Game 113: Getting back on the winning path
ByNo one wants to see the Yankees lose games, but we know they won’t win ‘em all. Last night’s one-run loss was a bit disheartening, mainly because a botched double play led to two Blue Jays runs where there should have been none, or one at most. The Yankees did come back from that, but could not muster another run after Lyle Overbay sent one into the Yanks bullpen. Things will be different tonight, though. Things will be different.
For starters, the Yankees will have a more reliable arm in the mound in the form of Joba Chamberlain. His last start wasn’t quite as good as his previous three, but he battled through five innings and left with a hefty lead that the Yanks would not come close to surrendering. They could use another quality start out of him, and as long as he’s not walking the farm he should be fine.
The Blue Jays will send Scott Richmond to the mound. After the Yankees crushed him last time out to the tune of five runs in 1.2 innings he continued pitching well, but was scratched for his start in the July series, which led to him hitting the 15-day DL. He’s had one start since coming back, a three-inning, six-run (three earned) debacle against the A’s. That, combined with the Yanks’ last outing against him, makes you think the Yanks will have a field day with Richmond tonight. But allow me to quote someone knowledgeable on the matter.
“You can’t predict baseball. You just can’t.” -John Sterling
And he’ll remind you of that at least a dozen times during the game tonight, if you can endure him.
In case anyone is interested, I’ll be at the game tonight with Ben, sitting with a decent sized group. We were forced into Section 235, LF bleachers. If anyone wants to get a beer at the Cold Beer stand by third base in the second deck, email me (it’s to the right). The BlackBerry is on.
Lineup:
1. Derek Jeter, SS
2. Johnny Damon, LF
3. Mark Teixeira, 1B
4. Alex Rodriguez, 3B
5. Hideki Matsui, DH
6. Jorge Posada, C
7. Robinson Cano, 2B
8. Eric Hinske, RF
9. Melky Cabrera, CF
And on the mound, number sixty-two, Joba Chamberlain.

Here’s hoping Joba’s a bit better than he was last time
How hard can that be?
Heh, this is true.
Kinda hard because Joba has a 93%+ LOB rate in the 2nd half and a similar K-rate I think and a kinda lucky .177 BABIP against. So he has been kinda lucky. But that doesnt mean he is only getting lucky as he is also improved.
I meant his last start sucked, so this one can’t be much worse.
yea, I gotcha but just wanted to add some stats,
I think we could make a general statement that Joba’s been getting a bit lucky on the year. His FIP is at 4.76, more than a full run over his ERA, and his tRA is at 4.97, for a tRA+ of 94.
He’ll have a more fair umpire, so he should get more strike calls.
this is from lohud
“The club has no plans of ever putting Joba in the ‘pen. They do have a plan for him, of course. Ironically, it’s a plan with specifics so top secret that Joba doesn’t even know them all. Girardi informs him of the next step after each of his starts.”
I’m glad to see Joba won’t go back to the pen, but unless they’re gonna shut him down in september i don’t see how they maneuver around his innings limit come october
Just trust the Yankees FO, they know what they want to do and are doing.
My faith in the Yankee FO has been very up and down. I have great faith in all the moves they’ve made from the off-season to the Hinske/Hairston moves. However, the management of the Hughes/Wang situation has pissed me off to no end. With Joba, and in general I guess, I do trust the FO.
I guess we have no choice.
I hear ya, but I firmly believe they’ll only do what they believe in the best interest of Joba.
And what’s best for Joba is definitely what’s best for the Yankees.
I like the last line: “Girardi informs him of the next step after each of his starts.”
How different could they possibly be?
I would pay to watch Kangaroo court if I could. It seems like it would be fun to watch.
Apparently Mo got fined, too. I wonder what his transgression was?
Walking someone?
Letting Hughesie’s inherited runners score.
Being too awesome.
+a bajillion.
how funny would that be?
Anyone know where I can read what fines went down?
well, it was closed to the media so I doubt we find out. Too bad.
there were a few articles written about it…i think swisher being late for BP one day, and then Arod for being late to the season
LETS GO YANKEES!
