Solid win. Any time you can open a series scoring 6 against Halladay you're in good shape.

Slobathia is pissing me off a little bit lately. I really thought that he was going to piss that 5-0 lead away. Thankfully he didn't.

Watching the Finals!

This gutless offense is too tough too watch. I'm having a hard time staying awake during Yankee games these days.

Joba can't remain the 8th inning man. Until a trade is made it should probably be D-Rob.

Joba sucks. As much as I hate to say it, it seems morons like Francesser and Madden were right; making him a starter could ruin his career. He has turned into a totally different pitcher ever since the nonsense the Yankees did in 2008 and 2009.

The best thing may have been to leave him right where he was. The best thing for him right now would be to send him down to AAA and hope a reality check gets him back to where he needs to be.

Yeah, you're right. the Chambermaid needs a wake up call. Send him to Scranton and make Marte the 8th inning guy. Beside Mo,,, this bullpen sucks! :no1:

Golson? Huffman?? Boone Logan??? Russo???? :wtf: I better see Cashman get us a quality arm for the pen and a nice bat for the bench or I'm gonna hit tha rooooof! :furious2:

Joba needs to take responsibility for himself. Its not as if he's the first pitcher to ever go back and forth to begin his career. Everyone blames everybody else for him not being able to repeat his delivery and having zero consistency.

Nobody is making him a starter. He IS and WAS a starter. So if anything making him a reliever is what ruined his career. Actually bouncing him back and forth to please stupid fans is what i would blame.

He needs the same thing he needed in April. To start in tripple A and get as many reps as possible in on days he starts and have enough days in between appearances to work on crap.

A nutritionist and personal trainer wouldn't hurt either.

It's silliness to blame this on going back and forth between the rotation and the pen. STOP. He is what he is, he caught lightning in a bottle in 2007 and was fantastic and since then as been up and down everywhere he's been. He sucks, just deal with it.

Bullshit. He was unhittable in 2007. And was unhittable in the bullpen in 2008 until they started stretching him out to be a starter. All of a sudden 98-100 mph was gone and he was throwing 94-96. Then he got hurt and has been garbage since with his blazing 92 mph fastballs and lifeless breaking balls.

It all started going downhill the moment they started stretching him out to be a MLB starter. I was behind the move at the time, but I was dead wrong and the morons were right.

2007 was not "lightening in a bottle." That is bullshit. 100 mph and an unhittable slider are not lightening in a bottle, that was pure electric stuff. Stuff like that doesn't just vanish from 22 year olds for no reason. He lost it because of the Yankees stupidity and silliness with him.

He was still throwing hard and had great stuff when he was doing the back and forth. It started after the shoulder tedinitis or whatever it was that game in Texas. They shut him down for a while and he came back with weaker stuff and it's continued. Not just the velocity, but his control and the late break on his slider. He throws it now and it looks like a ball when it's halfway to the plate. It's either the injury or his own fault. Saying it was the organization's back and forth is giving him an easy out. I'd said in the offseason: Putting him back in the bullpen isn't gonna fix him and we're not getting '07 back just like that. His problems are deeper than starter/reliever. If he can't regain the stuff he had two years ago, he won't be great and he's just gonna frustrate as a setup man. I remember saying something like, "At least if he gets slapped for three runs in the first inning as a starter, the team has a chance to recover. If he does that sh*t in the eighth inning, it's probably a loss." I don't know if many people replied or agreed with it. The point was, if he couldn't regain his old form, he should be traded before he was fully exposed. He might've reached that point now, though.

Strider remembers the events correctly. I don't get how people easily forget how joba dominated as a starter, throwing 97 mph on his 97th pitch of big gones against Boston. Pitchers have gone back and forth since the beginning of baseball.
