Game 56: Getting Back On Track
ByThe best and worst thing about baseball is that they play every day. It’s great because you have a chance to make up for a loss or extend a winning streak right away. It sucks because it wears you down. But after a deflating loss like yesterday’s, you’re thankful for the chance to get right back at it.
The Yanks are sending Joba Chamberlain to the mound and hope he builds on his dominant outing in Cleveland last time out. There’s also a good chance he’ll be relieved by Phil Hughes, who was warming up in the bullpen to pitch a potential 10th inning yesterday and hasn’t pitched in six days. With any luck, the Yanks will put up a boatload of runs, Joba will go six strong and Hughes finishes up the final three frames.
Scoring runs might not be easy though, because Matt Garza has quietly been one of the best pitchers in the league over the last month and a half. He’s put up a 2.98 ERA, 1.03 WHIP & .596 OPS against over his last seven starts. Thankfully, the Yanks will be trotting the A-lineup out there:
Jeter, SS
Damon, LF
Teixeira, 1B
A-Rod, 3B
Cano, 2B
Posada, C
Matsui, DH
Swisher, RF
Melky, CF
And on the mound, Jobber Chamberlain.

Spring Training Countdown
Just 5 days 'til pitchers and catchers report.Banner Design By
I smell a win.
Personally, I smell bacon (it’s breakfast time out in CA). But I could go for a win too…
My apartment smells of rich mahogany.
Would like Joba and the A-lineup to wipe the taste of yesterday’s disaster from my mouth . . .
If we lose, I’m blaming Palin. For once, there is someone in the park that people can hate more than A-Rod.
thats the truth, dontcha know
You betcha.
wink*
Yes, lets make an entirely unnecessary statement regarding a political figure in a baseball thread. Like her or not, no need to take a swipe at her in a game thread.
Lighten up, Francis.
My apologies if I have tired of seeing people wring her through the grinder and mocking her. Little overdone by now isn’t it?
better then yankees fans booing arod
Jesus, take it easy. It’s a joke, albeit an easy target. It’s not like it’s out of nowhere. She’s at the damn game. Glad the p.c. police is monitoring the thread.
I’ll never tire of it.
let’s win by many many runs today
I hate seeing fullcounts that joba loves getting into
the nick swisher of pitching
What’s Joba doing starting? Figured after yesterday he’d be in the 8th inning only… Oh, well, I guess I’ll watch anyway.
Gameday is showing his velocity at 90-91
stadium gun is showing 92
Low nonetheless
Doesn’t matter.
=1
you cant win games without a 95mph fastball
Didn’t think of that.
lol. I never said that.
Just saying its lower than his last start
i know, just having fun
how does tex have a negative UZR?
sample size
I’m going with “because defensive statistics take a lot longer to stabilize than offensive statistics.”
BUT HE HAS ZERO ERRORS RAWR
lol
yay 1-2-3 first inning
15 pitches
I see Kay’s new annoying phrase is “hair on the fastball.”
porcello had a rough 1st inning =(
GIVE ME HIS LAST 5 STARTS
Good for Damon, making him work.
It’d be really nice if Delmon Young can get his shit together and make the Rays regret that trade.
look at jeff franceour, thats the path delmon young is going down. which is surprising because twins are always about teacing fundamentals, and you’d think being in a clubhouse with mauer and morneau something would rub off.
Unless he becomes the next Albert Pujols, I don’t think the Rays will ever regret that trade.
Rangers need to spank Dice-BB today
They better
I was thinking that way, then realized they have Vicente Padilla going today, ugh.
he might throw at ortiz after that bomb he hit last night
hopefully on his wrist
“bomb”
“lazy fly ball”
exactly
that place went crazy too, then again they go crazy if ortiz hits the warming track
i think they called for a curtain call
lol joba
meet ben zobrist
utility player into all-star
Comparing Ben Zobrist to Albert Pujols on Rays telecast. I SHIT YOU NOT!
shoot me now
What? How?
Talking about his approach and slugging percentage….I didn’t listen to it all. Kevin Kennedy is the absolute worst.
Don’t get me wrong, I think Zobrist is a really good player and an excellent utility guy, but Albert Pujols? Come on!
Good ole’ Home cooking right there….
I like it..
