PAWTUCKET, R.I. (WPRI) – Police arrested two Pawtucket men Friday morning after officers say they caught the suspects red-handed stealing rims right off a BMW belonging to Red Sox pitching prospect Clay Buchholz.
well, they get have them get excited somehow, though I’m sure some of the fans probably dropped their chips, messed up the timing, got hurt, traded potato chips for dirt and basically blew up (their bags that is).
I think Diddy should copy the Jay Gatsby character, not Frank Sinatra. It jusn’t doesn’t feel right for him. It’s like Michael Buble being in the Wu Tang.
Help me out here–Joba’s got 95 MPH heat, and an awesome slider. He’s facing a lineup who’s best hitter is a washed-up Bobby Abreu. And he had a three run lead before throwing a pitch.
ok, we all know hughes and joba should start but which configuration would you choose: Joba starter & hughes reliever or Joba reliever and Hughes starter?
Joba starter. He has had sustained success as a major league starter. While Hughes hasn’t been given as much of a chance, he hasn’t. Luckily it won’t come down to that, and we’ll see them both in the rotation for years to come.
So, I am listening to these Angels bozos (is this permanent that MLB.tv is not carrying YES now?), and they are brutal. They are failing all over themselves praising Mathis for his bunt. Are you serious?
Then Hudler says, essentially, Joba is not athletic off the mound (wrong!), and he is not used to throwing every five days, so he’s not really ready to make plays (wrong!).
This is like listening to fingernails. Please tell me I’ll get YES on Sunday…PLEASE!
I’m watching the YES feed but initially had the same problem you had until someone told my just to move the cursor over the feed so you get that box that pops up and on the top right it should show the feed, in this case FSW, click it and choose YES.
I hope some people gave him shit. Maybe he should have waited to see if the slump lasted more than two weeks before he put his journalistic integrity on the line and made an ass of himself.
So is anyone else’s StatTracker all screwed up this week? Like 30 minutes behind. Has the game in the bottom of the 3rd right now, pissing me off royally.
Your right, it doesn’t matter for a 25th man, just a matter of preference. In the long run neither will matter in long term plans other than a bench role or trade inclusion.
Really, Cody? He seems like a great guy, but how much longer is the rope? It would be one thing if he was even fielding decently, but he’s been a butcher in the field too.
Personally I don’t care so much that he’s struggling but I don’t like how much playing time he’s getting. Did Jeter REEEEAAALLY need to DH tonight? Give me a break. That’s on Joe.
Why should he? I think Jeter’s been known to play some games from time to time.
You all want to give players their days off (or half days) the series before the All Star break and get more looks at Cody Ransom…well more power to you.
Ok I get it. You want Jeter to DH tonight and get his rest in so he can play 4 innings in 4 days because the All Star game is more important than putting the best team on the field. We’re making excuses for Cody Ransom to play now. I misunderstood.
Jeter doesn’t need to – and shouldn’t – be DHing tonight. There’s a period after that sentence.
Funny, as the inning was unfolding, I was thinking to myself, “What I wouldn’t give for Jorge Posada to jog out to the mound and tell him to calm the fuck down and keep focused on attacking the hitters”.
Joba’s developed a nasty habit this year of letting errors, misplays, and bad calls screw with his focus to the subsequent hitters. You’ve gotta shake that shit off.
Not over reacting I am just not convinced Joba is right. But what do I know. Stats tell EVERYTHING about a pitcher. the human eye knows nothing. So Eiland and Girardi will just look at the stats and say, “Ah, he is just fine. Right where he should be.”
This bum is REGRESSING. Every start now seems worse than the previous one.
Cashman better take notice and wake the fuck up with these Halladay rumblings. If he thinks he can win with CC, AJ and a prayer in October, he is sorely mistaken. Our 3,4,5 pitchers are a fuckin joke. Absolutely no faith, whatsoever, that any of those stooges could make it past the 5th inning in any start they throw.
p.s. its games like this (where Joba gives up 5 runs, but only 2/3 earned b/c of errors) why his ERA is so misleading. Anyway who actually believes Joba is a legit 4.0 era pitcher is either kidding themselves or severely delusional.

