If, At First…
Posted by Steve L. on May 11th, 2009 · Comments (13)
Tino Martinez replaced Don Mattingly as the Yankees first baseman in 1996. And, Jason Giambi replaced Martinez in 2002. Lastly, Mark Teixeira replaced Giambi this season.
So, how did each of these new Yankees first sackers do, with the bat, in their first 28 games with the Yankees? See below:
Mark Teixeira 2009: G PA R H HR RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG 28 130 18 21 7 17 21 23 .198 .338 .434 Tino Martinez 1996: G PA R H HR RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG 28 128 15 28 4 19 14 14 .255 .336 .400 Jason Giambi 2002: G PA R H HR RBI BB SO BA OBP SLG 28 123 14 29 4 15 14 25 .274 .374 .443
Giambi got off to a better start than Martinez and Teixeira. And, actually, the starts for Mark and Tino are somewhat close.
In any event, it probably goes without saying that Yankees fans would like to start seeing more from Teixeira with the bat…than what we’ve seen so far from him…
Week 5 – 2009
Posted by Steve L. on May 11th, 2009 · Comments (5)
What stands out the most in my mind, this past week, is the big bat of Johnny Damon. Yes, sure, this was the week where A-Rod returned and he went big fly on this first pitch he saw this season. But, com’on…how about that Johnny Damon? In 31 At Bats this week, Damon hit five homeruns. How crazy is that rate? Put it this way…with that rate…it would equal 97 homeruns in 600 At Bats. Man, what’s got into Johnny?
Stadium Salvage Sale Starts (May 12th)

There has been plenty of talk about per game costs of some of the best seats in the new Yankee Stadium, but how much will an actual seat from the old stadium cost?
Fans are expected to find out that price on Tuesday, when Steiner Sports, the memorabilia partner of the Yankees, announces the details.
While New York City still owns the stadium, sources confirmed to CNBC that the Yankees and Steiner agreed to pay the city $11.5 million to buy the seats, the foul poles, signage and some concrete.
The deal was first reported by the New York Daily News.
The Yankees have always owned the sod as well as game memorabilia such as jerseys, bats and lineup cards.
Last August, the Mets sold Shea Stadium seats for $869 a pair. The Yankees seats will likely go for more.
Well, back in May of 1974, you could get a seat from the “old” Yankee Stadium for $7.50 and some empty cigarette boxes…
For some reason, I don’t think they’re going to be that cheap this time…
May 10th @ The Orioles
Posted by Steve L. on May 10th, 2009 · Comments (10)
When Melky Cabrera made that throw on the Felix Pie single in the fourth, setting up a situation where the O’s had runners on second and third, with one out, and the Yankees already trailing by a score of 3-1, I thought that Joba Chamberlain was toast. I truly expected the flood gates to up at that point. But, give Joba credit – he got out of that and then posted two more good innings to boot.
Speaking of Chamberlain, he said all the right things in the post-game about Aubrey Huff mocking him with a fist pump after his first inning homer. Of course, Joba wouldn’t be in the position of being mocked, and then having to deal with these questions, if he toned down his act on the mound…
Hey, is Johnny Damon making his contract situation interesting, or what?
Lastly, how much fun is it to root for a guy like Francisco Cervelli?

Four-Finger Joba Going Today
Posted by Steve L. on May 10th, 2009 · Comments (1)
Via Bryan Hoch -
Joba Chamberlain was flipping a ball back to the infield during batting practice on Saturday when he felt something strange in his right thumb, perhaps from clipping a seam awkwardly.
Though Chamberlain felt no pain, he brought it to the attention of Yankees trainer Gene Monahan, who treated the right-hander for a popped blood vessel and expressed confidence that the hurler would be able to make his scheduled start Sunday against the Orioles.
“He threw a ball in, he looked down at his thumb and felt something,” Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. “He popped a blood vessel. But Geno did some treatment during the game and Geno doesn’t think it’s going to be an issue.”