Didn’t Kay call Jeet’s God?
but Zobrist isnt Jeter
He might be Albert Pujols…so watch it there..
Zobrist, you have to realize that your name is too goofy to allow you to ever be a star. Sit down.
tex is worth the $$$
we need fatvarro to make some more errors today so garza gets pissed and kicks his ass
Garza is practically a fictional character; looks ridiculous, big fastball.
I guess by that standard, so is Randy Johnson.
With all the spitting he does, I don’t know how he doesn’t get dehydrated during games.
he listens to some eminem and weezy before the game.
TURNS HIS SWAG ON
oh shit, texas/redsox game on TBS today
Live by the scrappiness, die by the scrappiness.
What are you swinging at, Robbie?
damn that was ball 3 Robbie
and again he swings at a ball
i love david cone
did he jerk it?
drop the head, find the hole
I can’t decide if that was a good or bad at-bat by Robbie. He saw seven pitches, which is good, but it looked like two of the pitches he fouled off were balls.
Michael Young homered!
w00t
well, nice job working 7 pitches out of Garza
Where did the bandbox go?!!!!
why are the yankees kidding themselves thinking matsui will patrol the outfield again
because interleague play is coming up so do they really want him to not play regularly from june 15-29th?
19th-29th*
Take until you get a strike.
0-2 with RISP so far
good job not over analyzing
Where has “The man with 33 fingers” been lately?
Here:
http://www.supertangas.com/
It’s just not the same….
I know. I’m so sorry.
teix has more range than jeter
Teix says, “Negative UZR this, bitch!”
I wonder, do shifts affect UZR ratings? If Jeter is shifting up the middle and a ball is hit to his left and he makes the play, does he get credit for that?
I REALLLY hate umpires.
+1. That 0-1 pitch to Upton was perfect.
the 2-1 pitch was right there as well
Gameday agrees
FUUUUUUUUUUU
Nice play to get Crawford. Gotta be perfect on a play like that to get that guy.
hanson struck out the side in the 2nd
my fantasy team says thank you
Damn
Way to go Al. He’s looking healthier every week.
2 on no outs for chris davis
1 out now, come on teagarden.
and he fails
teagarden putting up a fight
nvm, he struck out lol
but fails too
Alright Vizquel!
i love when young pitcher are able to minimize damage when they have RISP
see: matt cain
Problem there is that his peripherals have been getting worse year over year, and so he’s living and dying with that strand rate at this point. Odds are he regresses to the mean, and that’s going to hurt him unless he gets his K:BB ratio under control.
i agree, his strand rate is super high and his whip is really bad.
he’s overachieving but continues to do so
When Joba can start dropping that change away to lefties consistently, it’s going to be sick.
Let’s go offense, we need to score some runs now
Congrates to Roger Federer on tying Sampras record today with 14 GS. That dude is awesome.
I hate that he’s over a year younger than me.
You look at that guy, and it’s like…what am I doing with my life?
He’s one of those guys he seems alot older than he is but when u look up he’s born in 1981.
omar vizquel hits an rbi single!
w00t
SWISHER BOMB!!!!!!!!!!!1
hell yeah
Swisher = Streaky
SWISH!!!!!
Damn I was gonna call that Homer but Swish beat me
Where did this guy come from…..
Homeruns without finishing the swing..
I dig it.
garza reeeeeeeeeaaaaly needs to shave
KAY = TERRIBLE
I hate Michael Kay.
Me too.
Hi my name is Michael “Every hard hit ball gets the homerun call” Kay
it was pretty close
This isn’t a one time thing bro. notice “EVERY”
Yeah, but complaining NOW makes it clear that this call bugged you too, and you’re overreacting.
Okay, so should I only complain when it’s really bad? Consistency is my motto. The guy had about 3 or 4 false calls yesterday.
Yeah, you can’t complain about that one. It was so close. Of all the mistake calls he has ever made, that one was hardly very egregious.
I don’t disagree, but his name is still Michael “Every hard hit ball gets the homerun call” Kay. I mean, how many times do we hear, “Driven deeeeeep to right/left/center field, caught?”
the jeter call hurt the most yesterday…would’ve tied it but thankfully we still did
Yeah, seriously. It was what…three seats over from the foul pole after slicing to the right late?