of course he does. If a 23 year old pitcher can’t pitch great every start then we should give up on him and call him horrible. Welcome to the world of developing pitchers. Patience is your friend.
I had great stuff today. The Angels just have a good lineup. It’s not a big deal because, at the end of the day, the sun comes up tomorrow and I still have a job.
LETS GET IT YANKEES!
gameday has joba at 93-95… but game has 88-92?
yeah its annoying
how about Yes Gameday?
Response #653: YES’s gun has been screwed up all season
In fairness, it has been better the last month, today it’s back to being wrong.
yeah but does it have to be pointed out/asked about every time a pitch is off?
um in the name of our network…
YES!
never trust YES
Except for the YES Network® Blogging Network™, of course.
heh I meant their gun
maybe everyone should worry more about location and less about velocity
Karma strikes again.
PAWTUCKET, R.I. (WPRI) – Police arrested two Pawtucket men Friday morning after officers say they caught the suspects red-handed stealing rims right off a BMW belonging to Red Sox pitching prospect Clay Buchholz.
oops
+1
They shoulda popped the trunk. All sorts of red hot computer goods in there.
hey shut it narc I’m getting a new lappy
That was a quick spillover thread.
I wanna score more just in case
Saunders is settling down nicely…expect him to go 7.2 tonight
Yeah if he’s on a 200 pitch count limit
Angels recently hire Dusty Baker?
watch out, when the reds fire him soon he could be on an AL team near you!
We can only hope.
Maybe the O’s or Rays can hire him so he can ruin all those promising young arms.
Maybe he can be a roving manager for the Sox, O’s and Rays.
Jays, too.
Ricky Romero scares me.
I’ll hold off on the Jays, unless we trade for Halladay.
i would give anything for that
you’re kidding, right?
you seen his pitch count?
He’s already at 70 pitches.
not unless he throws like 5-6 pitches per inning
“He was ready to go at 3:30.” Yes Flash, maybe if you were ready 3 hours before the game you wouldn’t be so awful.
+1
O/U pujols 60 HR?
under
he finishes with 56
O/U 140 BB is the question (he has 71)
Under. He gets busted for juicing.
That.
I wonder what Tom Verducci will do if Joe Mauer ever got busted for teh roids.
Awful sentence. Verb tense fail.
Under, guys will stop pitching to him.
Ok, then o/u on 200 BB+HR
Jobber gave up anudda run as a stawtah. Put em back in na bullpen where he belongs. How did Jobber become Jobber? The phenom in na bullpen. Dats how
I really like Brandon Inge.
get out of the thread susan waldman. you’re kind is not welcomed here.
Is that you Mike Francesa?
The momentum has turned fellows
360 degrees baby
stop changing names K9
Aight Jober, let’s go get the top of the order.
[...] Make sure you scroll down for tonight’s game thread. [...]
Mike Scoscia’s tragic illness makes me smile.
Ransom what the eff was that you moron
Can someone please explain to me why Melky is playing in San Diego?
To keep him further away from Mary Carey?
Heh IETC
Mary: “What are you eating Melky?”
Melky:”Not you, that’s dangerous”
to catch that.
So he can stay classy.
Melky got back to the ball nicely…and Abreu got a tad under it I guess.
phew
i thought abreu hit that out of the park
Anyone make out what Molina’s chest protector says?
I know Posada’s says “Posada” so I’m assuming Molina’s says “Molina.”
It says “I know how to call a game, just look at my CERA”
It says “Bengie”
I took a quick glance before and it looked a bit longer.
pimp
DON’T TEST ME BRO!
Extreme fail on my part it does say Molina, but it has #26 at the end.
Joba Chamberlain makes grown men look silly.
The arousal level is increasing.
If it lasts 4 hours contact a Dr.
Does anyone else think that Joba looks much thinner?
B-Jobber? Bulimic-Jobber?
wow joba was philthy that inning
52 pitches through 3 is a bit disappointing after that 9 pitch first inning
hey at least he’s not joe saunders!
1 bad inning…oh well i’ll take it.
Joba pitching well, i’ll take that 1 bad second inning.
How dare he give up a run.
you are assuming that he won’t have any more bad innings?
Wow, anyone see the Mets had all the fans in the stadium eat a potato chip at the same time to set a world record?