Girardi said that Chamberlain had played catch earlier in the day and was able to grip a baseball with his black-and-blue thumb after the scare with no issues.
But the Yankees won’t be able to fully exhale until Chamberlain actually steps on the mound against Baltimore’s lineup.
Wow…just one week before the birthday of the only thumb-less player who wore his birthday on his back…
O.K., seriously, I’ve done a lot of research on this popped blood vessel in a finger thing today…and, it seems that many people have issues with this injury. And, the general theme is that no one seems to know, for sure, why it happens…but, when it starts, it keeps coming back. We’ll have to keep an eye on this one, for Chamberlain…as it may happen again now.
May 9th @ The Orioles
Posted by Steve L. on May 9th, 2009 · Comments (5)
I gave Phil Hughes a mulligan on his last start and this is what he does the next time out?
In the YES post-game coverage, Joe Girardi said that Hughes was “pushing” the ball and this caused his pitches to “get up” and be “flat.” And, in his post-game interview, Phil Hughes agreed – saying that his “arm slot was low” and this made him “push the ball.”
As I understand it, when a pitcher’s arm slot drops (or is low), having the elbow on the throwing arm lower, it forces the pitcher to “arm,” “push,” or “sling” the ball instead of “throwing” it. And, when this happens, a pitcher’s fastball develops a tailing action. Basically, when his slot drops, it doesn’t allow his fingers to stay on top of the ball and acquire the appropriate backspin for a true fastball.
For Hughes, tonight, this made his fastball more like a slider. And, a slider is basically a cutter – which Hughes does throw. So, in situations when he loses his slot, like today, Hughes goes from being a fastball/cutter/curve pitcher and becomes a (natural) slider/cutter/curve pitcher.
The latter is an issue because Hughes is inconsistent with his curve. Plus, if his fastball acts like a slider, which is the same as a cutter, it turns Hughes into a two-pitch pitcher: Slider/Cutter and Curveball. And, with that two-pitch only attack, hitters can sit on one pitch and hack…see: Ramirez, Edwar. (Although, for Ramirez, it’s fastball/change only and not cutter/curve only.)
Now, here comes the strange part. Last summer, Josh Kalk established that Hughes has an incredibly consistent arm slot. As he wrote then:
…if someone tells you that Hughes doesn’t have a consistent release point, they are wrong. Because his release point is so steady, you would think that comes from a very repeatable delivery and, indeed, that is reportedly one of his best traits. In fact, you have to wonder if his release point is too consistent.
So, what happened, all of a sudden, tonight, to make Phil lose his slot? If I had to guess, I would say it’s arm fatigue. I can remembering hearing, as far back as the 1970′s, “When a pitcher starts getting his pitches up in the zone, it’s because he’s tired and he can’t keep his elbow up in his delivery.”
This, of course, leads to the question: Why does Hughes have arm fatigue? (If my theory is true.)
I guess we’ll see…right? It will be interesting to see if Phil does better with this…his next time out.
Who Let The Dogs In? Maybe Yanks Should?
Posted by Steve L. on May 9th, 2009 · Comments (3)
Me, my wife, and the kids when to see the Lakewood BlueClaws host the Hickory Crawdads this afternoon. It was “Bark at the Park” day where fans got to bring their dogs into the park for the game. There were about 400 dogs there today. Gotta say, it was fun – especially for the kids – to see so many different kids of dogs inside FirstEnergy Park while watching the game.
Here’s the view from our seats today. [Click on the thumbnail to enlarge the image.]
As you can see, we were right behind some of the “off” players charting pitches – as well as behind several scouts. And, for the record, our seats were $9 each and the kids got in for $6 each.
Note the reading on the radar gun in the picture. Must have been a breaking pitch…at least, for the sake of the pitcher, I hope it was…
Maybe the Yankees should think about doing a “Bark at the Park” event? How funny would it be to see, during telecasts of games at the new Yankee Stadium, dogs filling what are now going as empty seats (in the “premium suite locations”)?
