I do think Joba is going to pitch much better down the stretch and in the playoffs, but I highly doubt it will be because Eiland tweaked Joba’s delivery.

Not to rehash the brawl again but it should not have gone past the ball thrown behind Posada’s back. But Carlson’s deliberate or absent-minded idiocy after Posada scored–not being where he was supposed to be: backing his catcher behind the plate–was the catalyst for the whole thing. At that point I didn’t mind Posada mixing it up despite the suspension/injury consequences.

Good thing it only took Eiland 30 starts to find something. Not like his velocity went down this yr or anything.

Good to hear this about Joba. Even if he only starts a game in the ALDS, would be good to have him at his best. Then for the ALCS, put him in the bullpen I guess. Really could be an asset there for a playoff series.

Him being Joba Chamberlain gives me hope.

His last start against the Angels gives me hope he can turn it around.

Try anything.

With Pettitte hurting and AJ doing his headcase thing, if there is any hope at all that Joba can become a respectable starter in time for the postseason, go for it.

CC’s great, and we know he’s an October horse, but he can’t start every night.