Yeah, but he never even mentioned in his call that it was near the foul pole. I did not pick the ball up right away, and his call basically led me to believe that fair or foul was not an issue.
well its your fault you didn’t see the ball
Are you serious?What exactly is the point of a play by play man on a televised game, if not to tell you from a better perspective what is happening. Don’t be silly.
dude, the ball missed the foul pole by like 3 seats. what is he supposed to do, read what path the ball is going to take?
Tell me that the ball is near the line. Give some inkling that the foul line is an issue.
Have you ever listened to Michael Kay? This was certainly far from his worst offense. One close call isn’t the root of our complaints.
I would love for him to add to his repertoire, “if it stays fair” or “if it has the height” or “if it has the distance,” his problem is he jumps right into the HR call.
I’ve never seen so many people defend Michael Kay. Wacky and wild stuff.
Yes defense of him is indefensible. He’s so bad. Let’s make him an 8th inning guy and be done with it.
lets go teix, bring damonator home
wow, arod flashing some leather finally.
love his progress
Brilliant play by A-Rod
Joba is fucking nasty.. it’s not even fair for the hitters. Can someone say ace?
So what’s Joba’s repertoire: 4-seam, curve, slider, changeup
doesn’t he also have a 2-seamer?
yeah but he hasn’t throw the 2 seamer as of late. The change he only drops like 2 times a game, if that.
And a little seen, but devastating 9-seamer.
wow tommy hanson no no thru 3 and 1/3.
should i add him in fantasy? Or too much growing pains?
uh, YES. i’m surprised hes still available.
is it his 1st or 2nd start?
first, major league debut
wow
1st
I’m just wondering, has David Cone ever said he thinks Joba should be in the pen?
Nope, pretty sure he wants him in the rotation.
That’s good.
I know it’s only the 4th, but c’mon I want to get Joba a nice lead!
Maybe they’ll throw at Teix and rile us up.
I can’t complain too much about Robbie there.
Man Dice-K sucks, and of course the Yankees dont get to face him next week.
Ha sick, 4-0 thru 2.5
Lady luck dumped him.
What is the deal with B.J. Upton? He has gone down offensively since that ’07 season.
His SLG has dropped 180 points since then. It isn’t a very small sample either. He does have 200 AB this year.
whoops wrong place sorry
hanson gave up a homer to braun
only 1 ER though because of yunel’s error
lol Swish is anything but smooth at times.
the swisher hops in right field are never comfortable lol
lalooshian
Joba getting it up to 94
Joba thought it was youkilis.
Holy shit. this is like the 5th game in a row with an error. Talk about a stat correction.
The Yankees are starting a new streak on defense….
come on joba. pick up jorge
Not too much damage, only a few extra pitches. Way to go Jober.
we’re so winning this game
Nice job Joba to pick up ya catcher.
Shit, bases loaded for Sox.
They are on the verge of tieing the game now.
ian kinsler fail
stupid kinsler
Okay, Omar Vizquel is a moron. Had Elsbury beat at second and didn’t even try to tag because he thought he was staying at first.
byrd threw a damon-like throw into second base too
and kinsler had the ball off his toe.
thats like 3 errors in one play
Swisher maybe streaky but he’s a better player than Nady no?
yes, better OBP
Probably, but when Swish is on a cold streak, giving him a day or a two off would be ideal. Who knows, maybe Nady will get hot. As we see this year, a little competition between starters and bench guys is great.
omg don’t bunt please.
ha youk got caught diving in to get HBP
what was that jeter
Why bunt, send the runners, it’s derek jeter.
Seriously. Horrendous call by Girardi. It’s DEREK JETER. I know he GIDPs a lot, but this guy can’t throw strikes right now…you’re going to hand him two?
you dont know thats girardi, jeter bunts by himself all the time
Then you give him the swing-away sign. Don’t LET him bunt on his own after he makes that first abortive attempt.
just how Girardi TOLD mariano to walk longoria
Jeter does that shit on his own. And that’s why Jeter would make a horrible manager.
small ball makes him a horrible manager, then why do we love mike scioscia whenever angels are in town?
Have to make him pay for these walks
Not by sac bunting
Well Texas got out of it, they better win
impressed by padilla, had bases loaded twice in one inning, only gave up 2 runs and he should have been out of it with double play
Jeter should not be sacrificing in the middle of the game.