Nitwit Swisher
Posted by Steve L. on May 9th, 2009 · Comments (10)
Before a game on the Yankees last homestand, Nick Swisher, as he ran out to his position in right field in the top of the first inning, did a “Lambeau Leap” type move – where he sprung up against the outfield wall in order to give a fan a high-five. The problem was, on his “landing,” Swisher crashed down to the ground, ending up with his buttocks in the warning track dirt, and nearly sprained his back. Seeing this, YES broadcaster Kenny Singleton said something along the lines of “If I’m the Yankees, I put a stop to that move by Swisher in a hurry. He’s going to injure himself.”
In last night’s game, Nick Swisher, after doubling and then moving to third on a ground out, in the fouth inning, got picked off third base by the pitcher – sleeping on the bases so badly that Yankees third base coach Rob Thomson pushed him back to the bag…which is a no-no, per the rules. Swisher’s nap on the bases cost the Yankees a run in that spot.
In this evening’s game, during the bottom of the second with runners on first and second and no outs, Phil Hughes allowed Gregg Zaun to single to right. Nick Swisher, playing right field, picked up the ball and air-mailed a throw…way past home plate…when the lead runner, who was on second, had stopped at third base. Swisher’s throw then allowed the run to score while also allowing the runner on first to go to third and Zaun to reach second. The safe and secure play would have been to get the ball to the cut-off man. Instead, Swisher’s boner set-up Hughes for what would become a disaster of an inning.
Nick Swisher is showing us, in Yankeeland, that he’s a meathead on the field as much as he is in the clubhouse and when he’s hamming it up for the media.
I know that I may come across, to some, like Siegfried saying “This is Kaos. We don’t shush here!” when I say this, but, frankly, someone needs to take Nitwit Swisher aside and tell him “We’re the Yankees. We don’t play with our craniums lodged in our sphincter here.”
There’s a pattern forming with respect to Swisher’s on field actions and it needs to be nipped in the bud. Pronto.

May 8th @ The Orioles
Posted by Steve L. on May 9th, 2009 · Comments (7)
Alex Rodriguez: $275 million for ten years, plus, maybe, another $30 million down the line…
CC Sabathia: $161 million for seven years, unless, he opts out of the deal after 2011…and then it would be $69 million for three years…
Watching Rodriguez and Sabathia perform in this game: Priceless…
O.K.. joking aside, it was very exciting when A-Rod hit that homer on his first pitch and swing of the season. Although, I suspect that YES, and especially Michael Kay, will keep going back to this highlight, from now until the end of time, as if it was as important as the Chambliss HR in the 1976 ALCS, Reggie’s One Game 3 Series HRs in 1977, the Dent HR on 10/2/78, the Leyritz 1996 Series HR, the Brosius and Tino Series HRs in 2001, and the Boone 2003 ALCS HR combined…
And, CC was super this in the contest – and just what the doctor ordered for the team, at this time. And, Sabathia, now, is just the 11th Yankees pitcher to throw a shutout victory, on the road, since 1996 (with the others being Mike Mussina, David Wells, Andy Pettitte, Ramiro Mendoza, Hideki Irabu, Carl Pavano, Ted Lilly, Orlando Hernandez, Roger Clemens and Aaron Small). Think about that, for a minute. A Yankees pitcher, since 1996, throws a shutout win, on the road, about 2% of the time. So, what we saw from Sabathia in this one was rare stuff…and then some.
Ian Kennedy To Go Under Knife For Aneurysm
Posted by Steve L. on May 9th, 2009 · Comments (1)
Via the AP -
New York Yankees pitcher Ian Kennedy will have surgery next week for an aneurysm under his right biceps, the latest setback for a team slowed by injuries.
The 24-year-old Kennedy was pitching in Triple-A this season after going 0-4 with a 8.17 ERA for New York last year. The righty had felt numbness in his pitching hand last month.
Doctors diagnosed Kennedy with an aneurysm around his biceps. Dr. George Todd, who operated on pitcher David Cone’s aneurysm in 1996, will do the procedure. It was uncertain when Kennedy would be able to pitch again.