I get more hyped for Joba’s starts than anyone else. I don’t know why.
Me too.
Me three
fistpumps!
Joba 8-0 after All Star Break, let’s stay perfect Joba!
I’m blaming you if Joba loses.
k fine.
Lets hope this randy ruz kid doesn’t do anything tonight
*ruiz
He’s no kid. Former Yank farmhand.
Maybe it’s the fact that most guys enter their “contract years” around the same time they reach their baseball prime.
Haha damn, sweet catch.
Ugly 0-2 pitch, Joba.
It seems like Damon has been better in LF of late.
maybe that boston series rejuvenated him
Ha…better or luckier? It’s still a heart attack to watch him catch line drives.
nice 0-1 pitch there
I just noticed the YES gun is working today. No more 96 mph curveballs.
Wow, I figured he was going to throw a 3-2 slider. He always does.
Me + The Show + 3-2 changeups = total domination.
fugghetaboutit
Heh, I was waiting for that.
me + xbox 360 = No “the Show”
Your life = shitty.
gears>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> anything on ps3
I wouldn’t know; I have a PS2.
Oh, I pitch backwards in that game with a mofo, doesn’t matter who the pitcher is. 2-0, 3-1, 3-2 changeups aren’t fair.
Haha, word. I do the same thing.
It’s good to hear the crowd into each play these days.
Damn, I thought Robbie would get that.
same here
Pedroia would have had that!!! ergh
Nah, he would’ve belly-flopped and missed it completely. Like I said over the weekend, Pedroia leads the league in unnecessary dives/slides/falls.
I like it when Joba’s fast.
Nasty
woooo it’s the SLIDAH~
nice Joba but I would like some more efficiency
Nice slider to get Overbay. How about picking up the pace a bit?
Sometimes he seems like a non-shitty Steve Trachsel.
I love the way Joba either strikes someone out and walks straight off the mound like it’s nothing. Or the times where he goes all fist-pumping on us. It really does show the true emotion in it.
Has Girardi confirmed that Gaudin will start on Sunday?? Or is it just speculation from some of the writers??
that was a filthy slider
The Yanks annihilated Richmond earlier this year. I expect more of the same.
i hope so
Jeter startin’ it off right.
Jeter’s too good.
Wasn’t impressed with Jobber that inning.
I wasn’t impressed with you that inning.
I wasn’t impressed with your face that inning.
I’ll just let you do my work for me.
I like this.
I like where this is going.
Overbay is too white to get up any higher.
Overbay and Jason Bay should recruit Drew Neitzel to play baseball so they can have the “All Powder” team.
keep it going guys, we need to hit with RISP today.
This qualifies as a good start.
They are ripping him right now.
Teixeira… The Baseball Superman?
this is truth
Pujols
A-Rod, when he’s on.
yea, Tex has had a great season but it’s nothing compared to A-rod’s 2007 season
That was the best season I’ve ever seen.
Aaron Hill is a horrendous defender.
i heart you damon
keep it going
No double play this time A-Rod
I am liking these Yankees.
Ball 3?
Arod decides this isn’t clutch enough of a situation.
we are not tied or down so yea…I kinda wish he would pad his stats in addition to being clutch
boo borderline call! Cmon Hideki, no DP or K, we need more runs
Come on Yankees, let’s get more than one run here! *is really greedy*
That’s the only run we need with Joba on the mound.
that K to alex was BS
New favorite way to kill time: pushing pedestrians in front of subway cars in GTA4.
i’d rather use my grenades and throw them into gangs
never fails
I don’t think I can pick a favorite way — slaughtering innocents never gets old.
…HOW CAN YOU KILL INNOCENT WOMEN and CHILDREN?
Not to mention the men.
yikes
godzilla looked silly on that first strike
Were Hideki’s eyes even open on that pitch?
hahahahahaha prolly not
That’s pretty racist
racist
Psh, I was going for the Little Big League reference.
96 mph heat and 80mph curve? No chance.
oops.
now that I dont like, that runner on 3rd better not be stranded!!!
thanks JoPo!
Good hit. Bad green light from 3rd base coach.
