(and don't try to tell me that he wasn't overhyped, gyro-ball and all)<BR/><BR/>Joba has better stuff than Dice-K but it's a question of his stamina as it is in everything else when going from the minors to the majors (and Dice-K was and is no exception no matter how famous he is with those pitch counts). You just never know how a body will react when you put on the added strain of pitching 30 to 60 more innings throughout a season.<BR/><BR/>It's sometimes a crap-shoot, but the odds are better-than-average with Joba. <BR/><BR/>He hasn't been facing weak rivals. <BR/><BR/>He's set-down the middle orders of everyone including the Tigers, Angels and Sox without ANY trouble. That's a pretty convincing indicator.Terrekainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03821435901500091375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-23972843096177709082007-08-30T13:26:00.000-07:002007-08-30T13:26:00.000-07:00well, im going back into the outside world.see you...well, im going back into the outside world.<BR/>see you tomorrow and hope to get a win.nixon33https://www.blogger.com/profile/03283528172781996570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-36003350499224116412007-08-30T13:25:00.000-07:002007-08-30T13:25:00.000-07:00im sure glad that our pitching staff's AL leading ...im sure glad that our pitching staff's AL leading ERA helped us score some runs today.nixon33https://www.blogger.com/profile/03283528172781996570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-82229515799095099282007-08-30T13:23:00.000-07:002007-08-30T13:23:00.000-07:00I-girl: I wouldn't say that the Yankees are "starv...<I>I-girl: I wouldn't say that the Yankees are "starved" for pitching</I><BR/><BR/>I would.<BR/><BR/>Also, I'd rather not talk with you.

Earlier in the year, you could make that case, but not now.<BR/><BR/>Besides, saying that the Yankees need pitching is like saying the Sox need hitting. It's an "I want it all" mentality that doesn't factor in real-world constraints and the incumbent trade-offs that necessarily follow.<BR/><BR/>Boston has bet the farm on great pitching and better-than-average hitting. Not great hitting ala the Yankees, but you make do.<BR/><BR/>New York has bet it's farm on great hitting and better-than-average pitching. Yes, the Yankees have very good pitching, as this series attests. Most of their losses came early in the year when their rotation was in a shambles with injuries which is not the case nowTerrekainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03821435901500091375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-3874441153070169022007-08-30T13:18:00.002-07:002007-08-30T13:18:00.002-07:00bah. i'm pissed.tomorrow is another day tho (thx s...bah. i'm pissed.<BR/>tomorrow is another day tho (thx scarlett)thatdietcokegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04657659934096745186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-28051435622633007202007-08-30T13:18:00.001-07:002007-08-30T13:18:00.001-07:00Yeah, but we don't make a fuss over Pap and say, "...Yeah, but we don't make a fuss over Pap and say, "Man, he's really good because of this and this and this, while Rivera's really not nearly as good as he is."
