What ever happened to Chamberlain's high cheese? The fastball just isnt there

TMS @ 10/22/2009 11:02 PM

someone let loose the gnats again!

turning point was aybar down 0-2 to walking. that's inexcusable and 100% on aj.

VDesai @ 10/22/2009 11:03 PM

Girardi should've have more confidence in Dave Robertson

he has not been the same since he got hurt in texas. i don't know if they messed with his mechanics but after that...totally different guy.

and now the catcher goes out to talk to him midcount...wtf?!?!?

Neither AJ or Hughes could make a good 2 strike pitch when they needed to

The mistake was not to start the inning with Hughes or Joba...probably asked too much out of AJ

Too much? To go 7 innings for a pitcher making 80 million dollars? At some point we've got to stop blaming the manager for everything and hold the actual players accountable. All AJ had to do was give us a decent outing and we're preparing for Philly. He was pathetic. Not Girardi's fault.

Salary has nothing to do with game situations. Guy rallied to get through 6 after having a bad first. Anything more is pushing your luck at that point. Gotta be ready with the trigger. His outing was pretty decent after all since he had the lead in the 7th.

Meanwhile Joba sucks as a reliever too

You have to have faith in him or else you dont give him a contract like that. Its not like it was the 8th inning and he was sitting on 120 pitches. He's got to get you through the 7th. Point blank.

VDesai @ 10/22/2009 11:04 PM

Wow he won't even try to throw the high fastball....just sliders

djsunyc @ 10/22/2009 11:04 PM

there you go...some cheese...

VDesai @ 10/22/2009 11:04 PM

There ya go

TMS @ 10/22/2009 11:05 PM

96 mph fastball... looks like his velocity is fine to me... he's just not locating where he wants to

djsunyc @ 10/22/2009 11:05 PM

i will say this - the game has turned into a classic...

sebstar @ 10/22/2009 11:05 PM

We see the difference between a big time pitcher in CC coming through on 3 days rest and AJ.

AJ got that contract on stuff, not heart, poise, composure, or results.

VDesai @ 10/22/2009 11:05 PM

Good job keeping it in the infield

this is true...he's an adventure...but he did the job twice...

like i said earlier, the more telling stat is his performance on the road vs. home...

TMS @ 10/22/2009 11:06 PM

we need a K here, cuz u won't DP Figgins

VDesai @ 10/22/2009 11:06 PM

Rivera getting ready

VDesai @ 10/22/2009 11:07 PM

Yankees stalling

TMS @ 10/22/2009 11:07 PM

stalling for Mo... 1 more magic trick up your sleeve Mo? come on Ol' Reliable!

VDesai @ 10/22/2009 11:08 PM

Got kind of silly there...Not sure Rivera has had enough time

djsunyc @ 10/22/2009 11:08 PM

joba + hughes didn't get the job done.

god bless mariano but we can't expect him to not let that run score from 3rd - that would be inhuman...
