Jeter says he will play tomorrow
-
- April
- 24
Sorrry about the lack of posts but the internet access here has been very spotty.
Derek Jeter said he had a bruise but expects to play tomorrow night. … Chien-Ming Wang threw 81 pitches, one over the limit they had set for him. He was obviously very good and didn’t deserve the loss. … Mike Myers had gotten Carl Crawford to pop to third on Monday night. Crawford was 4 for 21 against him before that grand slam. Myers made no excuses, saying he left a slider up. “That’s his job,” Torre said.
That’s five losses in a row for the Yankees for the first time since May 28-June 3, 2005.
“We’re going through a bad streak right now and we just need to turn it around. Nobody’s going to help us; we have to do it ourselves,” Torre said. “There’s no shortcut. This is where you really test your mettle here. This is the tough part about playing our game. This is where you earn your money. We have to turn this thing around.â€?

Just say it Pete. Torre’s doing a very sub-par job thus far
Just gotta keep grinding. No one is obviously going to feel sorry for us (the Yankees). Get the intensity up and adrenaline pumping and run off about 7 or 8 straight. GO YANKS! P.S. Yes I know it takes more than intensity and adrenaline, like pitching. So save those posts back. I just love the Yankees my whole family does and we truly can make this work this year. KT
My God in Heaven, Torre is just a dolt. Was he trying to use every cliche and “baseball phrase” in the book?
And I’m sure the press treated him with kid gloves, as usual.
Torre is clearly trying to help everyone earn their money by trying to get as many players in the game as possible. That’s a lot of mettle to test!
This loss is a lot on Joe Torre. He is doing a terrible job managing this team.
1) Why was Wang on a pitchcount? He injury was not to his arm, shoulder, or elbow.
2) Bringing in a reliever to IBB someone is stupid. He loses the strike zone. You have the exiting pitcher do it on his way out. This is high school level coaching.
3) Bases loaded, 1 out, we need a ground ball… so let’s ditch Wang, who induces the most ground balls of anyone in the American League to bring in a guy with shaky control who has been overworked. Awesome. Not to mention the IBB he just threw.
4) The *second* we got a 1 run lead, Torre stupidly takes out Phelps (who has been swinging hot and hasn’t made any defensive miscues) and Damon. We now have a huge black hole in the lineup, and look who was up to end the game.
Pinch running MELKY (who isn’t that fast) with two outs and CAIRO at the plate? The odds that Cairo got a hit there were less than 20% - what was the point of putting a faster runner on third?
Melky Cabrera came into tonight with the 6th lowest VORP of any player with more than 50 AB in MLB. It was a -5.9, which means he is producing below the level of a typical guy you can call up from AAA at any time, a fringe player. After tonight it might even be lower.
Torre brings in Myers, which is the right move, but every move before that was terrible. He just sets this team up for failure in the late innings, trying to manage every game like it’s Game 7 of the World Series.
Thanks for the rings, but Joe has to go.
Do we have a motto yet this year?
It’s good to see Torre still has fire in his belly. I wonder if he let the tough scribes from the NY media rub it for good luck. Oh well…another game full of head scratching moves and no challenging questions for Joe. Maybe the beat writers are vying for a future book deal or a crack at Torre’s Hawaii time share.
Remember Torre’s really hamstringed right now. I’d like to think his tactics do work with a healthier rotation and therefore a more rested bullpen.
A defensive replacement works better if you have relievers who aren’t worn out. Giving Melky AB’s is great, but it’s also less of a gamble when you have a pen which can hold a lead or 2 in a week.
The problem is that Torre is notorious for ruining bullpens when the rotation is healthy. What’s to say that if the rotation were to start pitching better that the bullpen is going to be magically healed?
Giving Melky at bats in a one run game is the stupidest thing I have ever heard of, besides taking out Wang when you need a ground ball and have an overworked pen.
*He is the 6th worst hitter in the major leagues*
Johnny Damon doesn’t need a defensive replacement. These are the New York Yankees, they are going to score lots of runs if you just leave them alone, but Torre insists on pinch running in useless situations, and putting in defensive replacements the second we get a lead.
Im still convinced all the Negatives Nancy’s here are one guy.
Its a long season. Im pissed we’ve lost 5 games we should have won but Im not going to go jump off a cliff or start yelling for firings.
Relax.
Well I fully am aware that I am going to get thrown under the bus for this, but let’s just all blame Joe! Take the easy way out. Bottom line is tonight we had 2nd and 3rd baserunners giving up by Wang (which it was his first start of the year) then we walked Rocco great move and brought Luis in to pitch to Harris. Got him to line out! Then went to the lefty Myers who has been fairly good, yes he gave up the Slammer. Crawford had himself a night 4 for 4! Bottom line is he has lead this team in the last 12 years to 4 Championships and many division championships galore, more than I can count too. So give the guy a break. When he has to throw ROOKS out there every night that get rocked what do you want him to do… I would love for any one of you to ONE DAY.. JUST ONE DAY.. Sit in front of all the NY media and ext. and answer questions. Why did you do this? Why was your thinking behind that? Easy Huh? CHILL OUT! We are now in the cellar we will battle are way out. Quit trying to pin it on one person. Nobody on any blog was saying anything bad about Joe when we rattled off 3 W.S. Championships in a row. Yes I know that was 7 years ago now. Be lucky and happy to be a Yankee fan good times are a coming. DON’T JUMP YET, YOU MIGHT MISS A GREAT OCTOBER!
Lose the next 5, no way Joe survives it.
Joe can call all his buddies in the media to defend him but, this team being in last place in defensible.
I don’t care what month it is or how many games have been played. This is not a last place ballclub.
They have played putrid baseball for the entire season. Only a historic month from ARod, and a few miracle wins, has kept this from being worse.
What if ARod got off to a slow start? What do you think their record would be? If they are 8-11 now, is it safe to say they would be 4-15?