Made no sense. The guy just walked two batters to lead off an inning, why give him outs, or strikes in that case.
Very tough spot there. I’m no fan of giving up outs, but you also have to consider Jeter’s propensity for hitting into double plays. But…I still think you let him hit.
way to hustle melky
Every time Jeter tries to bunt, God kills a puppy. Please, won’t someone think of the puppies?
We need a puppy counter on this website.
should’ve let him hit…cmon Tex get at least a sac fly
whoops, go damon
The theory of bunting there makes sense- pitchers duel, put two guys in scoring position. However, with Garza’s pitch count up and the weak Tampa bullen, I’m not sure it makes sense to limit the inning.
you cant count on the bullpen, those guys are going to have good days sometimes. 1-1 ball game and only had 2 hits all day, sac bunt moves the guys up so now a single gets 2 runs in or atleast get a sac fly
They’re worse pitchers than Garza, AND Garza is having trouble throwing strikes. Derek Jeter is a 300+ hitter with an OBP near 400. Sac bunting with him is a terrible idea. Hit and run would be reasonable, if you’re so worried about his ability to avoid the DP.
See?
Handing them outs leaves you open to THIS. Fluke with Damon, and now you need a 2-out hit.
Wrong call, Girardi.
Still the right call.
Damon and Tex didnt get the job done
Well, the data disagrees with you, though you’ll probably pooh-pooh that because you don’t understand it, so let’s talk game situation.
Guy on the mound JUST WALKED two straight batters. Your leadoff man, a hall-of-fame offensive shortstop is coming to the plate. You immediately think…bunt?
What?
The guy isn’t throwing strikes, one of the better contact-hitters in baseball over the last ten-plus years at the plate.
Sac-bunt?? Nope. Bad call.
I’m not saying you bunt the first pitch, you obviously take but that’s on Jeter to not bunt at a pitch at his eyes.
Guy on first and second, 0 outs and your team have 2 hits all game, the guy at bat isnt your cleanup guy, he’s been laying down bunts for a decade. a sac bunt makes a single score two runs and a sac fly score one.
jeter ended up grounding out. let me ask you this, if jeter went up there and swung and grounded out how many here would blame girardi for not using small ball?
Not many people would complain that we didn’t bunt. We would be mad that Jeter didn’t get it done, not Joe for not playing small ball which you seem to love.
Not me. I would’ve been pissed at Jeter for not taking a pitch.
You seem to be projecting your own beliefs onto the rest of us. _You_ might have been pissed at Girardi for not using small-ball. I maybe would have thought that he should have put the hit-and-run on, but I mostly would have been pissed at Jeter for not making Garza come to him.
what did people bitch about all offseason and the last 3 years? we have no speed, station-to-station, all home run hitters, etc.
0 outs, guy on first and second, tie game and your team has 2 hits and probably your best bunter at bat. if thats not the time to bunt then theres no correct time to bunt
You enjoy saying “everyone” a lot.
how many times was it said?
Dunno, you can count if you like. See, when you say “everyone” you include me. I’d rather not have my opinion lumped into a mass crowd. You may be more effective saying most people, or a lot of people.
i wish you would actually READ my comments because i said the word ‘everyone’ a grand total of ZERO times
*Garza was also approaching 100 pitches.
Great ab by Damon.
come on tex
Ugh, not to beat a dead horse, but if we get out of this inning with nothing I’m gonna be pissed at Joey G.
what are you plans if we score?
My “plan?” Uh, I would’ve been happy because my complaint would be moot.
you said you were going to be pissed at Girardi so if it worked i hope you would have praised Girardi for playing good small ball- since whenever we play the Angels we’re in love with that and say we should be more like that
I don’t. Maybe you do.
I have no problem with the hit-and-run in the right situations, I have no problem with having speedy players that can swipe bags with > 75% success.
That does not require me to like the sac-bunt.
Lol no I wouldn’t have praised him because it didn’t work. Jeter didn’t get what Joe wanted done. Like I said, if we scored my complaint would’ve been moot.
If you want to play like the Angels that’s on you. I don’t know who “everyone” is but speak for yourself.
yeah okay, keeps your eyes here next time we play the angels
I watch us every time we play the Angels. Different rosters allow for different strategies. But just for you, I won’t watch those series with my eyes closed. lol give me a break.