Hey they gotta do somethng to entertain the fans. Their baseball team isn’t doing that.
Truth.
well, they get have them get excited somehow, though I’m sure some of the fans probably dropped their chips, messed up the timing, got hurt, traded potato chips for dirt and basically blew up (their bags that is).
Bartolo and Nolan Ryan? I know I’m at least half right.
What was the question
I don’t think Nolan ever won a CY.
He never did correct.
Nope. 3 top 3 finishes. Overrated juicer.
The Mets should sign Fernando.
He does not hope. HE DOES.
“he likes the pitch ‘belt high and right over the plate’”
-what batter doesnt like that pitch?
pena is just sitting in the swb locker room saying cody fing ransom seriously fuck my life
Does P. Diddy think he’s in The Rat Pack?
Did Howard Stern really think he was the King of All Media when he first started calling himself that?
I’m not defending the Rat Pack, I thought they were a bit douchey.
Now, the Brat Pack, there was a great group of actors. Some of the finest entertainers we’ve ever seen.
Sincerely,
Andrew McCarthy
I think Diddy should copy the Jay Gatsby character, not Frank Sinatra. It jusn’t doesn’t feel right for him. It’s like Michael Buble being in the Wu Tang.
Help me out here–Joba’s got 95 MPH heat, and an awesome slider. He’s facing a lineup who’s best hitter is a washed-up Bobby Abreu. And he had a three run lead before throwing a pitch.
So how has he thrown 52 pitches in 3 innings?
ok, we all know hughes and joba should start but which configuration would you choose: Joba starter & hughes reliever or Joba reliever and Hughes starter?
we wont have that problem with andy pettite gone next year
I vote for Monty Brewster:
None of the above.
Joba starter. He has had sustained success as a major league starter. While Hughes hasn’t been given as much of a chance, he hasn’t. Luckily it won’t come down to that, and we’ll see them both in the rotation for years to come.
i know he needs the playing time, but pena>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ransom
ransom can blow chunks
Oh you can just go to hell Bobby.
Bobby Abreu + range? I don’t believe you.
Bobby within 5 feet of a wall? I call shenanigans.
jeter is incredible
molina likes tacos
Jeter is having a pretty good night. The only thing missing is banging out another model/actress.
Well, he is DHing. He’s got time between at bats.
It’s only 8:25 pm in Anaheim right now.
Give him some time.
he’s in orange county! He’ll get his actress tonight
all five of the real housewives
Ugh. No. Those hags are beneath him.
That’s ARod’s style.
wishful thinking. i don’t want him distracting minka kelly from her great work on friday night lights
Who does he get tonight? Megan Fox?
i thought he had his hands full with minka kelly?
She’s small. That only takes one hand.
i’d rather him try for megan fox
Pfft, Jeter don’t stick with only one.
Bobby couldn’t possibly have known where the wall was
John Flaherty is talking way too much.
Joba you ignorant slut!
You think we see Melancon tonight?
Yes.
i hope not
lets hope he’s not needed
He’ll pitch the 9th.
We’ll have at least a 6 run lead, that’s not a save situation.
61 pitches with 2 on no out in the 4th we’re in the pen tonight for sure
What the hell? I move to Cleveland, but MLB.tv says I am still in-market?
is your account updated?
yeah do what zach says and update your account and credit card information
I’ll six strong from Joba tonight
Joba’s fastball has been average tonight?
lol. Oh Flash…
Joba has become quite boring.
I know I will get slammed here but agreed
coughyourmomhasbecomequiteboringcough
I agree. He is frustrating to watch can you imagine having to play defense behind him.
I think something is up with him. He is either hurt or holding back, neither of which is good for this team.
hes been hitting 95 all game dude
Hmm. You must have a different feed than I do because the YES says 89-92.
yes, and this has been point of discussion 10x for each game. YES’s gun is messed up, pay attention to gameday for velocity
Or just stop paying attention to velocity so much.
valid point, but if people are going to bitch about it atleast get the velocity correct
thank you. I am looking at his inconsistent location, how he loses focus on his windup, not his speed.
you were just complaining how he must be hurt or holding back and only hitting 89-92
I HATE GROUNDBALL SINGLES!
Double Play please
What a stupid bunt.