That was an awful call.
Oh WTF Tex, you can run over Jorge but not frickin’ Barajas?
Eh, better that he didn’t. Don’t want him getting hurt.
But that was easily Thompson’s worst send of the year.
Bobby Meacham is back coaching 3rd????
Better
cmon teix u gotta take him down. wtf was thompson thinking sending him?
A little too aggressive there. I don’t think Teix made that call on his own at all.
Oh Robbie Thompson.
Why not try to harder to dislodge the ball?
hahahahaha Tex
way to get out by a mile
who waived him home? a blind man?
Blind man…you’re not referring to Bobby Meachem are you?
yes i am…
Bobby Meachem 2.0 at 3rd base this year.
No, not even close.
Haha, are you defending Thompson or Meachem?
Thompson has been great this year. Obviously that was the wrong send, but in no way is he similar to Meachem.
I agree whole heartedly. For the most part, Thompson has been great. I just like referring to moments like that as Bobby Meachem moments.
That it was.
BWAHAHAHAHA the Tigers put up a 3 spot on tazawa in the first inning. This kid’s confidence is gonna be shot to shit.
Thinks he’s too good for NPB, eh?
I didn;t like Tazawa’s video against Japan players… i don;t know how he got picked up by a top MLB team.
Igawa?
isn’t he like 22 yrs old?
So Dicegay can gave a friend to play pokemon with
That question about Ruth is unfair. Baseball wasn’t nearly as popular then as it is now, right? Ruth was so big because he essentially defined the sport and made it into what it became. Unless baseball completely dies out, unlikely, no one will be able to do that again.
Ruth was the first athlete you could label “put fannies in the seats”
Remember baseball was just escaping the dead ball era and Ruth made the Homrun one of the most exciting things in baseball.
He also revived baseball after the Black Sox scandal by having a season where he hit almost twice as many HR’s as any other player ever had previously in one season.
The dude was unreal.
There were a lot of bad decisions by Thompson earlier in the year, thought he would know better, we can string 4 hits together with 2 outs against red sox… he doesn’t think we can do it against the Blue Jays?
That pitch should’ve been fuckin’ crushed. Thank you, Vernon.
Lol@that contract
Please stop calling Randy Ruiz a kid, Michael Kay. He played in AA for the Yanks. Four years ago.
And that wasn’t his first big league at-bat, Paulie. He’s been up with the Twins. A few times.
I had to look it up. Ruiz will be 32 in October.
Mike, stop expecting guys talking about Major League players to do research. It’s not in their job descriptions.
And, apparently, the reason blogs exist is to take down star players. /Leiter’d
Sure, hit 96 to Randy F. Ruiz, Joba.
Ok, take a seat now Rook.
Sincerely, Joba’s Fastball.
vernon wells sucks
badly
Nice inning, Joba.
Go Tigers! They’re up 3-0 on the BoSox and Tazawa in the first inning.
Love it
Jobaisonfire
Oh Mo – away on a business trip and I’m forced to listen to the game on Gameday audio… I hope I don’t break my laptop listening to Sterling and Waldman.
Did Vernon Wells say “BITCH!” real loud when he hit that pop up?
i thought so
Joba only goes 5 innings each of his starts from here on out. That’s why they’re keeping it secret, so teams don’t wait him out and get his pitch count up.
If he throws 5 tonight and makes another 6 starts in the remaining 7 weeks of the season (skipping him here and there) that will put him at 150 IP for the season.
Serious or joke?
I have mute on — was that girl someone I should recognize, or just a random fan?
she’s just the smile of the game
not anyone special
Iight big spot, WS on the line, final out, Pujols at the plate, who would you trust in that spot, Joba or Hughes?
Joba.
Joba. I trust his slider more than Hughes’ cutter or curve.
cano is a hitting genius without people on base
Veras he’s good at walking people.
IETCVM
lol cameraman must have really had a thing for that girl in the blue shirt.
Omg as soon as I write that – Sterling calls the Cano hit a double… only to correct himself bc he can’t see the area of the field from where he’s sitting.