Sorry, I don’t buy the injury excuse. Losers whine about injuries. You play through them and get the job done.
Its a bad ballclub right now, and Joe has made it worse with some of the worst in game managing anyone has seen in years.
He isn’t a Federal Judge and being the manager of the New York Yankees is not a lifetime position.
Wang is back tonight and they still lost. So, there goes the theory, “Once Wang gets back, things will be better”.
If this team still wants Joe Torre to be their manager, i’d suggest some wins the rest of the week.
Too good a team to be this bad and, when that happens, the manager usually pays for it with his job.
Pete, I suggest you catch up on your sleep tonight. The next five days may very well decide Joe Torre’s fate as Yankee manager.
Even a semi-lucid George Steinbrenner isn’t going to put up with this much longer.
My gut tells me a new Yankee manager on Monday. I don’t see this team snapping out of this soon. Too many problems exist and the manager is responsible for at least half of them.
If they lose the next 5, or 4 of the next 5, and he survives it, he truly is Houdini.
Vizcaino didn’t “get him to line out” - he hit a screamer that happened to be right at a fielder. Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good.
Joe Torre hasn’t led this team to crap. *Stop giving him credit for winning* This has been the best collection of talent in baseball for years, how does Joe Torre get credit for 1998?
I’ve been saying bad things about Joe Torre for years. The Yankees win in spite of him. He ruined the careers of Paul Quantrill, Tom Gordon, Steve Karsay, and is working hard on Scott Proctor.
Lets all take a minute to forget about the mess the boys have been lately and enjoy this new quentin tarantino-esque Gatorade commercial starring Jete and Harvey Keitel
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aGUx5FW5fQ
Randy Johnson’s line tonight reminds me very much of his stint with the Yanks:
5.0 6 6 6 4 7 2
Lets be real here.
The careers of Quantrill, Karsay and Gordon werent exactly Hall of Fame careers there.
He hasnt burnt out Mo. He didnt damage Stanton. Or Nellie.
Dont knock Joe for crappy relief pitchers who didnt have much left. And even Gordon would look pretty good in the 7th now.
At this point I’d take 5 innings from a creaky Randy than Kei Igawa.
It’s obvious to everyone not blinded by Torre’s halo that he has never been able to manage a bullpen. Of course, when you have starters who go 7 innings, that deficiency isn’t exposed. Well, it most certainly is being exposed now. But why blame Joe when you can always blame Vizcaino/Proctor/Bruney. They should be able to pitch every day…if Joe thinks so, it must be so.
To blame Torre for the team’s slow start, or anything a major league baseball player does, is kneejerk and lazy. He does not play. He does not give up grand slams. He does not walk batters.
But he chooses which players are on the field at any given time, and his choices this season time and time again have been suboptimal.
so Pete when does Joe Girardi get the Yankee manager job, NL COACH OF THE YEAR currently employed by YES behind a booth. I’m tired of seeing Clueless Joe managing. I love him but he ’s not getting the job done.
Gee…that’s original Freddy…guess we don’t really need a manager then. Since he isn’t playing, we might as well just get rid of Joe. Sounds like a great idea.
“Wang is back tonight and they still lost. So, there goes the theory, “Once Wang gets back, things will be betterâ€?.
thanks for the mindblowing analysis.
Steve Karsay pitched 88.3 innings in 2002, which is more than an inning every 2 days. He then had surgery because of arm troubles (TJ surgery I believe).
Quantrill pitched *95* innings in 2004. Ninety-five! He was ineffective the next year and is now out of baseball.
He hasn’t burnt out Mo because Mo is a closer, not someone you bring in every day to protect leads or be middle relief. The Yankees win about 95 games a year, and a lot of them aren’t even save situations, or are walkoffs/extra innings. There aren’t even 80 chances to bring in Mo.
And by Freddy’s rule, Joe shouldn’t get any credit for any of the victories either.
Joe doesn’t play. He doesn’t hit grand slams. He doesn’t strike out batters…
this blog has been invaded by baby brats who cannot get their way
Yes, this is painful to go thru, but remember people:
On this day last year we were 9-8
On this day in 2005 we were 8-11
On this day in 2004 we were 8-10
Of course this doesn’t mean anything this year, but it does mean it isn’t time to abandon hope.
Relax. Breathe. It’s April 24th.
wow.
I’m tired of being positive about the direction of the team.
you guys win.
go Yanks.
go get Toronto tomorrow.
exactly, MK! Stop flip flopping from coach worshipping to coach firing depending on how the players are playing. Start realizing that the game is won and lost on the field. Vizcaino is not good. Myers is not good.
That’s a cliche. Under that theory, you never fire a manager since he “doesn’t play the game”.
He is in charge of in game situations, managing the ballclub, and getting it ready to start the season.
He has an F grade in all three of those areas to start the year.
If he bears no responsibility, then what exactly is his job and why is he being paid $7 million a year for it? I’d rather the money go to ARod or a pitcher if he bears “no responsibility for what happens on the field.
Sorry, he needs to be gone and gone now.
The best manager for THIS YANKEE TEAM is in the broadcast booth (Girardi) and the best pitching coach FOR THIS TEAM is in the bullpen (Kerrigan).
Make the change now, make the players realize this crap is unacceptable or just be happy seeing the horrible results every night.
Its not going to magically change. It hasn’t since Game 4 of 2004. Why is it going to change now?
If they don’t slug, they don’t win. If the game is close and low scoring from the 7th inning on, they don’t win.
We have seen it since Game 4 of 2004 and it hasn’t changed. Why does anybody think its going to change now?
It will only change by making the change that should have been made 3 years ago. Continue to avoid to the problem only leads to more problems.
The team needs a new voice and new direction. Hopefully, that happens over the next five days.
If not, its gonna be a LONG season.
Nobody is panicking. It annoys me when people say that crap. Just because I criticize this team’s flaws doesn’t mean it’s a panic.