“Different rosters allow for different strategies. ”
jeter’s probably the best bunter on the team, its not posada was at bat.
Dude, I DISAGREE WITH BUNTING THERE. You don’t have to agree with my opinion. You’re telling me to watch the angels because they play small ball. They do not have the NY Yankees roster. Different rosters allow for different strategies. Are you watching this series? Tampa sends almost every runner. We can’t send almost every runner.
That’s not what i said-
I said keep your eyes here, as in RAB comment section next time we play angels
It’s better to be playing with strategy in June than in August.
But it’s not a strategy worth trying at this point in the game, if there’s ever a point in the game that it would’ve been a good idea.
He apparently disagrees. Joe’s a wonk and he’s going to try different things at different times.
I’m pissed at Arod.
What, did he distract Tex from the on-deck circle?
He was tipping that Jeter was going to bunt against Garza from the bench.
They could have seen that from another galaxy.
You’d think so but no. People forget who was really responsible for the Pine Tar incident.
I’m pissed at Anthill Berroa. Because, well why not?
let’s go Big tex
Lets go Joba.
Well I think they’ve figured out that Ben Zobrist loves the fastball. Just throwing him junk all game
Love me some Melky.
leche!!!
The Melky Man!!!!!
Gardner over runs that ball. lol
Regardless of the outcome, I am ready to see more Joba and Hughes and less Pettitte.
Wang I like but it would be great if the Yankees could get something in a trade for Wang.
if you were a gm of another team would you trade for wang? and what would you give up?
Now? Nothing.
If he returns to form by the end of the year and the trade happens this offseason…I’d expect the return to approximate what CC brought back. Matt LaPorta-ish hitter. Or maybe someone at a tougher position but further away from the bigs. One blue-chip central piece, though.
Seriously. I’m kinda pissed at them for not telling Pettitte to sit his balky back on the bench for a start and letting a healthy pitcher throw that game the other day.
Me too on the first part, unfortunately I doubt AP will be tossed aside for Philly.
As for Wanger, he’s one of my faves and trading him at his lowest value wouldn’t net us much.
tommy hanson being welcomed to the bigs
That was a strike.
cmon Jobber
ugh
fuck
So, when do we start playing the AL central and west again?
this could end up being a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng week and lucky me I am going on vacation in red sox country tues yippee
Or at least Toronto and Baltimore. Can’t beat teh serious teams.
Well, looks like the offense might have to wake up a bit in this game
Tampa has the Yankees number. Just can’t seem to beat this team.
Nah, we can.
How did they score!?!? They didn’t even bunt!!!!!
lol
not a fan of that shift right there
That 2-run hit hurts, especially since Chamberlain is laboring to locate his fastball and is around 100 pitches. Umm why not get Hughes up instead of Acie?
Agreed, this has Hughes written all over it
yankees have 12 more outs and have shown all year they can come back. why are people giving up?
don’t know. it’s annoying.
They have to face Joe Nelson and the rest of the unhittable Rays pen. It’s ovah. Just think that they have Dan Wheeler and Randy Choate ready to close the game!!!
I don’t think it is giving up, it is the lack of offense in prime situations rearing its ugly head again. Cost them yesterday and last inning.
Maybe I’m wrong but I only read like one post that kind of threw in the towel. Today is much much better than the usual oaktag on RAB.
because yankee fans live on a pitch-to-pitch basis.
arod took a strike!?!?! WTF HIT A HR!
joba threw a ball!??! WTF YOU SUCK
and so on
joba fucked up there, but if girardi didn’t screw us over with fuckin sac bunts and/or tex came through, we coulda been tied.
U do know that Jeter did that shit on his own. Wh the hell would Girardi ask Jeter one his best hitters to bunt?
I’m reading this as sarcasm. Correct me if I’m wrong.
Bro, I don’t know for sure but it wouldn’t be the first move Joe made that made us scratch our head. We’ll find out in the post game probably.
dude, it was girardi. why? cause he overmanages too much.
But teh small ball!!11!
another shutout for halliday
that guy is amazing
Jays without him are an under .500 team.
he is a beast!