Cone pitched no-hit ball for seven innings against Oakland in his return from that surgery. Manager Joe Girardi told Kennedy that story, hoping to reassure him before the pitcher sees Todd on Tuesday.
“This guy does really good work,” Girardi told Kennedy.
I hope that Cone reaches out to Kennedy on this one. Hearing what it’s like, having to deal with this, from someone who’s been there, could help. Scary stuff, indeed. Cross you fingers for Ian, the person, on this one – and then worry about the ball player part down the line.

First Posada & Now Molina…
Posted by Steve L. on May 8th, 2009 · Comments (9)
What is it about Jose Molina once he gets pressed into full-time duty? This is two years in a row where he’s gone down, no?
Maybe now that A-Rod is back, the Yankees can build a pitch-back like device out of Alex’s collection of Kiana Tom Flex Appeal DVDs and set that up behind the plate and go without a catcher until Posada or Molina comes back to action? That would be better than Kevin Cash or Chris Stewart…no?
May 7th vs. The Rays
Posted by Steve L. on May 7th, 2009 · Comments (21)
Did you know that, from April 20, 2007 through May 29, 2007, the Yankees went 13-23…and had a five-game and seven-game losing streak during that time? Of course, that was when New York was sending Jeff Karstens, Chase Wright, Kei Igawa, Tyler Clippard and Matt DeSalvo out there to start games for them.
In the last 13 games of the present day Yankees, they’ve gone 4-9…and New York is currently in a five-game losing streak. But, this has come under the rotation of Joba Chamberlain, Phil Hughes, CC Sabathia, A.J. Burnett and Andy Pettitte. Geez, this means the next 23 games has got to be better this year, right? There’s no way the Yankees can go 9-14 in their next 23 games and match that terrible early season run (of 13-23) that they had in 2007, is there?
At this moment, I’m not so sure that they won’t avoid it matching that run from two years ago – or doing worse.
Then again, it could just be the aftertaste of this game that makes me feel that way…
Oh, and, Mo? Yikes. Four homers allowed in his last five games? Is it just a slump…or worse?
Man, there’s that “or worse?” question again…
In the end, I guess, the two big questions in Yankeeland today are, after this game…just how far down is “rock-bottom” and “are we there yet?”

Manny Being Juiced
Posted by Steve L. on May 7th, 2009 · Comments (18)
Via ESPN –
Major League Baseball is expected to announce Thursday that Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Manny Ramirez has tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs and will be suspended for 50 games, The Los Angeles Times is reporting.
Ramirez’s suspension is expected to be announced Thursday, The Times said.
Triple-A outfielder Xavier Paul has been told by the Dodgers that he will be promoted later today, according to The Times.
Well, this should take the spotlight off A-Rod for a day or two…
Wild Thought: Missing The Upper-Tank Tater In Right
Posted by Steve L. on May 7th, 2009 · Comments (12)
In an e-mail exchange today with a friend, we were discussing how the new Yankee Stadium isn’t “home” yet – the way that the old Stadium was…because of all the time we spent at the old Stadium and the need to see more games at the new Stadium in order for it to have that “familiar” feeling when you’re there. (For the record, I do feel the new Stadium growing on me. I’ve been there for three games now and have felt better about being there each time.)
However, one “familiar” thing from the old Stadium that I will miss at the new Stadium is the homerun into the upper-tank in right field. That was such a Yankee Stadium signature snapshot in my mind. Whether it was Oscar Gamble, Reggie Jackson, Mel Hall, Don Mattingly, Tino Martinez, David Justice or even Johnny Damon, there was just something cool about watching a lefty Yankees batter launch one into the upper-deck in right.
With the new Stadium, to get one into the upper-deck in right field, you’re going to need to book a seat for the ball on the Space Shuttle. Sure, maybe, once in a blue moon, someone might get one up there – but, it’s not going to happen, say, 15 times a year.
