JetNation Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Andy Pettitte outpitched Oakland All-Star Justin Duchscherer, getting just enough run support from Jason Giambi's homer and a sacrifice fly by Alex Rodriguez to help the New York Yankees hold off the Athletics 2-1 on Sunday for a three-game sweep.

anskyruben Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Andy is on a role. Our 2 best horses right now are out two oldest guys. Amazing. Andy and Moose are carrying this team along with a great bullpen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anskyruben Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 I think most people expected him to be good. I never thought Moose and Andy would give us this kind of effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbn007 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Joba is a horse. I really believe he will be a top of the rotation guy. He had an issue with walks his first few starts, but that is under control now. He still Ks a bunch of folks. And he does not give up many runs at all. His ERA as a starter is better than it was as a relief guy in 2008. For the record, Goose Gossage is dead wrong about Joba belonging in the pen. With the turn-a-round that Farnsworth has had, the emergence of Veras (this weekend not-with-standing) and the consistency of Ramirez and the new stud, Robertson, the back end of the pen is solid, leading up to MO. And Bruney is coming back soon, possibly by the weekend. Petitte and Moose have delivered. I think Andy will continue, and while I have some reservations about Moose, I do not think he will implode. With Wang due back hopefully by September, and Hughes hopefully getting really healthy, the stretch run could have a dominant rotation. The key is for Ponson/Rasner/Kennedy/Kartsens/McCutchen to not stink up from the #4 and $5 slots the next 6 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