This team will win a ton of games because it’s going to score >950 runs. Not because Joe will somehow right the ship.
And you know what? Eventually the magic runs out. You can’t keep pulling yourself out of a hole. A-Rod isn’t going to hit 120 HRs, we’re wasting his brilliant April. What happens then? Without him we would definitely be 2 losses worse, and probably more.
Leave it up to FreddySez. So Justin not to call you out but who did you want to bring in instead of Vizcanio, leave Wang in who was clearly getting banged around, or maybe you wanted Farnsy, hahaha funny on that one. Oh maybe Joe can just burn one down the plate himself. **** better yet get Don Zim out on the mound he could get them right, Justin??????? Tool, Go be a Red Sox fan they would love to have a loser like you! P.S. How doesn’t he get credit for 1998 we sweeped the Pad’s and broke a Regular Season Win Record, Sorry but you blame him when we lose you have to give him credit when we WIN!
Oh, I believe I said it did NOT like the the move of bringing Melky in in the previous blog-entry. But I’ll repeat myself nonetheless.
Though I don’t think Melky shouldn’t have any at-bats in close games. This comes from an assortment of reasons:
a) Melky simply isn’t the 6th worst hitter in baseball. I could name dozens of worse hitters. They just have had better April’s then Melky. Baseball is a sport of big sample-size. Deker Jeter isn’t the worst fielder in baseball and Melky isn’t the 6th worst hitter in the game.
b) If you want to give Melky 400 AB’s you he’s got to have some in close games. That could very well mean that over the course of the year that will costs us a few games (just like he will gain some with outfield assists). The other option would be to trade him, but that would leave us with a problem at OF next season and then we need to break to bank for Abreu or another FA outfielder.
This ofcourse assumes Melky will heat up over the season. If he doesn’t he might prove to be a one-year-wonder, but you can’t judge that on 60 or something AB’s.
Right, now I’m really off to bed, it’s almost light again…
SJ44…I think you are the only one taking these losses worse than I am. I know how you feel…it sucks to watch Torre fritter away games and realize that his persona pretty much shields him from accountability. Don’t get to worked up over the Torre defenders…it sure seems as if most of them aren’t following the team closely anyway. They don’t care as much as you, so it’s easy for them to dismiss how poorly Torre has managed the team. I think the fans who actual care about whether the team wins just need to hope the Yankees talent can once again overcome the manager’s poor judgement. Torre is going to learn to manage and Don Zimmer isn’t coming back, so we are stuck with him.
Torre is right this is where you earn your money and he definitely hasn’t been earning his. After the grand slam Torre should of just left Myers out there, but no ofcourse he panics and brings in Bruney. Ofcourse Vizcaino pitched after Torre saying 3 hours earlier that he definitely would not. The team got to this point because the bullpen is so worn out so what does he do he goes into the bullpen again to bring in Bruney. When is he ever going to just leave the pitcher out there, take one for the team and save everyone else for tomorrows game?? Maybe actually have people fresh for tomorrow. Henn should of pitched the 8th not Farnsworth because now he isn’t available for tomorrows game. In his post game he was more concerned with getting the water for his stupid tea then the team losing. The organization should check his tea and make sure there isn’t alcohol in there. I wouldnt be surprised.
What the Yankees need is a couple of consecutive rainouts. any rest the pen can get is welcomed…
No one rational is abandoning hope. That’s a total straw man.
What is frustrating, however, is seeing Torre make the same mistakes again & again game after game. I understand that the starting pitching has been a major issue, but he’s made matters worse consistently…and not just in starter/bullpen management but also in substitutions, pinch runners, lineup construction…
Bob,
A fine post that does show some perspective here. At least now Wang is back, Hughes is in the rotation on Thursday, and Moose will be back in another week.
And Cashman has Clemens on speed dial and will probably pay anything to get him.
It sucks the way they are playing, but I’m not going to wave the white flag.
We’re at 20 games and playing worse than anyone could have imagined at this point. Despite that, this team is still just 4 games out.
No worries here.
Freddy…go back to your Sox board.
“Im still convinced all the Negatives Nancy’s here are one guy.”
You cant possibly type THAT fast
Are you kidding me? Quantrill was an elite setup man literally for YEARS before he came to New York. He had a career ERA of 3.41 and that is counting his years as a failed starter before coming here. Once he converted to a full blown reliever his ERA was 2.83 prior to becoming a Yankee. Luckily, the Yankees aren’t feeling the effects of Tom Gordon being ruined by Torre. Philadelphia is. Last year he had shoulder issues and he was experiencing them again this spring. But the 89 and 80IP seasons he had under Torre (the most he had thrown since 1997) had zero to do with that right? You’re blind if you can’t see the damage Torre does to his relievers.
This isn’t anything new with Torre. He does this ALL THE TIME. He hasn’t won or lead the Yankees to ANYTHING since 2003 where he was bailed out by Mike Mussina and Grady Little.
Serenity Now
SJ$$: Can you describe for me how “a new voice” and “a new direction” will help Chase Wright throw a strike that does not end up on the Mass Pike? What will Girardi and Kerrigan tangibly do to improve the pitching of this team?
One of the stat-heads around here needs to pull up some of the reliever stats from Torre’s stints with the Mets, Braves and Cardinals. Then we can get a real feel for his history of burning out relievers. That may prove whether it’s a recent trend or a personal philosophy.
KT you moron, I don’t give him credit when we win. I don’t like Joe Torre and I never have. He didn’t sweep the Padres. Our insane pitching and machine like offense did.
Instead of Vizcaino? Bruney, who can strike people out. He was available, he pitched later! Or leave Wang in, yes. Wang’s stuff was fine, he wasn’t gassed. You obviously don’t know the difference between “giving up a few hits” and “needs to come out.” *We needed a ground ball and he took Chien-Ming Wang off of the mound.* How do you excuse that?
Especially when he has Vizcaino IBB the next batter? That’s as I said before, High School level coaching. You don’t do that.
