Comments on: How Joba can learn about reduced velocity from Lincecum http://riveraveblues.com/2010/03/how-joba-can-learn-about-reduced-velocity-from-lincecum-25027/ A New York Yankees Blog Mon, 28 May 2012 17:59:55 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Gardimentary http://riveraveblues.com/2010/03/how-joba-can-learn-about-reduced-velocity-from-lincecum-25027/#comment-801550 Gardimentary Fri, 12 Mar 2010 22:23:47 +0000 http://riveraveblues.com/?p=25027#comment-801550 I wonder if they'll do something completely ridiculous, and put Mitre in the 5th spot. I've seen them do that before. Brandon Knight had a great spring one year, and won the job. He lasted 2 weeks. Aceves could be good in the 5th spot, but I really liked the way he'd bail out a pitcher who didn't have it in the 4th or 5th inning and keep us in the game. He was an unsung hero for us last year. Joba hasn't learned much since he got here, and some of that might be due to the amount of screwing they've done to the kid. All this talk of a plan is bullshit. They only they're planning to do is change their mind. I wonder if they’ll do something completely ridiculous, and put Mitre in the 5th spot. I’ve seen them do that before.

Ladies and gentlemen I am an oil man. And as an oil man I hope you'll excuse me if I use good old fashion plain speak. I'm also a family man. This is my son, H.W. One of my all-time favorite movies...if not my favorite. Love the name.

I love the post and what you said. I totally agree on the "dialed it back" last year. I think he was trying to be too fine as he was concerned about pitch counts/innings counts/Verducci/Torre Rules/Joba Rules/, etc. Heh. I love the post and what you said.

He will never be a good starting pitcher. it's only my opinion.
