I'm not enamored with signing Clemens. Honestly, he looked like an old man in the play offs for Houston. He had trouble just getting over to cover firstbase. I could see him turning into another train wreck, too.

As young as Hughes is, he can NOT be any worse than this.

That would be sweet.
Especially when he gets picked up by another team and turns it around on the Yankee's dime.
Perhaps he should be moved to the bullpen? LOOGY?
Wow...can't put away Alex Gonzalez.....

well if you'd rather wait for randy johnson to work out his problems or for wang and chacon to become consistently quality outing type of guys thats fine. but dont count on having a chance to make the playoffs.
the yankees best shot of making the playoffs is either trade some good prospects for a good starter or sign clemens. i'd rather sign clemens than give up hughes or duncan.
btw, boston is better than ny right now and the only way ny makes the playoffs is if we become better than boston because the wildcard will be in the central this year. the tigers are the real deal and the white sox are right there with them
Well, in that case, the Yanks better not fall 10 games behind Detroit by the All Star Break. They are already 5 1/2 back now. If you get to a situation where you are 10 back for the WC with 80 games left and Detroit has good pitching that is getting better, it will be tough to win the WC. The best chance will be to win the AL East.

I kinda wish RJ was hurt....would either explain why he sucks, or a reason to get him off the mound........"He S#cks," is right out of the manual on how not to express yourself here.

I would definitely sign Clemens if Randy retires. We would have 3 old men on our staff otherwise, I don't know if that's the best idea.

As young as Hughes is, he can NOT be any worse than this.
Nothing like stunting the development of a true jewel....
No, guys like Rasner are much better options- he's already been decent in the majors.
RJ's not losing his rotation spot, people. Unless it is an injury, or an "injury" ;)
But I suspect he keeps running out there....Yanks don't have much choice. If he is going to stink like this, they need to upgrade the rotation in order to even make the playoffs, let alone advance. And they need to find out for sure...

Hughes isnt ready. I saw him pitch in New Britain on Monday and he didnt pitch extremely well. He showed some good stuff, but when the ump screwed him he had trouble over coming it. His fastball topped out at 93...but that was once in a while, not consistently. I saw Shef and him on Monday.......
Cant rush Hughes. We could destroy his confidence like we did Drew Henson and what we are currently doing to Eric Duncan. Duncan should have started in AA this year....our impatience is a problem.

Just because he's the supposed #5 starter doesn't mean he's not gonna pitch big games. Isn't Wright our "#5" right now?
I am sure he will still pitch big games, but perhaps the blow to his ego will somehow work some majic and make him better.
Because if its not mental, then hes just plain done and then we have a bigger problem.

I don't think he should ever swing.
I can look at the calendar and know what happened to RJ's stuff. But...what happened to Clement's? He used to throw BB's- mid 90's moving fastball. Doesn't even sniff that anymore.

I know alot of people will naturally disagree but I have never bought the fact that young pitchers are destroyed by being brought up too early. I'm not saying it has no effect, I am simply saying that I don't believe it will have that much of an effect on a guy like Hughes considering his mindset and personality.
I probably would not do it, however, simply because I would not want to take that chance.

Dioner Navarro should be comming off the DL for the dodgers soon (wrist). While gone, Russel Martin pretty much took his job. The dodgers have Sandy Alomar jr., and may not want to carry three catchers. Dioner was doing a pretty good job when he got hurt (except for throwing out runners). It would certainly be worth a phone call on Cashman's part.

I'm not wishing he is hurt....just hoping there is an explaination why he hasnt done well since he left the KC game early....I think something happened there and no one is talking about it. 5 IP and 70 something pitches and he comes out? He looked great the first few starts and then after KC is horrible. It cant be just a coincidence.

Well I think at this point it's very evident something is wrong. If it's an injury then it's up to RJ to say something. If it's mechanical what the heck are Guidry and Kerrigan doing to earn their pay? If RJ is being stubborn and doesn't want to listen to him, send him to the pen and leave him there until he does. We can't just keep sending him out there when we need 8 runs just to stay in it.

OK - to me that's the difference. RJ showed he still has it, THIS season.
Also, I have nothing to back this up, but I just don't believe a pitcher the caliper of RJ just goes from Ace to Bum. I think an Ace can look like a bum sometimes, but you just don't fall off that severely for good. For the record, I don't consider Cone in the same class as RJ as a pitcher (career-wise).

