Because the game started late last night, I only made it to the 7 th inning stretch before I fell asleep with the game on. The Yanks were down 7-6 and I remember thinking that they could easily come back and win the game, assuming the pitching held up. I woke up a few hours later and the replay ...
Are A Couple Yankee Pitchers Pitching Injured? (Game Notes 10 and 11 July 2009)
puristbleedspinstripes.com 7/11/2009 — Brian Bruney and Joba Chamberlain have been, well, awful of late. So, here's the question: Do you think they are injured? Brian Bruney's spent most of this season on the DL. He has looked awful since coming off of it, and tonight's performance is no different. There's a 1:2 K/BB ratio, and when ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
A stroll down Joba Lane: First five starts
riveraveblues.com 7/16/2009 — No player on the Yankees this season has taken up as much of our time as Joba Chamberlain . Sure, A-Rod has his his non-drama that everyone pays attention to, Posada had the whole thing where he couldn’t call a game for a while, and Burnett had ...
Getting up to speed with Joba Chamberlain

The Pitch F/X chart of Joba’s fastball velocity over time. (Click to enlarge in a new window)
As Joba Chamberlain skyrocketed his way through the Yankee organization as a starter, the book on him was velocity. During his 2006 appearance ...
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 ...
A stroll down Joba Lane: Starts 6 through 10
riveraveblues.com 7/16/2009 — 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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
