PrintBoston Red Sox at New York Yankees, May 5, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
The end of a short two-game set in NY.
Josh Beckett takes the mound against Joba of Chamberlain. We can only hope that the encouraging outing from Beckett's co-ace last night can inspire such a performance from Becks tonight. Otherwise, we could be in trouble. Joba of Chamberlain has been a bright spot in an otherwise dim Yankee rotation to-date.
My guess on the lineup? Well...
Ells, DP, Papi, Bay, Drew, Lowell, Bailey, 'Tek, and Green. Have to imagine they'll give Youks a day off unless he's 150.89% and another day off for Lugo of Suck has already been implied.
Only wild card, I think, might be in 'Tek v. Kottaras today. Late night and long day for 'Tek yesterday.
Or I could be completely wrong. The Sox could decide to go with Van Every in the middle of the lineup with Lugo AND Green in at the same time. With Kottaras catching and 'Tek DHing for Papi. Hoo. Sounds like a bad dream.
Do it. Puck drops at 7:05 EDT...most likely.

he has a terrible FIP and WHIP this year. I think we should pound him and let him know!
We should have pounded him last time

van evry
has a better tRA than 4 Yankee relievers. Swisher has the 3rd best tRA in the Yankee pen.
Didn't say it wasn't.
Just trying to stay on my SABR game, or improve [which is way more likely considering how little I know compared to the amount some of the smarter guys do].
Let's sweep the Mordor serie!
BTW, the last game we faced Joba, he wasn’t that dominant. actually he was lucky he got out of a lot of jams ‘cause of a record GIDP we made (4 actually).
Hopefully, he don’t get this lucky that time. GO SOX!

I really don't understand the Lowell - Drew switch.
Shouldn’t the guy with the higher OBP go 5 to prolong the inning and get 6 up with the best chance to knock the most people in as compared to the guy with the lower OBP having a chance to end the inning at 5th before the guy batting 6th has less of a chance to knock him in?
Drew 0 for 10 v. Joba

Besides, Tek has an OPS+ of 93 this season, why would you want to get rid of that?
And he’s never had a great arm.
He is beginning to show the same strikeout swing and DP swing
that got him in trouble last year. I fear his rebound may be very short lived. Seriously!

Sad fact:
Cptn. Intangibles is hitting better than Papi so far this season – let’s hope tonight’s the end of that.
Papi still good w/ runners in scoring position

Wow, Beckett just threw three pitches that were almost exact copies of each other.
All within roughly 6 inches of each other on the down/away corner. Only 1 strike, but still, he’s on.
The rotation needs to go go deep in games!
We’re taxing our BP too much!! RamRam could’nt take anymore last night!

For all that they had 2 men on
That was a very well pitched inning by Beckett. The curve had that short, sharp dip on it, the fastball was snapping, and he had precision for all but the first 2 pitches.
Agreed
Also, Damon hit a very good pitch.

This is the difference between Manny and JBay
Manny: throw him any kind of pitch you want and h’ell take you deep
JBay: a Fastball hitter!
But I’ll take him in my team any day though
The only Red Sox fan in a country where nobody cares about basball!
But, they keep throwing him fastballs.
Also:
Manny: hit something to him and he might get to it after his pizza arrives
JBay: better than the average Little Leaguer( and I mean the t-ball, 50 feet to the fence Little League)
I need a ruling:
Making fun of Joba’s mom’s bust for attempting to sell meth to an undercover officer:

Beckett
Beckett is having the same problems I remember him having in 2006, which is not good. In fact, I just watched Jacob Turner, a probable top 10 pick this year, pitch against my high school team, and right now I might take Turner over him.
Oh, and I saw some Sox scouts there. Might be our first round pick if no one wants to risk drafting him and watching him go to college.

High School for Westminster Christian Academy in Saint Louis County. RHP, about 6’4" 180lbs. He was hitting 96 and 97 pretty consistently and had the best movement on his curves and sliders I’ve ever seen in a high schooler.

It was fun heckling him though
Whenever he’d give up a hit I’d yell “Beckett never gave up hits in high school.” And when he gave up a run I yelled “Haha you just cost yourself $3 million in signing bonus money.” Also stuff like “Say hi to the Orioles Single A pitching coach for me”.