Yeah, but the 2000 season came out of nowhere. He had the perfect game in July 99, had a solid rest of the year. Pitched fine in the playoffs, I believe pitched 6 shutout innings in Game 2 of the WS.

Well, he was 4-14 for the season with an ERA of 6.91 in 29 starts. Joe kept using him, so dont think the same wont happen with Johnson.
Johnson is slowly approaching those levels. Nobody saw it coming considering the seasons he had prior that one in 2000.
Cone's ERA from 97 until 2000
97 - 2.82
98 - 3.55

We need to replace an ace of the staff right? For arguments' sake, lets say we already have - Moose. So now we need a #2 pitcher. What's a #2 pitcher? Josh Beckett-type? That's Willis, Zito, etc

Melky Cabrera

Bring in Erickson.
Now that's something I thought I would never read in a game thread....
Giambi is killing us right now
I guess...but any other batter and that's a double down the line....plus, it was probably foul. 1B ump seems to have missed all three close calls tonight.
I do wonder what Mike Port is doing in the commissioner's office. Scheduling a lesser and relatively inexperienced crew for a series with a lot of focus is asking for trouble.

But what choice do we have?
We need to replace an ace of the staff right? For arguments' sake, lets say we already have - Moose. So now we need a #2 pitcher. What's a #2 pitcher? Josh Beckett-type? That's Willis, Zito, etc
That's gonna cost us.
There is no other choice, but to keep sending him out there. Hopefully, he will turn it around.
I certainly do not want the Yanks to deplete all of their prospects, on a short-sighted trade.

Why is Big Useless still in this game?
Because old Useless is still managing?;)
J/K I might give Torre a hard time but he does not deserve to be compared to that guy on the mound right now.

Melky Cabrera?
Clement at 80 pitches- one more inning, two max. Unfortunately, I'd kind of like to see him stay. This game will be won or lost by the respective pens....no question. This is just the first half of a basketball games- teams jockying for position before it gets interesting.

Cool Webster. I was never really clear on your stance on RJ. :)
Ace and Ace. Then you can double-down.
For a true gamlber, sure...I prefer the 3 to 2 of the blackjack

this game thread needs some gratuitus nudity.
If Randy had not given up those two homeruns both of which came with two outs and one of which came at 0-2, this game would have been 4-1.
A big problem with Randy has been that one terrible pitch.

1-2-3... you see, all Johnson needed was a couple of innings to straighten himself out. What were you all worried about?
You can't really be a successful pitcher with 2 pitches, one of which is a pretty straight 92 mph fastball, unless you spot pitches perfectly.

I really wish there was a way to complain to MLB about umps.
I understand why there isn't, fans would go crazy with it...
good job Randy.
You know...it is possible they could squeeze two more from RJ.
Dr. Gonzo
05-24-06, 07:53 PM
see
he is hitting his spots, he needed that confidence
and kay you fool, of course that was his best inning
it sucks that he was 0-2 and just missed his spot and allowed HR but he still did it, he can't miss spots anymore, maybe he should talk to moose about control and asjusting your stuff with age
Good, he used 84 pitches to settle down.

Yea. He had to get those 5 runs out of his system before he could pitch.
surge511
05-24-06, 07:54 PM
Ok, he needs to bean Manny to start next inning. I don't care if we lose the game, just rear back for one more 100 MPH pitch, come out, and retire :) That would save our payroll a lot.
Wade_Taylor
05-24-06, 07:54 PM

Its so sad that he is the TV play by play man. Someone should start one of those online petitions to have Michael Kay removed as play by play for YES, UPN or any other television outlet that carries Yankee games

It really has been a major problem since Alderson left MLB. He broke them, and actually levied punishments and demotions when they didn't perform. Now? Ex-Red Sox exec Mike Port is a major softee, and the umps act like lazy tenured teachers with a weak principal.
When you don't need to answer, there's no need to buckle down and do your job better.

Well Randy was one with 2 pitches, but when one and for the most part both are failing him, then we see what we do now.

Umpires would not dare yell at players under Alderson.
That was the right call, but I don't think Rob Drake is actually watching this game.

Wouldnt you split a Ace & Ace?.....Best hand I always thought was a 10 or 11 with dealer showing a 6....
Anyways, how about Bernie? Keep Clement in there please...and Long better do something good here or he may end up on the bench (or cut) soon.....

The Sox have their own issues with Clement. Lets not forget that, too.
