Up until Friday night, was in a rare slump. He hadn’t picked up a win in nearly a month, since August 24th, which is unacceptable at this point in the year. Considering the two DL stints, some members of the media questioned his health, and I think the legitimacy of [...]
I always look forward to doubleheaders. As a fan, double baseball means double fun, but you also get to examine a different type of managing. The Yankees won both games yesterday, came up big with an incredible 7 for 8 day, and best of all, returned from [...]
I’m not sure what to think of . There are times when he’s absolutely dreadful, and then there are times when he’s the most dominant pitcher in the rotation. And that’s no exaggeration when you consider the 3.18 ERA he put up in the second half of last year, and the 1.26 [...]
I cringe when opposing managers bring in their lefty relievers in big spots. For one, a lot of the Yankee left handed batters appear to be slumping against same side pitchers lately. When it comes to guys like though, you can always forecast Joe Girardi going to his bench. Ever since [...]
It’s hard to believe that returned to this team over a month ago. When he came up on August 1st, things didn’t go too well. He surrendered a homerun immediately to JJ Hardy. In fact, the whole month of August didn’t bode well for the reliever, but through a key mechanical [...]
Following the game on Saturday, Joel Sherman wanted to know the answer to this question so badly that he forgot his manners. You can watch the exchange here. The series of questioning, and what I thought was personally an inappropriate tone from Sherman, resulted in a heated confrontation in Girardi’s office later that [...]

By Michael Eder On September 7, 2012 · 12 Comments · In Organizational Philosophies, PitchFX, Player Analysis
sucks lately. I don’t believe I’ve ever described a player that way before, at least in writing. Especially a Yankee player. When it boils down to it, the centerfielder was supposed to carry this team. After all, the Grandyman can. Yet since June 1st, he’s hit just .214/.300/.430. Matt I. broke [...]
Hughes Is Burntout
By Michael Eder On September 5, 2012 · 2 Comments · In Organizational Philosophies, PitchFX, Player Analysis
With a 161.2 IP this year, Hughes is on the brink of surpassing twice the innings he threw last season. A little less than two weeks ago, I wrote about how Hughes’ velocity trends. Examining his longterm PITCHf/x numbers this season, he’s shown a constant loss of spin rotation and velocity on his fastball.
How To Pitch Against Yankee Lefties
By Michael Eder On September 4, 2012 · 1 Comment · In Organizational Philosophies, PitchFX, Player Analysis
The Yankee lineup is a dangerous offense for a right handed pitcher in the small dimensions of Yankee Stadium, at least it used to be. batting coach Kevin Long trains his lefties to hit balls thrown on the inside part of the plate. The net drill, as he calls [...]
It wasn’t long ago that called himself a tinker, but if this is a competition, Tinker of the Year goes to . First he lost his cutter, then he added an 11-5 curveball, and then he dropped his arm slot. All these changes have amounted to a Phil [...]