WTF Garza is out????? Thank You Maddon!!!!
sweet battle of thhe bullpens yanks win 12-10
LMAO
Fucking 2-0 count and Arod does that. Which followed Tex’s beautiful ab after being up 3-0. Man sometimes these guys really are frustrating to watch!!!!
well that was an awesome inning I take it back 8-7 yanks win
He swung at a 2-0 pitch up in the zone and missed it. That was a very good pitch to hit, there is no reason for him to lay off of that.
Is it just me or does Joe Nelson seem like the Ray’s version of Edwar Ramirez? Incredibly below-average fastball and a great change-up
don’t forget the high era so yeah good comp
edwar is much worse
How so? Edwar was pretty good last season
Short memories…
Wow no Hughes?
He is only on 7 days rest. He needs more dust to collect before he is brought into a game.
Why no Hughes?
Looks like it’s going to be another ND for Jober… So frustrating, I know the Win stat is over-rated but I’d love for him to get some more.
sorry phil, joe wants you to turn into a corpse
*not a reply
These Tampa bench players are fuckin killing us.
Dude I just found out that Brad Pitt will play Billy Beane in the movie money ball…WTF. Achillies will play BILLY BEANE?
I loved him as Achilles. Loved that movie period, although Orlando Bloom’s character really was a pussy.
Ever read the Iliad? Many times more entertaining than the film IMO.
Oh Im sure it is. Most books are more entertaining than the movies made of them.
Check it out sometime. Most epic, grueling, poetic war story of all time. Again IMO.
They are actually doing the Odyssey so I am looking forward to see how that comes out…And word, Brad Pit OWNED as Achillies, not to Mention Eric Bana was kick ass as Hector (and RULED in Munich!)
This is ridiculous. If Girardi’s not going to use Hughes, send him back to Scranton.
Agreed, it’s one thing to do it with Wang when you’re up against a wall but Hughes has no business being wasted like this
you have 3 innings to complete today and a question mark tomorrow
if Pettite back is still bothering him and has another 6BB in him and only last 4innings do you want to use aceves, robertson and someone else to clean it up or just use hughes and have everyone fresh for boston?
Pettitte* I think tomorrow Phil will be on 8 days rest.
Nah he pitched the 31st so it would be 7 full days of rest.
never spell his name right.
yeah he should have had some work before, but is there a difference in 7 days of rest and 8 days of rest?
not too much of a difference but I didn’t want to give false info.. Inning over, let’s see who Joe goes to. I’d like to have Alf available tomorrow for an inning or two.
Totally agreed.
this stirke zone is a joke
oh good phil coke is warming I was feeling this game was too low scoring
Again, where the hell is Hughes? Hughes>>>>>>>>Coke
my grandmother>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>coke
Nice view of Phil Hughes wasting away in the bullpen. Even Cone is saying he should be in now. If not now then when.
only thing I can possibly think of is he is saving him for if andy blows again tomorrow
Yeah, but you could save Aceves for that situation as well. At least if you put Hughes in here, you’re guaranteed to get him three innings unless he’s horrible
no argument here
david cone adds a ton of value to this booth
So.. um.. is there any reason Hughes isn’t being used here? Just, uh, planning on him sit out there in the bullpen for a few weeks?
Saving him for Wed to come in after Wang is lit up in Fenway.
U have Aceves for that. If ur waiting that long, Hughes would be really rusty by then. I thought today was the perfect time to try him out.
use Aceves today. use Hughes tomorrow, might need 4+ innings. use aceves wednesday
Why use Hughes when Girardi has Proctor…I mean Aceves at his disposal.
nah I think coke is way more girardi’s proctor than al
This game is winnable but being down 2 runs feels like being down 6 runs the way we’re hitting…
Hip Hip
here we go this is the inning
as a side note randy choate wtf????????????/
I wonder if Melky has any of that late inning magic Leche(Awkward I know.)
of course he does
aceves is awesome
spillover thread?
we’re winning this game
Who starts the rally? I go with Matsui, he’s due.
Jeter with a bunt hit. Bunting is the only way to score runs.
this ump’s zone is awful
Alf for another inning? Or do we see Hughes.
Jesus Christ how many weak flyballs are they gonna hit when up 2-0 and 3-1 in the count fuck.
Lamesauce.
we gotta win this game. Tampa is gainin momentum and i don’t want them in the race.
Jeter Starts the Rally next inning!
Yankees made Joe Nelson look like an All-Star.