Robbie Cano’s so lazy, he tried to double twice in that at-bat thinking they’d give him four bases and a homer.
Heh, IETC.
Cano… The Man.
CANO!!!
BALK.
Robbie fires the “laser!”
How did the HP umpire not notice that immediately?
lol i have no idea
Meh… Bard’s balk was funnier.
Yeah, Bard’s head was about to explode when he balked.
Nice pitch, Richmond. His breaking ball is pwning people right now.
Here comes the Melkman for his delivery!
Happy bday Leche!
ah cmon guys we HAVE to drive in that run this time with 0 outs (now 1)
that works
Melkdog gettin the job done.
RBI on your birthday. I’ll Take it.
Melky only plays small ball when Cano is on base.
B-day RBI!
Happy Birthday Melky!
Cano and A-Rod are going to chip in and order him another porn star.
Actually A-Rod can do that himself.
Cano wanted to put his name on the card.
Jeter is just ridic at the plate right now.
That’s G!
Melky: “here you go Robinson Cano it is a sacrifice fly for you”
Robbie: “thank you Melky you are my best friend”
That’s kinda of ummmmm…..how can I put it…….fruity.
YOU’RE KIND OF UMMMM… HOW CAN I PUT IT… FRUITY!
not that there’s anything wrong with that, right?
Not that there’s anything wrong with that!
continuation from yesterday…
Melky+Robbie: *steps into the dugout*
Mitre: “Hey guys!”
Melky+Robbie: “STFU, FOOL!”
Mitre: “…”
Tex: “HEY! No sulking!”
Tex: “fool…”
Mitre: *cries*
Mitre then makes a throwing error trying to toss the sunflower seeds to cano
(sunflower seeds spill all over the dugout floor)
Cano: “…”
Melky: “…”
Tex: “…”
Mitre: *cries*
Happy birthday Leche!
Derek Jeter… Too Good.
Tazawa gonna have 50+ pitches after the 2nd inning, how is that pitching depth there boston?
Is that dude from the ESPN trivia game right there in the front row? What was it? Stump the Schwab or whatever?
Yeah ha i couldn’t think of his name, it’s Schwab or watevs
He’s a HUGE Yankee fan I,ve heard.
Damn, this guy is throwing batting practice.
Dammit! Make them walls higher!! ha
Tough break, should be 4-0
Yeah, Time for Teixeira to get another hit.
Vernon Wells thought it was a touchdown.
LoL
hahaha
jeter is money
bring em in MVP!
nice job damon
This whole friggin line up is G!
Crush them Alex. No mercy.
Show them no mercy, for you will receive none.
GRAND SLAM!!!!
Haha, just foolin’ ya.
ARod needs to crush this
This is more clutch than in the first!
But not clutch enough
A-Rod you know what to do!!!!
KEEEL HIM!!! KEEEEEEEEL!!!
Haha the poor pitching coach, he’s like “Fuck!!”
A-rod hates stat-padding
Tazawa off to a flying start.
3H 3 R 2BB in 1.2 IP.
He doesn’t even have that great stuff either.
and they broke an unwritten rule between MLB and Japan in signing him. The Japanese teams were pissed they signed such a young guy, who was supposed to play with a Japanese team and was in a contract dispute.
Well that was anti-climactic.
This team is good.
Can only ask for so much.
OMG AROD SO UNCLUTCH!!1
Apparently A-rod has decided to not hit those stat padding homers early in the game this year, and instead will save them all for the big spots.
I rather have him win the game with his big hit than to tack on another run to the 9 run lead like last season.
If A-Rod had gotten a hit there, even a 2 run single, that would’ve made the game 5-0 which would essentially win the game.
I’ve figured it out. A-Rod didn’t want to get the big hit to keep Richmond around longer.
damn it alex
Positive: We are still crushing the shit out of Richmond, let’s just keep pitching well and keep mashing
I do not want to hear about food. Stop talking about food.
I’m eating bread
What type?
Yeah it’s getting pretty old. My brother bet me on how many food references they would make tonight, setting the over/under at 5.5
Fried chicken with mashed taters and gravy topped with cheddar cheese, followed with a peach cobbler.
i heart jujyfriuts
Did you buy it on the way from the theater? You had time to buy Jujyfruits?