Vizcaino has had 1 day rest in the past 5, and tonight was his *3rd consecutive appearance*.
Melky isn’t actually the 6th worst hitter in the sport, what I meant was that right now he is producing that poorly.
“KT you moron, I don’t give him credit when we win. I don’t like Joe Torre and I never have. He didn’t sweep the Padres. Our insane pitching and machine like offense did.”
This is insane. He’s never able to win with you. If he win a ring this year he’s not getting credit. Anything less and you are all over him.
Even A-Rod is treated better than this. Sure, he gets the boos when he doesn’t deliver, but at least he get some credit when he does.
I love how one single and double consitutes “clearly banged around”. Everything that came before gets wiped away because Upton hit a double in the gap. That’s pretty much how Torre seems to think so I can see why you are defending him.
This is the one and only thing that I hate about being a Yankee fan. April is always the end of the world as we know it. Then comes June and everyone is back with the positive posts, go check yourselves! We are a total 4 games back right now and have played like bleep! Guess everyone has forgotten about the 5 game sweep we put on those punks in Boston last year. We can come back from 4 games considering it is April and we are just now starting to get healthy. RELAX PUT THE GUN DOWN! Don’t be saying anything you might regret later. P.S. You are Yankee fans aren’t you. And if you are not I feel sorry for ya! #27 in ‘07
I do not judge Joe Torre based on how the team performs. I subscribe to a theory that a manager does not often win games, but he can easily lose them.
You’re blind if you don’t see what a collection of talent Torre has. He did nothing before he was with the Yankees.
http://www.baseball-reference.com/managers/torrejo01.shtml
I judge him on his in game moves (and not a sample size, I watch at least 150 games a season, if not all 162). And he is terrible.
SJ44: Cliche = yankees fans kneejerk criticisms & booing
“Melky isn’t actually the 6th worst hitter in the sport, what I meant was that right now he is producing that poorly.”
He isn’t producing poorly right now, he’s been producing poorly the last 20 games.
What he’s going to do right now isn’t incorporated in any stat.
KT for the second time, nobody is panicking. It’s not a panic when we criticize the team. It’s a complete straw man because you cannot counter anything we have to say except “HE HAS 4 RINGS” and “ITS APRIL.”
Please, I will *never* stop rooting for this team until the day that I die. I didnt stop rooting in 1991, and I didn’t stop rooting when we were 11-19 in 2005. But to ignore these glaring, reoccuring issues just because things turn out OK is not being able to see the forest for the trees - and it’s a dangerous way to run a baseball team.
I’m convinced that many of the posters here have never followed a a single baseball season in their entire lives.
Myers was brought here by Joe Torre , he lobbied for him and said he was the missing piece in the bullpen, w/o Alex Rodriguez the Yankees would have 4 or 5 wins , this doesn’t concern you Freddy ? The coach is burning out the bullpen in April , Moose isn’t a 8 inning pitcher, nor Clemens at 40 especially coming to a league with a DH substituting a pitcher’s spot in 4 - 5 ABS if he gets here, we know he won’t let Hughes pitch over 6 , Rasner , Pavano has seen more accidents than a blind man driving a car, so lets go over this
Clemens not a 8 IP in the AL
Moose not a 7 IP
Rasner not a 6 IP
Wright was sent back
Karstens not a 7 IP
meaning your bullpen is going to be worked this season, Torre is in his final year, and is starting to burn guys out, the lineup was given to him by Cashman, he’s losing w/ this lineup and the bullpen is getting murdered day after day, night after night.
Wake up the Joe Torre Era has been over for awhile the only reason he’s still here is because people want to remember what he brought and are afraid of change. He hasn’t been the best manager in the league since 2000.
2001 pulled in field vs Mo
2002 LAA butt whippin’
2003 the Weaver move
2004 the collapse
2005 the LAA upset
2006 the DET upset
2007 what’s next do you really expect a WS appearance w/ Joe Torre, he’s had the carpet ride but this game is passing him by.
it is very simple..time for joe to go
Well Justin what I purpose is that you quit watching then. You are right, I guess Joe Torre is the worst manager ever, (who will have his number retired in Yankee Glore)! Go watch the the Cubs. Later Buddy!
well, Andy is going tomorrow. Hopefully he continues to dominate and will actually be allowed to finish the 7th (he should have on Friday.) If the Yankees can manage to have a lead by then, Henn should be fresh for the 8th and Mo in the 9th….then if they win, finally a regular pitching performance throughout the game. After that, if Hughes can come up Thursday and have a solid debut, it would help out greatly. I don’t even feel like thinking about Boston coming in this weekend. The only hope i have for that is that they were able to rattle 6 runs off Prince Daisuke the other night. So Wakefield and Tavarez (those are the two slated for sat and sun, right?) shouldn’t be all that bad. Who knows guys, it’s the Yankees. The last few days SUCKED, but if any team can rally back in a jiffy, it’s the Bronx Bombers.
>
Past results indicate future results, to a degree. Not at bat by at bat. I can’t say he will not get a hit today because he is cold, but I can say over the long haul he isn’t producing.
If you look at his numbers last season, he was a decent hitter who had two above average months. I think he is a decent hitter, very close to average. But his plate approach isn’t so hot this season, he’s not hitting for power, and his swing is extremely long. A 1 run game against the Rays after you’ve lost 4 straight isn’t where I would insert him, honestly.
If this is when Torre is going to earn his money, can the team get a refund on the first 19 games??
Well…it’s time for bed…I sure hope Jose Vizcaino sleeps well on the plane ride home. I’d hate for him to be too tired tomorrow and miss his daily appearance.
Hey Pete…I have a good idea for the blog…we should have a contest to see which reliever’s arm will fall off first. I am going with Vizcaino by mid-May (sorry Proctor). The only rule is you can’t pick Pavano.
