2009 New York Yankees Season Discussion

[Kevin]

well they still have til the waiver deadline later this month, they could still get something done


We are on the road all aug, after today. And 6 more games vs LAA. By the time that happens, they may be too far back. Especialy with this lackluster hitting.

well they dont have to wait until aug 31

[Doctor Z]

.CLUTCH ROD!!!

[sailor]

that was disgusting.

[Doctor Z]

That was the absolute worst failure to score a run I've ever witnessed in 16 years of watching baseball.
I'm done with this game. See you guys tomorrow.

[TheGameHHH]

yea, im pretty much done with this game too thanks to that play. i would honestly sit Abreu for the rest of the game if I was Girardi.

[Kevin]

If this game was 6 2 Yanks. Arod would have crushed that.

[Kevin]

yea, im pretty much done with this game too thanks to that play. i would honestly sit Abreu for the rest of the game if I was Girardi.


Thats just Bobby being Bobby.

[Kevin]

I would like to point out that Melky sucks giant balls. That is all.

[Tenbatsuzen]

still want to bench the hottest batter you've got, you fucking homos?

is good.

[Tenbatsuzen]

Kevin, Brett, you're all a bunch of queeros.

[TheGameHHH]

yes i did want to bench him, but that was certainly a nice way to atone for what he did.


X BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheGameHHH]

Kevin, Brett, you're all a bunch of queeros.

oh yea? you're a homo!

oh yea? you're a homo!

FUCK JASON BAY! X MAN. BITCHES. Tenbatz is a queer and Z should quit on the team more often. Twice now they have come back.

[Tenbatsuzen]

It's sad that the last notable new york athlete named Xavier is best known for a fight and telling Steve not to come.

I take it you never saw "Singles".

Just for that, I'd bench Abreu for the rest of the game.

[cougarjake13]

[TheGameHHH]

kyle farnsworth goes in to the bottom of the 8th in Tampa with a 3-1 lead, proceeds to give up two HRs and 3 runs. Now Tampa leads 4-3 in the 9th.

Go jerkoff with Doug!

I seriously think you just broke the gay-meter. I mean, I can understand some of my favorite girls not being a cup of tea, but if you don't find Maria Kanellis attractive, you need some serious self-evaluation.

Relax fag, you were making gay jokes about me and Game and I went it. You need to get a hold of yourself and take it if you want to dish to dish it out.

[Kevin]

go nad!

Eh, he could have made sure that that ball didn't go over the ball for a ground rule double. It cost the team a run.

[TheGameHHH]

Spy Report, Spy Report! The 'Stache has been shaved.

[Kevin]

I'm always serious, i dont even know how to joke.

So yes, seriously.

I assume you meant wall but before I thought about it I had a small anyurism. My lawyer will be in contact.

My fault, sorry.

[Doctor Z]

So from now on, whenever the Yankees fall behind and things are looking hopeless, I'm walking away from the game. It's worked before.

Twice now, from what i could remember, could be more.

Keep doing it Z.

[TheGameHHH]

After Padilla tonight the Yanks face Matt Harrison, Tommy Hunter and Scott Feldman the next 3 nights. I'm setting the over/under now at 6.5 runs combined for all three nights.

[FunkyDrummer]

Shaving the 'stache gets you to go the other way and pick up an rbi...

[Kevin]

So, is Joba going to get his customary fantastic run support tonight?

[Doctor Z]

Well... This just became a whole new ballgame.

[Kevin]

2 balks in one inning. Lucky because 'Clutchrod' sure was not bringing him in.

[Doctor Z]

I gotta say, I don't feel too good about that balk run.

Those were a couple of nitpicky-ass calls.

[Kevin]

I gotta say, I don't feel too good about that balk run.

Well those umps sure made up for it with that bullshit call.

Our season may have just officially ended.

Hopefully its what Cone was saying, just a cramp.

That catch was extremely homosexual.