Yeah but the little ball (and Alex Cora) wins games!1!111!
Thank you for bunting, Mike Scioscia. I love you.
The Angels are good for 2 or 3 free outs cuz of their “aggressive baserunning” or “playing small ball”.
The Angels: The Anti Sabmetric team.
Give me one more out and I think he’ll cruise.
love the lazy cano
Damn lazy players.
Great catch Robbie!
I luv when Robi smiles, and when joba pumps fists
what an IDIOTIC bunt and an EXCELLENTE PLAY by robbie cano!
Strikeout + horrendously dumb bunt + sweet leather from a lazy Dominican going through the motions = inning over.
love those 2 pitches – 2 outs sequences
shyt i thought that was gunna fall in.
LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, YOUR GOLD GLOVE SECOND BASEMEN ROBBY CANO
Ellis would like to have a chat wit u.
Can’t compete in the grit factor.
Thank You Aybar and Bunting Scioscia
BTW Who is excited for Entourage on Sunday Night? Can’t wait to see how Vince screws up a Scorsese flick.
Entourage = a root canal
You=Corbin Bernsen in The Dentist
Entourage = The Dentist = Corbin Bernsen
I’ll ask for the 1st time tonight but the billionth time in my head. How is there no room in the Angels lineup for Wood?
That’s what she said.
Had to get that out of the way.
I have to honestly ask – what would the Yankees have to give up for him?
How the hell did that go out?
that was absurd
So, I am listening to these Angels bozos (is this permanent that MLB.tv is not carrying YES now?), and they are brutal. They are failing all over themselves praising Mathis for his bunt. Are you serious?
Then Hudler says, essentially, Joba is not athletic off the mound (wrong!), and he is not used to throwing every five days, so he’s not really ready to make plays (wrong!).
This is like listening to fingernails. Please tell me I’ll get YES on Sunday…PLEASE!
they are carrying yes. I am watching yes right now
just use this link and choose YES network
http://mlb.mlb.com/flash/media.....b&
I’ve tried it 3 times already. I’ll try it again at the commercial. You are out of market?
yeah i live in college station, tx
try logging out and logging back in. That’s what they tell me every single time i call support.
I’m watching the YES feed but initially had the same problem you had until someone told my just to move the cursor over the feed so you get that box that pops up and on the top right it should show the feed, in this case FSW, click it and choose YES.
Hope I explained that well enough.
do what this guy said too
Nails Krzyzewski >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Buster Olney and Jayson Stark
An A-Bomb from A-Rod!
Did A-Rod just hit a ball 410 feet by flicking his wrists? Wow.
Alex Rodriguez is so much more manly than anyone on the field right now.
crazy
He half swung. Half swung.
He looks like a first baseman.
Im surprise he swung at all. HE CAN’T MOVE!!!
SEEEE YA!!!
AN AAAAAAA BOMB! FROM AAAAAA ROD!!!
HOLY SHIT I THOUGHT THAT WAS A FLY BALL
Al>>>>Joe
A-Rod can’t move anymore, he’s slow, and he’s finish I tell ya, finish.
Onley’D
Yeahhhhh A-Rod!!!!
Alex
Steep decline.
What is this guy on!?
Kate Hudson
mmm, Kate
FREAK!!!!!!
A-Rod that is unreal
Who is Gary Mathews geeking there? His pitcher?
or deeking. whatever.
STERIODS
(shakes head in disgust)
That ARod bomb looked like a lazy popup. Damn.
He and Manny are the only two hitters I’ve ever seen do that.
FEAR THE MELKMAN
Can anyone pinch hit for Ransom?
how about that phillies fan in that cole hamels commercial?
oh no how dare you challenge ransom
Now watch Ransom make him pay.
Baseball is a funny game.
Thanks john sterling.
Heh.
I kid because I <3
man cano crushed that sheet
if cody gets a hit, does sterling say he sent a ransom note?
IRETC
Isn’t Joe Saunders the one that said A-rod shouldn’t be in the All-Star game? Take that Saunders.
COdy will crush a fastball
okay okay, me = fail
Cody, they’re walking Melky intentionally to get to you. That’s a sign that it’s time to start hitting.
Flash: “I was not a good hitter”
I’d still rather have him up there than ransom.