Joe Torre been doing a hell of a job getting us to the playoffs. I don’t understand why a five game losing streak is blowing you up Justin. You look at the other teams that hasn’t reach the playoffs for over 10 years. Aren’t we just previleged fans?^^
Freddy Torre asked for Myers Micheal Kay said that on ESPN numerous times , the only reason Myers is here is because Torre asked for him.
For the *Nth* time. I do not believe Joe Torre has gotten this team to the playoffs. The sheer amount of talent and generosity of George Steinbrenner has gotten us there.
Please find me an example where Torre did anything good to get us to the playoffs, besides burning through bullpen arms.
Again, this is 10 years of Joe dislike spilling out here. Not a 5 game losing streak.
By the way any strategy I purposed to you would just get shot down by TORRE SUCKS nonsense anyways. Don’t worry I know more Yankee baseball / baseball in general than you will ever know. I am happy that I have seen 4 W.S. championships in a row and look forward to another one this year. So after you get done tonight throwing the Yanks under the bus and being the upmost pessimistic, you can hide under you sheets with embarASSment when we take the W.S. this year! P.S. I hope you are back on this same blog in October to defend your critizim of Joe and everything else with an NY on it.
yeah KT! You are as tough as Elijah Dukes!
William how about you give anyother coach in the MLB
Alex Rodriguez
Derek Jeter
Johnny Damon
Robi Cano
Jorge Posada
Jason Giambi
Hideki Matsui
Mariano Rivera
Mussina
Pettitte
etc….
how many managers struggle to make the playoffs with that nucleuse ?
Justin,
Let’s try to keep in mind that Wang was on a 80-pitch count cap and he threw 81 pitches. Perhaps that’s why he came out.
Also, this is essentially Spring Training for Wang and he just missed a month with the hammy trouble.
You don’t risk the health of your ace like that and Hughes will get similar treatment on Thursday.
Jeez, you can’t expect the guy to throw 100-110 pitches and throw a complete game shutout when he hasn’t pitched in over a month.
Justin you are unbeliveable you might call me a moron but I would hate to be around anyone as pessimistic as you. Have fun hating!!!! Laterz, man! Ever seen that movie “Angry Management” Sandler is in it and supposedly???? like you he is a Yankee Fan!
You can’t even read at a high school level, since you continue to miss the point that I am not throwing this team under the bus. I do not like the way Joe Torre is managing it. That is all.
Again, if this team wins that does not prove that Joe Torre is a good manager. You obviously don’t know as much about baseball as you think. You haven’t actually made an articulate point except to call me a pessimist (I’m not), or say I’m not a *True Yankee Fan (TM)* (I am), etc. Please, anoint this blog with the great baseball wisdom that is KT.
I bet you love David Eckstein.
Some of you guys need to find someone to give you a hug, for frick’s sake.
Will,
Understand, as a man, I think Joe Torre is a great man. Not a good man, a great man. The work he does for charity and the way he carries himself is terrific.
As a manager, he has declined bigtime in the last 3 years. Even his staunchest supporters are left to fall on the cliche, “the manager doesn’t play the games”. That’s how much he has declined on the bench.
I’m sorry, this is not a last place team. I don’t care who is hurt, what month it is, their play since Day One has not been good. It just hasn’t. Spotty, uninterested. They just aren’t playing crisp baseball and its been three weeks now. Its not just five games.
The early excuse was the weather. Then, its injuries. Now, what is it?
Sorry, I am not buying it.
Tonight, the Myers move was just baseball. I am not hangin’ Joe on that move. That happens. I will say though, just leave him in after the HR. You don’t need to burn ANOTHER pitcher again. Especially one you used for two innings the night before. That’s what I mean when I talk about his moves. They just defy logic at times.
Bringing in Vizcaino? Dumb. If you want a DP, leave Wang in there. He’s the best DP pitcher in the league One or four more pitches isn’t changing anything. Vizcaino, even when he is good, is not a DP pitcher.
Tonight’s mindblowing move for me was the defensive switches in the 7th. He just doesn’t learn from past substitution mistakes (see Friday night in Boston).
That’s what is so frustrating.
I’d love to see him get it together. However, something tells me the next five days are gonna be ugly and his fate will be sealed.
I don’t see him bringing this team through this stretch.
They really haven’t played well all year, sans some ARod heroics. Its in last place and another 4 or 5 losses here and I don’t see how he keeps his job.
You can’t just say, “same thing happened in 2005″ to justify what we are seeing. Just not acceptable.
At some point, Aaron Small isn’t coming along to go 10-0, Mariano isn’t always going to be lights out and ARod is not going to hit 100 home runs this year.
Right now, they are the only team in the majors without a save this yr. Amazing.
You have to go out play consistent, fundamental baseball, and let the chips fall where they may. They haven’t done it all year. At some point, when does the manager bear responsibility for that?
Just not acceptable, IMO.
Anaconda, a good point. I think he could have gotten one more batter out, but even if you take him out, the 4 appearances in 5 days, shaky control, Jose Vizcaino is probably the wrong move.
And again with the IBB from the reliever with shaky control, etc.
Man I blew it, I posted this on the godamn “A-Rod is staying” post… thing was dead 2 hours ago lol. But this is what I had in mind:
Does anyone think it’s funny how everyone (ESPN) thinks that the Red Sox have a shot at Clemens…? Would that not make their payroll higher than us? Would that not mean that they are the “Evil Empire�? The Red Sox will not be getting Clemens, but godamnit we are gonna have a 200 million dollar payroll when we get do.
Brandon I would like to give you a try for example with that lineup. The 10 Yankee games combined on the road and at home that I have personnaly seen this year he has mic after mic on him. Good luck with that BRANDON! You would crumble like a funny man. Guess what dude you can only send them out there like Joe. Tell me what magic you would be bringing to the club right now. Bottom line “Joe doesn’t Hit or Pitch!”
I think Pete as the pitch count notion wrong…Torre told Sterling on the pre game that there was no pitch count.