[Kevin]

2nd day in a row Girardi leaves the guy on too long. He leaves the lefty to face the righty and the righty to face the Lefty.

Not a great 2 games by Girardi.

[TheGameHHH]

both the rays and sox lost, why would they want to gain a game? thats just crazy talk

[Knowledged_one]

Our season may have just officially ended.

This has to be one of the worst fears if its anything serious, and everyone will kill the yankees for not stretching him out and putting to many pitches on his arm when he was a reliever last year

[Kevin]

Eww. Does Hamilton actualy come out to one of those awful Christian insperational music? As i type this, nice work Andy.

[Kevin]

Lets see, Rookie, leftey,shitty era, yep, perfect pitcher to pitch a great game vs the Yankees.

[TheGameHHH]

seriously, i dont know if i can take another 40+ games of this

Double play Jeter, wrecks another inning.

Yay, the shitty lefty is out of the game, maybe they can do something now.

[Kevin]

Captain Clutch!!!

[Doctor Z]

I never thought the day would come where I'd say this, but with the bases loaded, 2 out, and the game on the line, Derek Jeter was the LAST guy I wanted at the plate.

Melky helped there too, by sucking balls as usual.

Show me some more of those Arod 'clutch' stats there, Hbox and Mojo.

Youll be there with us in October...YOU HAVE TO BE!!!

Man, I took CJ Wilson off my fantasy league after tonight.
Something is just wrong with him lately.

Football is for fags.

You've already established that a handful of games you watch are more important than 14 years of baseball.

[TheMojoPin]

You've already established that a handful of games you watch are more important than 14 years of baseball.

To be fair, ARod's clutch numbers are getting pretty shitty in some key scenarios this year, namely when the game is "late and close" (PA in the 7th or later with the batting team tied, ahead by one, or the tying run at least on deck.). He had similar issues in 2006, too. Every other year of his career, however, his clutch stats across the board are among the very elite.

[Kevin]

It is when every game i watch, he shits the bed in, in big spots.

Yeah, hes been bad this year. But I don't know how anyone could have watched him last year and not think he's generally good when its close. He was historically good last year.

It's getting really annoying to me that he catches this crap when he is the primary reason why this team scores runs. They were offensively atrocious without him when he was injured.

[TheMojoPin]

If it's part of this season and most of 2006, fine. Any other year, no.

1. You bring out 14yrs. Give me a year in the 7 years in Texas that he had to really do anything 'clutch'. Did he have games where he got hits in late innings there and hit with RISP.. Yea the stats show it.But were they really pressure when they were out of the race by late may, June when he was there?

2. The offense is atrocious now,. and he is one of the main culprits, they score 15 runs one game, where he pours it on and hits hrs up or down 6-2. God forbid he hits a HR last night, or the 1-0 game vs LAA.

No one wants to see the man do well more than me. I live and die with this team, watching every night and put a lot of emotions and time into them, i only pounce on him because i care about the team so much.

I am sorry, the man is one of the least clutch players i have ever seen.



I really don't care what anyone says

Last year, i have to give him credit. He was fantastic.

05.. EHHHHHHHH. There were plenty of times i seen him come up small. My, Fucking ARODS! were pretty up there in 05 when he would pop up with runners on 3rd 1 or no outs.

Can you guys pop up his postseason stats in all those years, please?

edit, i know it was not just him that has been awful in the postseason. Its the whole team, including Jeter.

But he is the big money man, who wants the spotlight, so naturally he gets targeted.

You're fucking killing me.

You picked like the one scenario outside of guys on 1st & 2nd where he stunk in 2005. (http://www.baseball-reference.com/pi/bsplit.cgi?n1=rodrial01&year=2005#situa-bases) Both are, however, not traditional "clutch" situations like you're bitching about. You really have to nitpick and distort to call him non-clutch in 2005 when he was clearly one of THE most clutch players in the game that year.

