News & Notes
- Joba Chamberlain has made six appearances against the Indians including one start. In those games he's 0-1, with a 6.75 ERA. In 10.2 innings he's allowed eight runs on seven hits, walked seven and struck out 13. He's made three appearances at Progressive Field, all in relief, and has not allowed a run in four innings. He started against them back on April 17th and the new stadium and allowed five runs on six hits, walked five and struck out four in 4.2 innings pitched in a no decision.
- In three career starts against the Yankees, Jeremy Sowers is 1-1, with a 6.60 ERA. He made one start against the Yanks last year and got a no decision. In 5.1 innings he allowed three runs on seven hits, walked one and struck out three.
- The Yankees have not committed an error in 17 straight games, tying them with the 2006 Red Sox for the MLB record.
- Derek Jeter has a 14-game hitting streak, and Mark Teixeira has hit safely in 13 straight. Teixeira is also coming off a monster month of May, hitting .330/.391/.748 with 13, and 34 RBI.
- Why the hell is Angel Berroa playing?
- The Indians placed RHP Rafael Betancourt on the 15-day DL with a strained right groin. To replace him they recalled LHP Tony Sipp from Triple-A Columbus.
UPDATE 5:41 p.m.: According to Peter Abraham, Jose Molina re-inured his strained left quad in an extended spring training game today down in Florida. He will most likely head to New York to be examined. Looks like he won't be coming back anytime soon.
Also according to Pete, Xavier Nady tried to start his throwing program today but had to stop after he felt discomfort in his right elbow. He will attempt to throw again tomorrow.

Stick around and discuss the game

yeah why is Berroa playing? I mean, i understand they want to give A-rod a break at third but how come Berroa and not Pena.
theres goes 18 in a row
I know Pena hasn't been hitting, but based on defense alone Berroa shouldn't start over Pena.
agreed
Pena has trouble with left handed pitchers. With a strikeout pitcher in Chamberlain on the mound and no Damon and Matsui maybe Girardi wants a better bat in Berroa than Pena.
Also I know I might be nitpicking but wouldn't it be better putting Melky in right and Swisher left.
Thank god we have Cervelli.
So Angel Berroa is still alive?
Hard news to take on Nady and Molina. If we lose Molina for the year, I would like to see Cervelli catch 3 games a week with Posada sitting or in the DH role so Cervelli's devolopment won't get hindered.
If Nady needs to get Tommy-John...Hello Mr. Holliday...I see the Yanks sellin' whatever we have from the farm for this guy..Right Move? Probably not, but who knows.
Coop.
Mark Derosa would be a great trade option if Nady is done for the season.
Very true, Anon.
A lot depends on how well Melky and Gardner do over the next few weeks.
@ Greg thats a good point.
If Melky keeps playing the way he is playing and Garnder in his last 47 at bats is hitting 319 with a 385 on base along with Swisher that is a nice trio of players.
They need bullpen help
Hey Greg,
I found this site
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/create-online-petition
Anyone else thinking of the Gate 2 thing...I can't start it bc my dumb parents dont let me give out my address.
We used that site where I work. We used it to get a better couch and coffee machine. Worked like a charm when customers started signing it, haha, aahh the good ole' days.
Coop.
That's bad news about Nady. Hopefully his arm heals. We could use his bat. Stinks that Molina hurt himself again but then again Cervelli is doing well so it's not such a big deal.
dudes, hit up, bostondirtdogs.com they now have pink red sox hats with watermelons on them, it says something about scratch and sniff but i dont know if its legit, frikkin hilarious though.
Joba needs to work on lowering that 5.0 BB/9
yeah, the walks are a little much, looks good so far tonight, nice seeing him hit high 90's
btw, those hats are freaking hilarious, just dont want a yankee version of that p.o.s
Joba in the first: Fastball sitting at 95 mph, and hit 97. Slider and curve look really sharp. Now if he can only continue this throughout.
A change-up sighting as well.
hahahaaha nice hats.
oh no the heckler from tampa is in cleveland
'Gulls are everywhere, whats in the grass @ progressive/jacobs there that them b-stards like.
Still can't call strikes...
Anon, don't get me wrong, I really like DeRosa and I think he would be a great addition to the team. I just think the Yankees themselves will wait before making a deal.
Ugh, they do have a Yankees version of those hats.
Jeter makes the bunt look easy at times, like the way he reloads the bat, you just know your know your screwed.
Damn... Swisher couldn't even beat that out...
Not a productive inning...
Jeter is a great bunter.
At least they got a run, but Swisher really screwed up that inning. I think he's getting a little overaggressive and swinging too early in the count.
Jeter nice play there buddy.
He is a great bunter, hes a great fileder too as we just saw.
Normally I wouldn't agree with that, Optimus, but he's been very good this year. Amazingly, this has (so far) been his best year defensively.