Hmm... He's actually quite good normally.
- 84.7% correct pitch calls (above average)
- The borderline calls happen on a smaller border than average.
84.7% right means he’s 15.3% wrong…think about it that way

just playing devils advocate
but hes human too and could be having an off night just like a ball player….or like somebody said below, on the take….either way, he may be a good ump the majority of the time, but i’ve seen some border line calls tonight, thats all im saying

He deserves the benefit of the doubt though.
Plus, these things balance out over time. Not saying we should expect a game where the ump is our best friend in order to make up for this (gambler’s fallacy), but it’ll fix itself eventually if it hasn’t already.
Im going to change my name by the way
I feel its time to wish Dougie goodbye and I feel he is unlucky, the reason I stayed away during our winning streak…i’ll be back

His voice is like fucking gravel.
He annoys me GREATLY…
BUT… we still have the lead.
Hey, I'm Matt Holliday, I can hit the ball a ton above 5280 ft. Otherwise, I can't hit shit.
We?
United we stand, I guess.
It’d be nice if we could get some more runs, now that the Hutt’s at 108 pitches – and likely getting pulled.
Is this ump on the take or something?
His strike calls are ridiculous.
Not who I thought it was going to be when I looked for a pic.
I was thinking of the black ump who does the delayed, over-dramatic calls.
Sorry, just helps narrow down the list...
I think his number is 44… his first name is something like Kerby.

If all goes well
Cano won’t make the last out of the game tonight. It seems Cano makes the last out in so many of the Yankee games I watch.

If we didn't take the comforable lead,
there is no way Oki would have been back.

The MFY announcers are praising Joba's body language tonight
I guess he just didn’t have his fist pump working in the first inning.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
How about his dirty language?
They like that too? Is it now NY fashion to swear everytime you mess up?

he struck out 12, but pretty sure his body language was saying he didnt give up 4 runs, which would make his body a liar.
The Meth his mom sold him didn't kick in till the second
Thats why his first inning wasn’t all amped up with fist pumps and what not.

They should be screaming for Girardi's pitching moves.
I actually like the YES team. I like Dave Cone’s analysis. However, Girardi used 5 pitchers before the 8th inning. He should had used 3 including Joba.
Those friggin $1250 seats
Every time they should someone sitting in those seats, even with the B on their hat, I want to smack them and then take their money
Very vintage Oki

Saito paradox!
If there were more runs, it wouldn’t be a save situation, so he wouldn’t come in (work with me on this one)
But he's not the El Diablo that everyone paints him out to be
He was a dominant closer with the Dodgers before injury you know.. and could probably be a stud closer on any other team.

Homer: Kids, you tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is, never try.
Part of the Yankees suck...
There lineup is pretty sick. Jeter, Cano, Damon, Matsui, A-Rod, besides Swisher, Teixiera and Posada.
The Yankees have used hype and aura as 10th batter for so long, that they rely on it to help them fill in some serious cracks.
Their Starting pitching isn’t bad or great, but it is far from the pre-season hype. They didn’t do anything about their bullpen, which was their main weakness last year. When your starting pitcher get 12 ks, shut down the sox lineup after a crappy inning, that shows there are some bigger problems. Mainly the manager, the pitching coach and the bullpen.
Torre didn’t trust most of his bullpens when he was at the Yankees, but he had his favorites which he overused, Girardi is just panicking…
Some of this isn’t Girardi’s fault, lots of the blame points to Cashman and the ownership. However Girardi is showing he couldn’t manage a good bullpen like the A’s or the Sox.
Nice game.
And I’m doing the post-game tonight.

Latest Lugo win-loss tally
Similarly to what I have written lately so that maybe some will come around to this concept, I mean this is getting pretty convincing to anyone alive, even Drugs maybe! Here is the updated tally on this concept:
Whether you believe in the metaphysical or not, some trends should not be ignored under the banner of "just in case"! According to my calculations in the last 19 games, the Sox have won 15 and lost 4. The one absolute common factor for all the wins was Julio Lugo did not start, and the one absolute factor for all the losses was Lugo started. Since the guy is a lousy player and a momentum sucker of first order, it hardly seems necessary to go into the realm of the metaphysical to assign some relation here, but do whatever you have to to make a connection. NO MORE LUGO STARTS!!!
just saw the Joba/Bay thing
I ’d stepped away & missed a few innings, wow, .Joba is a complete jacka$$
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
Joba wasn't bad...
Any pitcher that can get 12k in 5 2/3 innings work, is doing something right. Joba’s slider is really, really good. He was getting third strikes on that pitch.
I do think he is acting like a headhunter. He has thrown too many pitches that hit players.
I agree he was A-OK after the 1st.
He needs to tone down the antics as it reflects poorly on him.
