solve the rotation problems, the Yankees should move Phil Hughes back from the bullpen to the rotation. On the surface, it's hard to disagree with this. As a starter, Hughes this season was showing improvement outside of one disastrous ...
Phil Hughes Allows First ER Since June 9
mlbnotebook.com 7/31/2009 — New York Yankees RHP Phil Hughes has emerged as one of the top set-up men in the game. Going into last night's appearance against the Chicago White Sox, he had lowered his ERA from 5.45 to 3.43 since being moved to the bullpen; he had started seven games before that point. Not being able to get ...
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 ...
The Joba Math
yankeesredsox.com 7/24/2009 — The Yankees have 67 games left and that means Joba would be expected to start 13 more times this season. Considering he has already thrown 95 innings, that would put him way over his suspected innings limit of 140. So, what exactly is the Yankees' plan here? If they want to ...
Q&A: Alex Burnett —
Bleacher Report - MLB 7/16/2009
This is the first Q&A I've done in a long time, so I hope everyone enjoys it. Alex Burnett has been a great presence throughout the Twins system since they drafted him in the 12th round of the 2005 draft. In Rookie Ball, Burnett looked to ...
MLB Trade Deadline: Don't Believe The Hype —
Bleacher Report - MLB 7/16/2009
This is the time of year where guys like Steve Phillips earn their paycheck (when they're not busy ruining teams and working for ESPN) and spend endless hours pondering trade scenarios and how playoff contending teams can improve their chances.