Hey Flash was pretty damn brutal.
It would of been funny if he said that quoute and Singleton said something like “Like no doubt it”. lol.
Where on gameday does it say average fastball velocity? All it says is N/A. Sorry if this is a stupid question lol.
Make them pay, Ransom.
I love how Olney defended himself by reporting “only what he’d heard” What a crock.
When did that come out?
His defense? I think in a chat a few days after he started going on a tear.
I hope some people gave him shit. Maybe he should have waited to see if the slump lasted more than two weeks before he put his journalistic integrity on the line and made an ass of himself.
I think it was in one of his chats.
They never would’ve walked Melky to get to Ransom if they knew he could jump on top of boxes. Scioscia needs to watch some Youtube.
Cavorting with gubernatorial candidate pornstars >>>>>>> jumping on boxes
You just said gubernatorial. Ehhhhheheh.
jumping on boxes. heh heh heh
Touché.
That was such a great video. Can Melky even understand English? I bet he can say “We fuck now.”.
So is anyone else’s StatTracker all screwed up this week? Like 30 minutes behind. Has the game in the bottom of the 3rd right now, pissing me off royally.
ladies and gentlemen cody fing ransom
That was some sweet punchout from CB Bucknor.
ransom you are a complete idiot
Still not sold on keeping Ransom rather than Pena.
Nobody is.
It doesn’t matter, though. It’s pretty moot.
For the 25th man on the roster, it doesn’t matter.
I don’t get why people care so fucking much about Pena vs. Ransom, Molina vs. Cervelli, and (someone) vs. Tomko.
I heard that Cody Ransom’s menstruation attracts bears. The bears can smell the menstruation.
So why not just have you and me on the team for that matter?
isn’t the point to have the best team on the field
Yepp, and we have the second best in baseball.
It is.
We’re not complaining that people want Peña over Ransom.
We’re complaining that people are complaining about it so repeatedly and so incessantly and so vehemently.
Your right, it doesn’t matter for a 25th man, just a matter of preference. In the long run neither will matter in long term plans other than a bench role or trade inclusion.
Strike 1 was a ball. Foul ball was the same pitch. Can’t fault him for a bad umpire in that AB.
not only can’t ransom hit off speed pitches, breaking pitches… he can’t hit 90 mph fastballs down the middle.
please… DFA THIS GUY.
Really, Cody? He seems like a great guy, but how much longer is the rope? It would be one thing if he was even fielding decently, but he’s been a butcher in the field too.
Grudzielanek anyone?
That ship has sailed.
OMG please DFA this guy!
Look, Cody Ransom is not good baseball player but gettin all hot heated that he’s struggling is quite petty.
Personally I don’t care so much that he’s struggling but I don’t like how much playing time he’s getting. Did Jeter REEEEAAALLY need to DH tonight? Give me a break. That’s on Joe.
So Jeter is never getting a day off now?
lol why shouldn’t he DH?
Why should he? I think Jeter’s been known to play some games from time to time.
You all want to give players their days off (or half days) the series before the All Star break and get more looks at Cody Ransom…well more power to you.
You do know Derek Jeter is in the all star game, right?
Ok I get it. You want Jeter to DH tonight and get his rest in so he can play 4 innings in 4 days because the All Star game is more important than putting the best team on the field. We’re making excuses for Cody Ransom to play now. I misunderstood.
Jeter doesn’t need to – and shouldn’t – be DHing tonight. There’s a period after that sentence.
True, he shouldn’t get any half days off, after all, he is the most overpaid player in baseball. Note: Period at the end of that sentence.
Did Jeter REEEEAAALLY need to DH tonight?
Yes.
I’m sorry the answer we were looking for is no. No.
Players need rest. This is an immutable law of baseball.
I hate dinky BS hits.
Jeter would have dove in his Supersuit can caught that.
while banging jessica alba
Nice call.
it’s 5-1. who cares if he steals?
because you dont give away bases, 4 run lead with 5 innings to go
not saying you give it away, just concentrate on the batter. joba starts slowing down, bad things happen
pitching with runners on base and varying his timing is something he needs to learn/work on to continue to grow as a pitcher
I’ve noticed if Jeter was at SS now, he could have prevented like 3 hits..