KT…if you really knew Yankees baseball, you’d be aware that the team hasn’t won 4 in a row under Torre. They lost in 2001, but maybe a “big” Yankee fan like you missed that season?
It’s amazing how there seems to be two camps…die hard fans frustrated by Torre’s horrible managing and casual fans who turn a blind eye and “stay positive” because they don’t really seem to care if the team wins or not.
If Joe doesn’t hit or pitch, how can you give him credit for winning 4 rings. Your dumb cliche actually supports *my* point.
Thank you
Listen, if this continues into June, then I too will deduce that it is time for a change, but until then I have to say that Torre gets a pass. In my humble opinion, he has earned it.
He is not the most brilliant strategist. That can be seen in so many examples of big game mismanagement like Game 6 in the 2004 ALCS, with noone bunting on Schilling. Or in last year’s ALDS when he panicked and submitted his lineup card in Game 4.
Same thing holds this year. Yes, the Yankees could have won all five and probably deserved to win three.
Right now, the W-L columns line up consistently with other years. I don’t think this is a championship calibre team, not with the pitching as thin as it is, even when we do have our starters back. But I think it could drastically imporve to championship calibre in the next two years as more of the youngters come up. For me this is a develpment year.
You can definitely argue that Torre should be let go and another manager will do better. Sure, it’s valid. But I think we will miss him dearly when he is gone. Nobody in the years I have watched the team has been as good at balancing egos, press, in game emotions, etc. than he. Perhaps these are the managerial equivalents of “intangibles” but until I hear players on the team (not Sheffield, not Raul Mondesi, not Juan Acevedo) complaining about him, I’ll not believe that he’s lost his players.
Don’t forget, the Red Sox declined last year in August, with serious health problems plaguing a starter and injuries to many other key players. Should Francona have been fired? I don’t think so.
I’ll close with some thoughts on the Yankees’championship runs in 1996 and 1998-2000. Yes, Buck and Stick were the architects of those teams. But it takes more than just the talent of the players to string together the amazing consistency they showed year in and year out in the postseason. I am not saying Joe had everything to do it, but I don’t know that Buck or anyone else could have won three in a row or four out of five. So, there’s something there, and before you decide to kill Joe’s Yankee career for a losing record and last place on April 24th, you might want to consider some of these factors.
Like I said, if we’re in the same position in June, I might agree with a change. But not now.
justin…i agree torre does not deserve SOLE credit for the wins OR the losses…..the players do, bro! Myers hung the slider that ended up to be a grand slam. Joe was picking his nose as he threw the pitch.
Justin, Honestly, Torre isn’t going anywhere for this season at least. Point #1. Point #2 it is a very tough time right now, no matter what the guy does it doesn’t seem to work and he has tried every avenue. Point #3 After we get a string of wins (which moronic of me I think we might) everything will look better. Hopefully all of this gets me at a High School Level!. Thanks Justin for being so classy. Have a good night, Geeze I am glad the rest of Yankee nation isn’t a little Biotch like You!!!!!!!!!
Myers was the correct baseball move. I probably would make that call 9/10 times. Stuff happens - sometimes matchups don’t work. Myers hadn’t exactly dominated Crawford, but he has handled him pretty well. I don’t knock that move at all.
It was just everything leading up to that move, the substitutions, and burning another pitcher after Myers.
“At some point, Aaron Small isn’t coming along to go 10-0, Mariano isn’t always going to be lights out and ARod is not going to hit 100 home runs this year.”
No, not Aaron Small, you’re right about that one. I was thinking more of a somewhat more dominant pitcher. Can’t quite remember his name anymore. Uhm… he’s quite indecisive, he’s so old he could be my dad, I think he pitched for the Yankees before, great buddie of some guy named Pettitte. Oh… and he doesn’t like to pack up for road-trips.
This is some of the worst managing I’ve seen from Torre.
The Yankees will break out of their slump but he really has to put more trust in Phelps and his starters.
Also Luis Vizcaino is on pace to pitch 102 innings. Last season he pitched 65.1
The Red Sox are still int the hunt for Clemens.
He’s not even going to pitch for another two months so who knows what can happen between now and then?
Two months isn’t a long time when you consider that the Yanks had 4 Yankee pitchers (Wang, Moose, Pavano, and Karstens) all come up lame in a span of 2 weeks and spend time on the DL.
I think the Yanks have the edge for Rocket, but the Red Sox aren’t out of it by a long shot.
Clemens really likes the Benjamins too, so his agents are going to play both Cashman and Theo in order to get a major bidding war going for as much cabbage as he can.
“If Joe doesn’t hit or pitch, how can you give him credit for winning 4 rings. Your dumb cliche actually supports my point.
Thank you
”
How is it then that you can blame him for a loss? For making a move that doesn’t work out?
I give him credit for wins when he makes good moves and I blame him for bad moves.
DISCLAIMER: A good/bad move isn’t always the move that wins/loses a game/match-up/whatever. You can have bad moves and get away with it and you can make good moves that backfire.
oh… and he hasn’t gained a lot of credit with me recently
John my bad you are correct one in 96 and then a 98 through 00. My bad just got caught up in posting. Still a big Yankee fan, everyone miss steps even Pete does once in awhile.
he doesn’t stategize either KT, why are you putting me on the spot we’re talking about a baseball coach , I’ve played baseball tournaments overseas , can’t do it no more , but if you think Torre is doing a good job or utilizing his arms the right way, explain this to me an example, not too long ago I think Igawa had a 7 R lead and was pulled for the bullpen. Rasner had surrendered 1 R and was pulled in the 5th , Pettitte could have gone 8 IP in one game and was brought in to relief pitch in Fenway ? his arm is hanging by a thread how doe that make sense, how about 3 R lead reguardless if you have Mo pitching how are the corners not guarding the lines ? Mo is a pitcher that gives up bloop hits the infield pulled in for Rivera ? does that make sense, he managed desperate in Fenway
How is Chase left to pitch to the captain of the Redsoxs when he surrendered 3 straight vs Manny,JD Drew then Lowell ? He’s been sleeping at the wheel ,the evidence is right infront of you , he’s doing a bad job, I don’t hate him infact it’s just the opposite but Joe got to go. I bet even Pete is reading some of this like damn they hit the nail straight on this one.