If you look closer he was VERY good with runners on 3rd and 2 outs or a guy on 3rd with 2 outs and late in the game...critical clutch situations. Bases loaded? Outstanding. RISP and men on in general he was also very good to excellent.

[A.J.]

I need to introduce you to a guy I know. Last night he was sounding just like you. He watches every game and my favorite line he said was "He's leading the league in hitting but I'm not seeing all these hits." This was right as ARod hit into a double play.

[A.J.]

Dude, i am sorry, i see what i see, and all i see is him sucking ass in big spots. Like i said, i have no hatred for the guy, i have his jersey and want him to succeed, because he plays for my team. I have no jelousy of him, like some fans, media and players, because he makes all that money and what not. I know the #s are there, but he just does not come up big, in big sots, i just can't explain it.

I am really not surprised at you for looking at the #s and not really watching too many Yankee games, and forming your opinion.

I am utterly shocked that Hbox, who watched every game, is a smart and knowledgeable fan, can watch Arod play and come up small more often than not, and have this opinion. i just do not get it.

[Knowledged_one]

To me i think its unfair to lump all of this criticism on ARod as if he isnt trying maybe he tries to hard in teh clutch, or maybe he doesnt get great ptiches in that instance because of who hits behind him in the lineup (btw i dont know who that is) but that can go along way towards the clutch situations because he gets pitches that arent great because they dont fear teh guy behind him

Just a thought

The whole "he isn't trying" argument is ridiculous. How do you know how hard someone is "trying"?

[foodcourtdruide]

oh he gets the pitches, i cant tell u how many first pitch fastballs right down the middle ive watched the guy take.

Piazza used to do this too, but then he'd take a homerun swing at a random first pitch fastball.

Just a thought

No one says he does not try. He clearly cares and tries. Like you said, maybe too much. He just needs to relax and go with it. They pitch him differently in big spots, go out of the zone more and what not, because they know he is so strung up that he will chase it. More often than not, he does chase it.

[TheGameHHH]

Piazza used to do this too, but then he'd take a homerun swing at a random first pitch fastball.

wait, he used to take the first pitch and swing at it all at the same time? im confused

[Kevin]

oh he gets the pitches, i cant tell u how many first pitch fastballs right down the middle ive watched the guy take.

Thats a very good point. He does do that a ton.

Kevin i think you said what i was trying to say just more eloquent. I didnt mean to imply that he doesnt try hes a professional and clearly cares and does try. Maybe the better term is that he presses too much in those situations because he feels he does have to come up big.

[Knowledged_one]

oh he gets the pitches, i cant tell u how many first pitch fastballs right down the middle ive watched the guy take.

thats not necessarily the batter who calls for him to take a pitch there are times that those are manager/coaches decisions

[foodcourtdruide]

wait, he used to take the first pitch and swing at it all at the same time? im confused

lol, sorry I worded that poorly. He'd take the first pitch 90% of the time, but occassionally he'd take a home run cut at a first pitch.

[Kevin]

thats not necessarily the batter who calls for him to take a pitch there are times that those are manager/coaches decisions

At Arods level, i am pretty sure he has the green light to do whatever he wants to do in at bats. Maybe a hit and run at times, but not taking pitches.

It's impossible for you to "win" with this line of thinking. You just watching a bunch of games is in no way anywhere even close to actually tracking how well or poorly a player does in certain situations over an entire season. It's not that I don't understand you...I see Cubs fans do it all the time. I'll do it myself where I think a guy is doing really well or really poorly due to the games I've watched, but the information is always there in total to show how limited our scope is. There's nothing for you to explain...the numbers don't exist out of nothingness...if they're good, they exist due to results. Saying that you're right because you watch games automatically loses. It's like using the Nazi card in a debate: instant-fail. HBox is showing how he's a smart fan by NOT relying mostly on what he thinks he sees.

