Scott Dierking Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Joba belongs as a starter for the long term. The Yankees best chance to win a World Series this year is with Joba pitching the 8th inning. UNLESS one of the kids steps up and shows they can lock down the 8th in the same manner that is. Maybe Bruney proves he can do it but in a big spot (postseason) we will see... Huh? You don't want Yankees to win the WS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RexRyanRules Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Wow, 76 innings pitched as a starter? When do they start casting the bust at Cooperstown? What is your point? This discussion is about if Joba should be a starter or RP, not if he should be in cooperstown. The fact that is that he's been a very effective starting pitcher as the numbers I posted show.

Your "roommate" Mike would be able to tell you this. Once he is finished arguing with himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your "roommate" Mike would be able to tell you this. Once he is finished arguing with himself. Again you're not addressing the point of the argument. Starter vs Reliever. If you want to have an argument with yourself about Joba sucking because he's only pitched 76 innings as a starter, fine. That's not what anyone else is talking about here.

You gave stats that supposedly supported him as a starting pitcher. Those stats encompass 76 innings. Are we really supposed to think those are substantive?

The fact that is that he's been a very effective starting pitcher as the numbers I posted show. His ERA of over 5 and WHIP of 1.50 has been his issue this year. He should be fine but 16 baserunner in 10 innings is a problem right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrissey Posted April 19, 2009 Author Share Posted April 19, 2009 But nothing to make pronouncements about. It is when you're comparing it to 2 starts. 76 innings is a full season for many relievers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If YOU want to make pronouncements about 76 innings being relative to stating a career roles, so be it. But I don't play mascot games like you.

PFSIKH Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Those stats are from TWO GAMES (one of which he pitched very well in.) Talk about knee jerk reactions... You might want him moved to the pen as a Red Sox fan but the yankees aren't going to be doing that. True, but it does not diminish the truthiness in what I said. Joba was a wunderkind two years ago. He was dominant. Even last year he was good, but all his stats went in the wrong direction from his first year. His WHIP went up. As did his ERA, hits allowed per 9 BBs allowed per 9 and base runners allowed. All the while his Ks per 9 went down. Granted, it is only two starts, but all though trends have continued. Isn't "most innings" and "Joba Chamberlain" an oxymoron? Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GimmeShelter Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 News: Chien-Ming Wang's struggles are a mystery to him. New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi, however, sees things differently, and is undecided about right-hander's next start. The soft-spoken 29-year-old from Taiwan said he has compared video of his performances from this season to last year, when was 8-2 with a 4.07 ERA in 15 starts before injuring his right foot June 15, and doesn't see a difference. "Everything is the same as last season," Wang said. "Nothing's wrong. Just keep working." But Girardi also watched video with his staff and thinks there are several things Wang can work on. "We looked at his hands, height of his leg kick, where his head is - if it's out of line - the angle of his arm. We looked at everything." Girardi said. "We had some healthy stuff that we saw. We understand that we need to make some adjustments." Girardi believes Wang, who was 5-0 in April last year, deserves more leeway than an inexperienced pitcher, but he said the Yankees will have to make a decision about what to do with him soon. He said he hasn't spoken with Wang about it yet. "It's just difficult to go through, and you got to fight your way out," Girardi said. "We really feel he is capable of doing that. We've got to help him." Wang's next turn in the rotation is scheduled for Boston on Friday, and his preference is to make the start and work on his motion during regular side sessions. "I can pitch in that game. I want to pitch," Wang said. Sounds like mechanics and it is normal that Wang is not seeing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