Dang Miggy-Cabs might have a broken hand.
how?
there was a brawl in boston
Tazawa hit him. Next AB he had to get lifted because it was still messed up.
Tazawa helping the White Sox… he’s helping every team but the Red Sox…
Ugh, that’s so shitty.
Fuckin computer! I’ve been recording a DVD from my Camera and the software said it would take UPTO an hour. It had been 3 hours and it was only done 41%. But the motherfuckin froze and just turned off on me. All that time goes to waste!
Blame it on Meat Tray!
Don;t run any other programs while running that one.
I didn’t…until now just before it froze.
DP here Joba!
Brawl in boston.
Why do they always broadcast the wrong games?
Details, plz.
I would if i could, only saw the tail end on mlb network.
IM convo:
youklis is gonna get suspended bigtime
what’d he do?
I’m watching the Yankees
he got hit, charged the mound threw his helmet at porcello on his way then tackled porcello
HOLY SHIT
yeah it was bullsheet on the red sox part
That’s nice, it’s not like he’s 10 years older and has 60 lbs on the kid or anything.
Youkilis?
He seems like such a shy, unassuming wallflower type. Guess you just never know people.
Don’t worry Joba’s on his way.
Seriously, that is complete bullshit on Youk’s part.
Somebody call Nolan Ryan!
Joba, stop throwing balls to horseshit hitters.
and the unspooling of the red sox has begun. amen
Sweet, Douchebag Youk tackles a 21 year old. What a fucking cockbag.
Did I just hear that Youk tackled Porcello?! WTF?!
HAHAHAHA Youk charged Porcello. Wow. Red Sox really are dirtbags.
Youkilis is such a prick.
You’re literally ALL over the plate, expect to get hit.
Thanks for trying to ruin a youngster’s career.
true dat
although – porcello could have had a better response
and now this from a guy on MLB Network: “I don’t think Youk was throwing his helmet at Procello to hurt him. It was more of a tactical thing.” … from the Tim McCarver school of broadcasting..
You mean next time someone can throw their frigging bat at the pitcher due to tactical reasons… it’s okay? What has this world come to?
Fuck Youkilis and his fucking smug ass diva personality. Fuck his retarded stance, someone should pick up a garbage pitcher and have him just drill that fuck in the back of the head.
Wow, this was unexpected. Someone from the NY media called out ESPN for their coverage of Big Papi.
http://www.nydailynews.com/spo.....ortiz.html
+99999
Saved and I shall print to post in the office.
Meh, not sure Raissman really counts.
porcello effin beat youk a bit i think
awesomeness
Best part is, Youkilis will probably get away with it, just like Ramirez. I loathe the Red Sox and their bitch brand of baseball.
Kind of wish it was someone like Verlander… Throw 100 MPH at Jewkilis, and he wouldn’t charge Verlander.
Jewkilis
Seriously? Is that necessary?
Would like to reiterate.
If Youkilis ever tackles Joba I will personally hunt him down and show him how it really is. Although, I’m pretty sure Jober would stomp his squirrel beard into the ground.
I don’t know if Teixeira or A-Rod will let Youkilis get close enough to Joba…
Big Tex will personally rip Youkilis away from Joba and then rip him a new one.
+1 Tex seems like that kind of guy where if you try and get near his teammates he’ll beat you down.
He looks like a nice guy and I’m sure he won’t mind getting dirty for his team mate. I’m sure he can snap some of the Red Sux in half with his bare hands.
that day is coming, too
porcello just got tossed
he shouldn’t have
Wow. You gotta love it.
Let’s see…
1. Man gets attacked.
2. Man gets thrown on the ground.
3. Man is expected to fight back passively, by staring hard at the crazy nut and hoping his head will explode.
4. Man is hurt.
Unbelievable. I hope Rodney throws at Youkilis’ head.
C’mon Joba, stop screwing around.
That Youkilis! What a team player for getting their starting pitcher ejected early for the longman!
LOL.