I watch every game, watch him play, i form my opinion. He in my mind is not clutch. And have no idea how a person can think he is .I really do not want to talk about it anymore. I said my peice and have my opinion.

This year, his clutch scenarios are really ranging between decent at best to downright bad in certain spots. And even in his best years, it's not like he's going to succeed in every clutch spot...no player does.

Honest question...where do you think the numbers come from? Do you think you're watching of games is more accurate than the stat tracking?

It's not really an issue of opinions. It's the equivalent of seeing that gas costs $4.06 at your local pump but refusing to believe that's the case since you have seen it many times over the years at lower prices.

This year, his clutch scenarios are really ranging between decent at best to downright bad in certain spots. And even in his best years, it's not like he's going to succeed in every clutch spot...no player does.

Honest question...where do you think the numbers come from? Do you think you're watching of games is more accurate than the stat tracking?

Hey they beat the Angels last night, by a 9 year minor leaguer who gave up 1 hit in 8-1/3 and you know that since he won and only gave up 1 hit his ERA is way low so hes gotta be an ace

Plus Adam Jones broke his foot and now i am inconsolable

I think he actually ate Wang and Hughes and that is why they both have these season long "injuries"

[TheGameHHH]

Ponson won't last more then 2 and 1/3 innings tonight, he will give up roughly 6 runs in that time. Meanwhile, whomever Texas is throwing tonight will go 8 innings, allow 3 hits and 0 earned.

THey are babying Joba. I'm thinking they are shutting him down for the season, no surgery.

i think it depends where they are in a month.......if they're only a few games out in the wild card they may bring him back, if they can, to make a playoff push. if it's clear the playoffs are a lost cause (which I think they will be) then they shut him down. theres really no point in rushing his recovery.

i also don't believe surgery will be necessary.

Yankees but an incentive clause in his deal. You pitch well, there is a nice big BLT and fries waiting for you in the clubhouse when you come out of the game.

I remember a time when a runner on 3rd with 1 out meant an almost definite run. Cuz people on the team understood the concept of a fly ball.

Those were good times.

Per Baseball Reference regarding ERA+:

Minimum of 1000 IP, 3000 PA and 100 decisions for career and active leaderboards for rate statistics.

Which means that previously Pedro was blowing away the field in the ERA+ department. but Mariano Rivera has now reached 1000 innings in his career, so he's the leader. Pedro's ERA+: 157. Rivera's ERA+: 197.

That really is incredible. Hats off to a truly great pitcher.

ARLINGTON – As if the Yankees didn't have enough problems in the starting rotation already, it now appears that Andy Pettitte might be forced to miss his next start.

According to a source with knowledge of the situation, Pettitte has been experiencing stiffness in his left arm, though it is unclear whether it is his shoulder or elbow that has been bothering him.

The issue will likely keep the lefthander from taking the mound on Sunday in Anaheim, which would force the Yankees to find yet another arm to fill a spot in the rotation.

Pettitte has been hit hard in each of his last two outings, giving up nine runs in 5 1/3 innings against the Angels on July 31 and five runs in five innings on Tuesday night against the Rangers.

Darrell Rasner, who was yanked from the rotation this week in favor of Dan Giese, is the only possible option on the active roster to take Pettitte's start. The Yankees could also dip down to the minors for Chase Wright, Alfredo Aceves or Kei Igawa, though none are on the 40-man roster.

The Yankees have Ian Kennedy set to return from the minors to make the start on Friday in Anaheim, while Giese is lined up to pitch Saturday against the Angels.

Pettitte is 12-9 with a 4.34 ERA this year, combining with Mike Mussina (14-7, 3.44) to solidify the top of the rotation in the absence of Chien-Ming Wang. With Joba Chamberlain on the disabled list and likely out for at least three weeks with rotator cuff tendonitis, an injury to Pettitte would leave yet another huge hole to fill for the Yankees during their postseason drive.