2009 Jeter?
out another great call
The throw beat him too. The tag did too, but the tag is immaterial.
figgins was effing out
He was out. Nice throw Molina.
Guys, trust me, he was safe. The ball beat him before he got to 2nd base
what?
oh man you gotta go back to toronto games to get that one
lol
Well done sir.
IETC.
You know whats great since Kay is not doing a game while the angels are playing.
I don’t have to hear him say “Hey who does Figgins look like?” “He looks like Wille Randolph”
We get it Kay. You say it every year.
Someone needs to tell Flash not to drink the YES gun Koolaid.
Umpires are shitty. I hate them.
alright joba… get it together
god i hate bobby abreu
Shockingly, the Angels’ guys didn’t notice Figgins was out.
great stop by molina
Chamberlain is makin Rivera his bitch wit them sliders.
that guy is fooled like a loon!
Why are the infielders not getting these groundballs? I’m using gamday so I don’t know how hard they’re being hit, but SERIOUSLY.
its cody ransom
he sucks
Bobby Abreu is still surprisingly fast.
Come on, Joba. GEt through this inning.
damn it!
bobby abreu seems to be the ultimate “zero stat” guy, however. 50 runs and 50 walks?
and the angels aren’t even that great…
when was the last time joab got a swing and miss on a fastball… but ya. gameday must always be right…
Joba got away with a hanger.
So how do you get Joba to stop waisting so many pitches. 88 through 4 2/3
Patience.
sorry 89 4 1/3
You spelled wasting wrong too.
AAA
Umpires make the right calls at 2nd and Alex make good throws to 1st.
oh damn a-rod
shit
Joba is imploding here.
imploding as in getting a ground ball directly hit to your 3B?
fuck
This looks like last Sunday.
Maybe Joba learned something from Mussina about dealing with errors behind you.
Look on the bright side Joba, he hit a homer for ya.
poop
FUCK.
oh my god
we have a fucking tied game
Terrible. Two four runs leads he’s blown in two starts.
he falls apart after errors its sad
That.
Funny, as the inning was unfolding, I was thinking to myself, “What I wouldn’t give for Jorge Posada to jog out to the mound and tell him to calm the fuck down and keep focused on attacking the hitters”.
Joba’s developed a nasty habit this year of letting errors, misplays, and bad calls screw with his focus to the subsequent hitters. You’ve gotta shake that shit off.
its sad mane
smart move taking him out though
Hey maybe u had a rite to react in your post about Joba.
He had help in blowing it again though. The 3rd basemen, whether it’s Alex or Cody has to make those throws. Figgins was also out at 2nd.
Gosh, I hope Joba doesn’t say he thought he had good stuff and pitched pretty well. He did throw some good sliders to Rivera, though.
Our D sucks balls today.
fuck this bullshit.
Ok WTF happened? I get up for ice cream and…
damn. new game.
You could see that coming. So how do you not replace Joba with Hughes.
Hughes has a 5.45 era as a starter this year, thats how
Ahh because of one bad start. so this is better? The wonder kid who can’t make 5 innings. See Mike Axisa’s last post.
Joba is not effective right now.
no thats not true. take away his worst start, and his best start, and his era is still over 5
Because micromanaging is bad.
This was a bad outing by Joba. Overreacting won’t make it better. Only worse.
Not over reacting I am just not convinced Joba is right. But what do I know. Stats tell EVERYTHING about a pitcher. the human eye knows nothing. So Eiland and Girardi will just look at the stats and say, “Ah, he is just fine. Right where he should be.”
charlespoet: 1
Strawman: 0
But we need relief pitchers to follow teh jobber up
shit. Error, another missed call by shitty umpires, shit.
gee seen this before way to pickup your team after an error
Joba, Joba, Joba.
Bad choice there, Joba and Molina.
The arousal is gone…
okay what is seriously going wrong with joba?
Having to get 4 outs?
Joba doesnt deserve to be pitching in the rotation right now
why?
and who takes his spot?
hughes
Hughes has an ERA more then a run over Joba’s, so how does Hughes deserve it?
Yes, let’s not panic. Joba isn’t coming out of the rotation. But let’s see him own up to his efforts when he’s interviewed.