If you make the right move and it backfires, nobody should say anything. Just like nobody here is criticizing for bringing in Myers - that was the right move.
But the substitutions, then having those spots in the batting order fail in the 9th, are a bad move that didn’t work out - and those get you nailed.
Most people also note bad moves that do work out (Vizcaino gives up a *screaming* line drive, it happens to be right at a fielder) as well. Does anyone honestly believe that Vizcaino was effective just because he got an out? It’s often better to be lucky than good, at least in baseball.
Justin, you said you don’t give him credit.

�
but by your last post I assume you DO give you Torre credit sometimes. Like this night for bringing in Myers
Bottom line is we have mass panic in Yankee nation from what I can tell. Its going to be fine and if its not, guess what come June when the Yanks are down 7 or 8 by June (which we won’t be) you all still got 4 months of negative blogging. June, July, August, and September. Hey you guys can even talk negative talk in October when we will be out of it of course. Same people talking what do you haters call it Fact???? will be singing the praises of W.S. #27. Don’t worry I won’t call any of you out. You know no better than to be negative. I forgive You!! Go Yanks!
Well, I don’t knock him for the failure is more like it. Had that worked, it’s the move almost every manager would make - it’s nothing special, he gets credit for making the right move, yes, but he didn’t “win the game.” So speak.
The times a manager gets credit are when he shows he knows what’s going down, and executes a brilliant squeeze play when the defense is napping, for example. Or when he positions the fielders in an unorthodox way, has the pitcher/catcher execute a distinct pitching pattern, and gets the intended result. Things like that are “gaining credit.” Executing a proper steal that increases your teams chance of scoring a run when it counts, etc.
I understand the way I think about baseball is very statistically minded and borderline completely Stat/SABR head, and that doesn’t sit well with some people.
KT everyother year I would agree w/ you but what has changed from last season to this season that has made the NY Yankees better than everyone in the AL ?
what addition other than Pettitte has improved this team, start looking around the you the competition in the AL is starting to catch up.
I could only get thru the first few posts. One said why was Wang on a pitch count he hurt his leg not arm, Justin sorry but you are a moron..
You ever hear of a term called arm strength. This was his 1st outing of the year… Justin where were you a pitching coach?
Really people post with no clue.. Everytime someone in this case myers does not do there job it is because of Torre’s decisions.. Myers has pitched 8 total innings in 3 weeks… That is too much compared to his ridiculous few innings pitched last year but under any other measurment it is not and to have him to come in to get 1 lefty out is not too much to ask.
They lost, they are 3 games under 500 and the world nor there season is over…they again are 2- 9 in games deciding by 2 or less runs.. Managers are very smart when starters go 7 innings and give up 3 or less runs when they do not managers are not quite as smart. Really how many bad things can happen. ANyone on this site want to bet me that the Yanks will win at least 90 games????
If there starting pitching injuries for the year are not to crazy they will be a very very good team and will score minimum 900 runs but probably 950 + runs…
Brandon, Could Torre have used his bullpen better, well you know what probably. But as it stands nobody has really been able to get the job done, so no matter what the dude does it is wrong. I mean come on for example tomorrow if Andy gets in trouble who do you want out there. Bottom line is if some of these guys would be getting it done I would not be typing this. A huge Black Cloud is over the Bombers right now and “this shall pass” keep the faith with me man. Doesn’t to anyone any good for anyone to be hating and pessimistic. Last time I checked you or anyone else hating on there favorite team hasn’t helped any.
Justin looking at #’s after 3 weeks shows what a friggin moron you are… Do you think Paul Konerko will hit 205? How about arod 385?
To look at any stats at this point and caluclate them for the year shows how stupid people are… IS Ian Kinsler a good young play going to hit 40 HR’s?
The answer is no…………………..
KT no one is hating it’s just calling it how we see it , Torre signed a 1 yr. contract, he’s not guaranteed next year, I mean what the hell is he going to manage for the next 5 years , I really doubt that and if so get the Bengay and the ethel spray for joint pain ready because arms will fall off. Girardi is here he was a COACH OF THE YEAR too a mediocore talent Marlins team from the gutter and got them to a playoff race, I mean again Torre is not the best manager this myth needs to stop already.
Amid all this bad news and Torre-hating, there is good news. Wang pitched pretty well, and his line would have been better if there wasn’t a bad call at first base that led to Tampa runs, or if Myers was able to do his job as a lefty-specialist. He was able to pitch into the 7th with 80 pitches. This is just what the Yanks need, a pitcher who can get outs efficiently and pitch many innings to save the bullpen.
Stuart I COMPLETELY AGREE, I will match any amount of money these tools want to bet that the Yanks will indeed win over 90 Games. I will take the 90 +! Everyone freaking out and throwing everyone under the bus after 19 games. With a ton of injuries. Now we will start to get healthy and after today have 143 left, OH bleep only 143 left with 4 down. Yup Justin in company its over!!!. Ha all bets are welcome. Thanks Stuart for putting some perspective on this.
I meant to say Girardi is here he was a COACH OF THE YEAR took a mediocore talented Marlins team from the gutter and got them to a playoff race, I mean again Torre is not the best manager this myth needs to stop already.
I’m sorry but you aren’t capable of an adult discussion on this subject. KT and Stuart, you seriously are not reading what I write. I’m not insulting you, but it’s obvious.
*Nobody here is saying the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball will not win 90+ games. If you asked me to make a bet right now, I would pin us on 92-94 wins.*
*Nobody is saying bringing in Mike Myers was the wrong move.*
Sheesh. You aren’t looking at this logically, you’re just going into a *rage* about how we aren’t true Yankee fans and are “haters.” I’m not even sure what I’m “hating” on. I’m not freaking out about anything, just making points (backed up points, unlike yours) on why I think Joe Torre is mismanaging this team.