Cano is slow as hell too... my goodness a middle infielder...
Cano killed that one quick.
I'm going to guess that the fastball above his head was intentional. You can't miss by that much and then throw a perfect curve on the outside corner on the next.
I don't mind it. One to Martinez would have been better though...
The sight of Berroa kills me.
Wicked. Jobas got some nasty stuff tonight. Homer was a bummer though.
True, the homer was annoying, but his stuff has been great tonight.
Melky gave me a scare there for a moment. Geez.
Need to hand a crooked number next inning...
I just looked at the hourly forecast and satellite, it's not supposed to start raining in Cleveland until 11. What is Kay making a big deal about?
Wow, what a great play. Let's hope he's not hurt.
Joba: I don't need you, Angel.
JOBA IS A BEAST YO!
Holy shit, what a great play by Joba!!!
lmao, his hangtime was funny as hell...
love the defense this inning.
Pettitte and CC were having a good laugh about it. lol
Hahahah now they got Dave Eiland involved.
73 pitches after 5 innings is too high again. And, why is Posada playing catcher again? This is ridiculous. This organization has a love affair with old men. And, what a terrible throw on a pitchout.
73 through five is really not bad at all. That's 14.5 pitches per inning. If he keeps up that pace he'll be at 102 after 7.
Sowers has soured.
Nah he's going for the triple play. You just wait and see.
no he aint, hes out of the game now, hes soured.
No wonder I didn't get a callback for the manager position when Torre left.
Luckily the umpires are garbage, jobs should be opening up soon in that department.
I thought the guy was serious... then thought he was joking... but if he's serious... lulz.
Arods classic choke.
What is Posada doing?
Cano needs a big hit here.
Well, that sucked.
This is ridiculous... I could drive someone in with bases loaded and no outs... pathetic...
holy shit, way to do nothing with everything fellas.
I know this sounds weird, but Joba needs to pick up the offense now, and go out and throw a quick inning.
Ahhhh, the nightly Mark Teixeira web gem.
Bwahahahahaha! Bases loaded with no outs and they get nothing. Let me guess JORGE POSADA was involved. Gee, who couldn't have guessed that! Posada SUCKS. He comes back and instantly ruins this team, mojo and momentum. Hes a killer at catcher and a killer at the plate. Flipping ridiculous that it only took 2 games for Posada to return and this team looks EXACTLY like it did BEFORE he was injured. Pathetic.
Nobody cares.
...
There's that quick inning I was talking about.
"Bwahahahaha"?
Are you the official 'bad guy'? Mojo Jojo Jr?
hahahahaha
Unfortunatly Posada can perform like a leech sometimes.
Got Melky? Callin' it
or not.
Wow, I didn't know... Garner in May: .327/.417/.538
I knew he had a good month, but I didn't know he did that well. Impressive.
popeyes chicken suscks, screw that commercial. lol.
Atta boy Swish!
..what are you watching? what commercial?
There we go...
I'm surprised one of those birds hasn't gotten clocked yet.
Winfield killed a seagull in Toronto once.
Vizcainooooo
Alright A-Rod! 5-1 Yanks!!
lmao... I can laugh at it.... but what the hell was Tex doing...
Big hit by A-Rod, stupid base running by Tex though. You can't get hung up like that.
I'm convinced they should bench swisher for the home games and make him play only on the road. He's a different player on the road.
You might be on to something Robert.
Greg I think Joba read your velocity posts
Joba seems like he's done... oh well, we'll need him in the playoffs...
hahahaha,
Tonight he's got some of the best stuff he's had in a while. And 95 pitches through seven isn't bad at all. Very good start for Joba.
Wow, looks like he's gonna stick with Joba.
What in the world is he thinking...
Well, if he could go out there and not injure his shoulder, then why not?
Can Kay at least wait till he finishes the inning?
I'm a little surprised they are keeping him in. They benched Phil with 101 pitches through 8. I guess the heat was too much for Phil but the bugs aren't bothering Joba. This is one of Joba's best start he's ever had hands down.
I'm talking about Pena bunting/striking out...
BOOM!
thats wut im talkin bout/
lmao, the Joba meter...
lol, I can't wait to hear Francesa tomorrow.
Gotta be happy with a 5-2 trip. Joba was nasty, but the debate will only grow as to where he should be. Now we get to go home and play HR Derby with Texas.
and that's why we should leave joba as a starter...sure he'll have some bad games...part of the learning process...but his potential is big...
@ Robert
I think Girardi kept Joba in the 8th because it was still a close game. The Hughes game in Texas was a blowout.
wow fans, we've weathered the early injuries, struggles, slow starts, etc, & are where we need to be, 1st place, unbeleiveable, & everyone is getting along, joking laughing together, going to other events together, you gotta love it,
I think Girardi kept Joba in the game to appease the "Joba to the bullpen" fans. lol
