to be fair Robertson hasn't really earned it either... ugh, leadoff hit to Puke

Behind Mo of course and Hughes, Robertson was probably our 3rd best out of the bullpen last year...Just sayin'

OMFG!!!

Go right at this guy Marte..Don't get to cute and try to get too fine...

Jesus....Bad throw but Tex has gotta come up with that...

Finestrg @ 4/6/2010 10:33 PM
Big out...1 away
Finestrg @ 4/6/2010 10:33 PM
Joba's gotta get Beltre right here...
VDesai @ 4/6/2010 10:33 PM
Too much managing from Joe in my opinion. Would've made sense to start and finish this inning with Joba.
TMS @ 4/6/2010 10:35 PM
Joba time... Beltre's been hitting the ball hard tonight... i would stay down & away w/the slider or up & in w/the heat... don't challenge him in the middle til Joba's velocity gets back up in the upper 90s

I think so...I hope this lights a fire under Chamberlain, I really do...Come in now and from game 2 of the season, seize this role...

Lets go JC -- get nasty...

TMS @ 4/6/2010 10:36 PM
95mph, better than the other night at least
Finestrg @ 4/6/2010 10:37 PM
Atta boy Joba!
TMS @ 4/6/2010 10:39 PM
nasty slider... Joba looks much better tonight!

PUMP THAT FIST KID!

Finestrg @ 4/6/2010 10:40 PM
F YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Huge.
VDesai @ 4/6/2010 10:40 PM
Joba!
Finestrg @ 4/6/2010 10:41 PM
I think he just officially became the 8th inning guy!

Yup. Just leave him alone now. He's the 8th inning guy and the eventual closer. Case closed...I didn't mind the experiment at first of trying to make him a starter (I thought maybe we had another Justin Verlander here), but it didn't work and we weren't getting the best outta him...Haven't got the best outta him the last couple of years now..That's gotta change.. Now's the time to return this kid to what he does well and leave him there..

Meanwhile Robbie launches one! Love all the Yankee fans representin' in the right field stands..LOL!

Nice win..
TMS @ 4/6/2010 10:59 PM
YANKEES WIN! DAAAAA YANKEES WIN!

I usually avoid the I-told-you-sos, but in this case, I remember getting chastised here for suggesting that Joba was and is better suited in the bullpen last season.

so, HA!

It was very refreshing seeing Joba put it together in a tiget spot last night. I was very impressed with the amount of Yankee fans in the stadium as well. NY representing. We'll see if Andy looks like Andy or if his age truly begins to manifest itself. Bullpen is a little tired, so it'd be nice to seem him throw 7 innings, but that seems unlikely.