I’m not a pitching coach, but before the game we were told there was no pitch count. Then suddenly there is, but the only source is Pete here. It sounds like backtracking, or they misspoke in the pregame.
“On this day last year we were 9-8
On this day in 2005 we were 8-11
On this day in 2004 we were 8-10″
Final Results:
2006: Lost in ALDS
2005: Lost in ALDS
2004: I still can’t even say it.
Since you obviously want to win #27, getting off to a rocky start didn’t really get us anywhere in the past did it?
I keep checking the blog to see if Pete updates with Torre’s dismissal or some ridiculous trade.
I WANT JUSTIN TO BECOME THE NEXT NEW YORK YANKEE MANAGER!!!!!!!!!!!!. YES, JUST LIKE MILLER HUGGINS, JOE McCARTHY, BUCKY HARRIS, CASEY STENGEL, RALPH HOUK, BILLY MARITN, AND UH OH JOE TORRE, NO BLANK TORRE WON 4 OUT OF THE 26. P.S. I AM SURE THAT ALL THOSE OTHER MANAGERS DIDNT HAVE GOOD PLAYERS LIKE: RUTH, GEHRIG, MANTLE, FORD, NETTLES, GAMBLE, ON AND ON. JUSTIN JUSTIN. I really want to see you dawn the pinstripes dude, then I can start degrading you, because after all you will be the Yankee manager and everything you do will be better than Torre.. GO JUSTIN GO, Good luck winning 4 W.S. Dude. PEACE Enjoy the ride man, and when we win # 27 you will know who told you so.
Holy toldeo, I am honored by this, and dutifully accept the position.
Now, where can I get some green tea?
Justin just promise me one thing when the Yanks win it all this year don’t smile like a poser. Just be a what do you call it something that starts with M ends with an N. Geeze we are back 4 games in April fire Torre he sucks, fire you from blogging you SUCK!
Actually my last blog post was called “Don’t Panic!”
Some actual cool news:
“I’m going to go up there and pitch to the best of my ability,� Hughes told reporters in Scranton on Tuesday. “And, no, I don’t have any intention of coming back.�
Justin pin us at 92 to 94 wins then what is the problem that should get us in the postseason, as the AL central will beat themselves up. If not the division. Don’t carry your problems at home to this blog and Yankee baseball. HAHA
There is no problem. You seriously made it up in your head that I have a problem with this team, other than the way Joe Torre manages. This is an exceptional pool of talent.
I’m not sure what my home life has anything to do with it, but my pet cat has been somewhat sick this past week. I suppose that could have something to do with it.
Torre has managed bad so when we start winning will he be managing good. Considering we have the same players now as then not mentioning any of the former W.S. Championship teams. I mean Honestly we have lost 5 in a row so when and we will rattle are way back to first place Torre must get the credit.. Just cant go one way DUDE!
Yes, whatever, fine. Torre will get credit when he earns it. Make the right moves, don’t ruin the bullpen, I’ll give him some credit.
But not just for winning. He doesn’t get all of the blame for losing either, don’t get me wrong.
Hate to day this….but, it is better we lose next two games and Joe will be history for the good of the team. He has outlived his usefulness as the Yankee manager. Yes, he won four W.S. When was it? In the last century. We need new blood in this new century.
My $0.02
Let me preface these comments by stating that if I were The Big Stein, Giardi would have been our manager since October.
That said:
1) Wang was gassed. He was leaving his pitches up and had little chance of inducing a ground ball. His sinker was no longer sinking. He had only thrown 81 pitches, but it was his first start of the season. Pulling Wang was the right move.
2) Myers is not burned out. The only guys in the pen that aren’t burned out are Myers and Mo. Myers is our lefty specialist. He was the right pitcher to come in to face a lefty with the bases loaded and the game on the line. He left a pitch right over the middle of the plate and it was jacked. He made a mistake and did not do his job.
Torre makes some questionable moves at times and overuses his bullpen, but tonight his pitching decisions were sound. MYERS BLEW THE GAME, NOT TORRE.
Some thoughts:
Perhaps the league figured out something about Melkey, it is a game of adjustments…to early to tell.
Mientkiwicz sucks; his glove does not make up for lack of production, we could have kept Carlos Pena or Travis Lee…keep Phelps in there.
Many of you touched on all the reasons Torre is a poor manager so I won’t rehash…but he needs to be fired now!
The one batter lefty specialist is over-rated. Bill James wrote a compelling essay on why this is so. In short it wastes a roster spot that can be used for a full time reliever.
The Yankees have become boring and play without passion.
Carl Pavano…They shoot horses, don’t they???
Who actually scouted Kei Igawa?
I am worried that Phil Hughes is not ready yet.
I do not think Roger Clemens is the answer to this season’s woes.
As for Hughes ‘not being ready’ — Steven Goldman puts it succinctly over at his Yankee blog. The only thing Hughes can get out of another year in the minors is the opportunity to get injured. There’s simply nothing left for him to learn there. In any other organization, Hughes would be starting his second year in the bigs.
But the Yankees, so unaccustomed to pitching prospects of any kind, don’t really know how to handle this one.
Panic? Nope. Like Cano’s promotion, this is one time when events conspire to make them do the right thing.
I have a hell of a lot more faith in Bruney and Henn entering a ballgame in the 7th and 8th inning than I do in the “veteran” relievers.
I feel very badly for Chein-Ming Wang, who had me believing we were on our way to curing our pitching ills.
I’d say there’s no need to panic, but when you’ve got too many guys throwing meatballs over the plate, and guys like Viscaino getting lit up every night, something needs to change somewhere.
I’m happy to see Hughes get a shot. It’s nice to see a starter who’ll throw some heat out there.