Anywho, that’s today’s wild thought: Missing the upper-tank tater in right at Yankee Stadium. How about you, will you miss it too?
Hal Stein More Worried About Tickets Than Team
Posted by Steve L. on May 7th, 2009 · Comments (23)
Via George King -
Hal Steinbrenner was in town Tuesday and yesterday and again demonstrated he isn’t wired the same way his father is when it comes to reacting to an underachieving baseball team that has cost his family millions in talent.
Instead of stopping by the clubhouse to give the Yankees a tongue lashing in the wake of them being 0-for-5 against the Red Sox, Hal focused on ticket issues with staff members.
Manager Joe Girardi said he didn’t talk with Hal during his stay in The Bronx.
According to several organizational sources Girardi’s job security isn’t an issue. Too many injuries too early in the season and slow starts by CC Sabathia and Mark Teixeira. And he hasn’t had cleanup hitter Alex Rodriguez play a game, lost Chien-Ming Wang early and Jorge Posada recently.
Though Girardi said he understands the attention that comes with managing the Yankees, he said he isn’t fixated on those who blame him for the pedestrian start and being dominated by the Red Sox.
“That’s not something I really focus on. I focus on the task at hand. Every day we do the best we can to prepare our club and every move we make is to win the game and that’s what I focus on,” said Girardi, who has been hamstrung by an awful bullpen.
When it was mentioned that two decades ago The Boss would have axed him, Girardi reacted calmly. “I really don’t [think about it]. I focus on doing my job. In our life . . . if you start thinking every time you went 0-for-8 you were going to get benched, you wouldn’t go out there with your best which would be wrong,” Girardi said. “So you have to learn to just focus on the task that day and sometimes in focusing on the task you think about tomorrow as well, in the way you use someone, but really your focus is how do you win that day?”
When I read this, the small mention that resonates the most with me is King’s comment that Girardi has been hamstrung by an awful bullpen. At what point does the blame for the bullpen situation get assigned to someone? Yeah, I know, I know…”Well, Bruney got hurt….”
Bull. Anyone with an objective eye looking at Bruney’s history could tell you that he always gets hurt. And, if your plan to make the bullpen work centered all around relying on Brian Bruney, then you’re a very poor planner.
Someone in the Yankees brain-trust should have looked at Veras and Ramirez and seen that they were hot and cold last year – and could not be trusted to do well consistently in the majors. They should have noted that Bruney is brittle. And, perhaps, based on what’s reported lately, they should have seen that Marte may not have the stomach for New York. And, as such, they should have – at the least – had a “Plan B” other than “Let’s hope that some of the kids can step up.”
Pin it on Cashman. Pin it on Girardi. Pin it on Dave Eiland and/or Mike Harkey. Heck, pin it on someone and let’s make them accountable for it – because, right now, it’s the Gorilla in the room that’s ruining the party and everyone on the Yankees is trying to pretend like they don’t know how it got there.
Today, I’d love to see Hal Steinbrenner be more interested in holding someone’s feet to the fire over the state of the Yankees bullpen than ticket sales. But, then again, maybe that’s just me?
Lester: We May Have To Do Something About Joba
Posted by Steve L. on May 7th, 2009 · Comments (14)
Via WEEI’s Full Count Blog with a H/T to BBTF, Bosox pitcher Jon Lester on Joba Chamberlain’s buzzing Red Sox hitters -
“It’s one of those deals where I’m all for throwing in, but there comes a point somebody, whether it be baseball or the opponent, has to step in and say enough is enough,” said [Jon Lester]. “Balls have gone over guys heads and gone up too close. There’s a difference between throwing in and making a point and he definitely tries to make some points. I don’t know if he’s trying to him there or not, but he did and it looks bad because J-Bay did hit a home run off of him, along with the history with us and other players. He always come back and says the ball slipped, I wasn’t trying to hit anybody. One time you can fool us, two times you can maybe say OK, but it’s gotten old. In baseball it’s one of those deals where you can’t really think there’s a punishment necessary. It’s one of those deals where we might have to police it ourselves a little bit more, I don’t know.”