I honestly could not give a shit what he says when he’s interviewed.
On field performance >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> off-field attitude
Of course, but he needs to have a grasp on reality before he can make adjustments.
What he says to the press is not a referendum on his grasp on reality.
Maybe he doesn’t.
He also doesn’t deserve to be pulled from the rotation, though.
There’s a difference.
that escalated really quickly
Joba has imploded.
AAA bound.
fuck. the yankees should be batting if the ump got the call right and arod made the throw.
See: 2008 Rays.
Defense matters.
God Joba is such a p*ssy.
Great comment, Ben. Compelling, and rich.
this sucks so much
Yay, Melancon.
yaay melancon
It’s about time the Yanks seriously consider ending the Joba as a starter experiment.
its about time Yankee fans have some patience with a 23year old pitcher
Yep, that is it. He is only 23. No pitcher in the history of baseball has pitched well at 23.
Theres alot more pitchers who have struggled at 23, than pitchers who dominate at 23
It’s not en experiment.
This is batshit insane.
Dumbest poster of the night award.
well here is melacon!
please do well
It’s ok Joba, you did great. When the sun comes up, you’ll still have a job.
my favorite quote of them all
To be fair, Hughes looked worse last season. Give the kid a break.
And you know what? He’s right, he will.
As he should.
Joba Chamberlain’s 1st half grade = C-
what were you realistic expectations for his first 17 starts this year? 10-3 3.31 era?
no but not this
then what was your expecatations? 8-5 with 4.00 era?
To be honest you gotta give the guy a chance in the rotation. Nevertheless, he’s really testing my patience in these games at times.
As I said before he’s become a very boring pitcher.
damn melacon throwing 95!
Joba pitching like this, No Wang, and Andy being Andy thats going to be one tired bullpen.
ANOTHER horrible start by Joba!
This bum is REGRESSING. Every start now seems worse than the previous one.
Cashman better take notice and wake the fuck up with these Halladay rumblings. If he thinks he can win with CC, AJ and a prayer in October, he is sorely mistaken. Our 3,4,5 pitchers are a fuckin joke. Absolutely no faith, whatsoever, that any of those stooges could make it past the 5th inning in any start they throw.
p.s. its games like this (where Joba gives up 5 runs, but only 2/3 earned b/c of errors) why his ERA is so misleading. Anyway who actually believes Joba is a legit 4.0 era pitcher is either kidding themselves or severely delusional.

That doesn’t make sense.

SHUT THE FUCK UP…I’m apologize Mike but I am tired of this. I don’t even feel the need to elaborate.
If you feel need to insult him don’t do it so directly… do it sarcastically and very, very mean spirited.
his career era is 2.93!!!!!
2.93!!! are you a moron?
Damn, sanchez perfect through 7
happy i started him today
I think I called the wrong no-no tonight. What the hell happened I went across the street to get a sandwhich and the game is tied?
I only went to the fridge.
GREAT JOB MARK!!!
NOW LETS GO EFF UP THAT ANGELS PITCHING!
who else can pitch tonight? bruney and tomko?
Robertson, Mo.
Wow, Sanchez is Perfect threw 7
Wow, Sanchez is Perfect threw 7
Sorry for the enrgaed post, bad night.
But Joba still sucks.
of course he does. If a 23 year old pitcher can’t pitch great every start then we should give up on him and call him horrible. Welcome to the world of developing pitchers. Patience is your friend.
No, he doesn’t.
I had great stuff today. The Angels just have a good lineup. It’s not a big deal because, at the end of the day, the sun comes up tomorrow and I still have a job.
- Joba Chamberlain
money!
This sucks! Clearly Molina sucks at calling games!
Trade Joba for Halladay and win number 27 this year. Forget the future.
Joba gets it done, huh?
Forget the future.
When did we become the Milwaukee Brewers?
but Hallady had a 10.64 ERA in his second season, theres no way he can be a good pitcher
Wow. Juan Uribe ends the perfect game with an error. On an easy play.
Epic fail.
error ends the perfect game
that sucks for both pitcher and fielder
holy shit
jeter is 4 for 4!!!
he’ll prolly get 6 ABs!
This Jeter kid is pretty good.
Still has a no hitter