Can somebody give me a play by play of the Youk thing?
youk got hit by a pitch on the back between the letters
he then charged the mound at an unsuspecting porcello
threw his helmet
then porcello and youk were in a suplex grip until youk sorta threw him down
brawl began
Youk threw him down ? watch again he got spun around with a text book judo throw
aaah true, i noticed that after i typed it
faaaack, joba. throw strikes, please. we’re allergic to terrible ball to strike ratio.
Porcello tossed youk to the ground like a bitch, ended up on top of him.
it was quite funny to watch
As long as Porcello laid out Youk I’m okay with it, the kid is only 20 so that just shows 30 y/o Youk is a bitch.
i knew that Youk was a wussy by the way he looked like he was gonna cry when Joba threw at him…..he knew that time he would take an ass whipping…..so he tried to pick on a skinny 20 year old rookie
hahaha just saw the highlight, Porcello threw down Youk
where?
there was a brawl in fenway
porcello and youk got in a fight
Shit
Goddammit.
Dammit Joba.
Jesus fucking Christ Joba.
Ofcourse, another Lucky Overbay hit… Great.
This is what happens when you don’t retire crappy hitters like Inglett and Scutaro.
How is Scutaro crappy?
Lifetime slash line of .267/.336/.389?
Somehow I doubt his hot (for him) hitting this year is a new level.
This is also what happens when you let opportunities to knock a team out early in the game go to waste and see them come right back to tie the game instead.
Scutaro isnt a crappy hitter, Inglett is.
joba deserves that
OK what the fuck Joba!
I have a feeling we are going to get our first look at Gaudin tonight.
is it just me or is the red sox bitch-ness proven by their “rivalries” with so many teams that involve brawls. Yankees, Rays, now Detroit – and there was a thing with the O’s a while ago.
damn it joba
one swing
3 fucking runs
That sucked.
/too broken for eloquence
Stop walking the Joe Ingletts of the world and this shit won’t happen Joba.
Unrelated: is this opera in the Lexus ad the same opera from The Shawshank Redemption?
So when did the Yankees trade the Joba we saw after the break? This is the old version of Joba who no longer has a rhythm to his pitching, is missing location, and wasting too many pitches. Wow, might be time to reconsider the rotation. Could be his innings limit affecting him.
Boston just tied the game.
Bad game by Joba.
I said it in the first inning. Allow me to have my Little Bill moment here. I said he looked like he was doing bad.
then you said this:
http://riveraveblues.com/2009/.....ent-526285
Bahaha
heh, he rescinds that comment.
Fucking Bay
And of course the Red Sox come back and tie it.
So wait, Youk didn’t get tossed?
You kidding? If the Sox make the playoffs this game will be the turning point and Youk will get a medal by Gammons.
So anyone that didn’t see.
Porcello hits Youk in the back, Porcello looks up like he didn’t mean to do it. Then while Porcello is still looking up, Youk sprints to the mound. All of a sudden Porcello looks at Youk sprinting at him and puts his arms out to the side and backs up as if to say, “what the hell is happening!!??” He then gets a helmet tossed at him, Youk tries to tackle Porcello and Porcello spins and throws Youk to the ground.
yep it was awesome but it would be better if they lose
OK, offense time to score like 3 more runs now.
Jason Bay…. can only hit high Fastballs over the Green Monster… otherwise, useless.
DAMN YOU JASON BAY!
tie game in boston 3-3
I can see the “Brawl was the turning point of the season” articles now. They’ll hit the news stands tomorrow.
Love O’Niell giving Leiter the shit all night.
Jorge has looked terrible on breaking balls lately.
Why are we helping this bum Richmond?
Aight yo we need to refocus. Fuck Boston lets go Yanks.
+1
This is the one thing that is frustrating. They have a pitcher on the ropes and they let up. This game should be 7-3 right now. Come on boys, no hiccups.
how do you know thye let up? they aren’t the mets.
It sucks Porcello got tossed as the Tigers will probably lose with a sucky pitcher in there.
Nice job letting Toronto right back into the game.
This night just went from everything bright and sunny to WTF this sucks.