This is a sticky one for me. I’m 100% in favor of moving batters off the plate – as long as it’s done correctly…meaning coming inside from the shoulders down (and not throwing behind a guy). And, I’ll all in favor of drilling a guy when one of your guys gets drilled. And, in the eye-for-an-eye case, I’m OK with throwing behind a guy – again, as long as it’s from the shoulders down.
But, I’m against throwing at, or near, a guy’s head. Stress the “near” part there. If someone wants to throw a pitch and it’s three feet over the batter’s head, to send a message, I’m not going to get too upset over that one either.
And, I’m against drilling a guy for no other reason other than the fact that you can’t get him out or because the team he plays for is beating you up that day. That’s just weak, in my book.
So, where does Joba fall here? If he was playing for a team other than the Yankees, I might say he’s hitting guys because they’re batting well against him. And, I might say that he’s coming too close to batters’ heads. So, to be fair, I have to say the same thing about him as a Yankee, no?
No, don’t get me wrong. Roger Clemens and Pedro Martinez are going to the Hall of Fame and they both did what I’m saying Chamberlain is doing here. So, it’s not like Joba’s a being a punk like no one ever before…
What do you think of Joba’s shaving the Sox and Lester’s comments?
Checking Back On A March 10th Yanks Prediction
Posted by Steve L. on May 7th, 2009 · Comments (16)
Back on March 10, 2009, I listed several reasons why “things may not be all puppy dogs and cupcakes in Yankeeland when the calendar shows the date of May 7, 2009.”
So, it’s now May 7, 2009. And, when you look at the A.L. standing this morning, you see that the Yankees are 13-14 and 5.5 games out of first place.
Knowing this, how would you classify the state of the Yankees at this point in time? Would you sign-off on that not all puppy dogs and cupcakes grade? If not, why?
May 6th vs. The Rays
Posted by Steve L. on May 7th, 2009 · Comments (12)
Man, I really thought that Mark Teixeira was going to tie this one in the bottom of the 10th. No dice.
And, I was really hoping that Hideki Matsui would pick up Teixeira in that frame. No dice, again.
With this loss, the Yankees have now dropped 8 of their last 13 games. That’s bad. But, consider this…
Thirteen games ago, the Yankees got lucky in beating the A’s – when Oakland ran out of pitchers and
Jose Veras pitched out of character, meaning “well,” for New York.
And, the Yankees were lucky to beat the Angels twice, when Los Angeles was in New York, because
the Halos pen handed the Bombers both those games.
There’s a very good chance, based on the way New York has played, that they could (should?) be in a spot where
they’ve lost 11 of their last 13 games. As such, is it a reach to say that Yankees have been a bunch of sad sacks the last two weeks?
And, I won’t even mention that they were just barely a .500 team before that.
Whoops.
I just did.

Yanks To Call Up Tomko Soon?
Posted by Steve L. on May 6th, 2009 · Comments (7)
Via Tyler Kepner –
[Brett] Tomko had a 0.69 E.R.A. through Tuesday, allowing one run in 13 innings, with 15 strikeouts and four walks [in Triple-A].
Tomko is not on the 40-man roster, but that is not the reason he remains in the minors. Tomko has dealt with a mild oblique strain this week and the Yankees want to make sure he is healed.
“We’re happy we have Tomko, and I’m sure you’re going to see him soon enough,” Brian Cashman said. “He’s doing everything he can do and he’s a big choice for us. If we make that choice, we just want to make sure he’s ready to go. I’m sure he’ll be fine rather soon.”
Ah, the Cashman stamp of approval. For those new to our planet, this means that Tomko should be just as good as Jay Witasick, Felix Heredia, Paul Quantrill, Gabe White, Juan Acevedo, Billy Traber, Octavio Dotel, Jim Brower, LaTroy Hawkins, Bret Prinz, and Felix Rodriguez were for the Yankees…working out of their pen.
