Will The Weather Hurt The Yankees?

Found October 14, 2009 on Sliding Into Home: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Chad Gaudin
TEAMS: New York Yankees

As of right now, which is 8:09 eastern time, there is a 90% chance of rain on Friday, the day of Game 1. It has already been said that Game 1 will be played Saturday, and Game 2 Sunday, then Game 3 in LA on Monday, if there is a rainout. This would put the schedule at:Saturday the 17th: Sabathia vs LackeySunday the 18th: Burnett vs SaundersMonday the 19th: Pettitte vs WeaverTuesday the 20th: TBA vs KazmirThis would mean Chad Gaudin would likely have to make a start in Game 4, no matter what. And that scares me a bit, especially in Los Angeles. Us Yankee fans better pray for rain on Saturday, or no rain at all- that way CC can go Game 4. How would this effect the Yanks if there were to be a Friday rainout?

Gaudin and Game 4.

Via Sliding Into Home  |  October 15, 2009
Since coming over from San Diego, Chad Gaudin has been a mini blessing of some kind when it came to a back end of the rotation guy. Sergio Mitre didn’t fit the bill and we all know about C.M. Wang’s injury problems this season.In 11 games with the Yankees, 6 of which were starts, Chad posted some decent numbers, and he was 2-0 with a 3.43ERA. Chad also struck out 34 guys, gave...

Yankees Considering Three-Man Rotation

Via Sliding Into Home  |  October 13, 2009
From Erik Boland: “We’ve talked about importance of winning Game 3 [against the Twins] so we could set up our rotation the way we want to,” Girardi said. “Not getting him [Sabathia] to 250 innings in the regular season allows us to consider that [pitching him three games].”He said the topic has been broached with Sabathia, but not in depth.“We...

Who's Got the Secret Sauce?

Via Sliding Into Home  |  October 14, 2009
A while back the geniuses at Baseball Prospectus figured out that the three keys to postseason success are having three or four strikeout starters, a strong back end of the bullpen, and a good defense (buy their book Baseball Between the Numbers if you haven't!). Even if you're not a stat guy, just about any baseball insider will agree that, "Pitching and Defense Wins...

Listen: Championship Series Preview, Yanks, Mets Hot Stove

Via *D NY Baseball Digest  |  October 13, 2009
Howard Megdal joined me tonight to chat about the playoffs, Yanks/Angels, and even a little Mets hot stove talk. We discussed why so many closers are having trouble this postseason, reviewed a Philadelphia/Los Angeles matchup, and analyzed the Yanks/Angels.

Gaudin ready for any role

Via New York Yankees - New York Post  |  October 15, 2009
The hell of a 3-0 deficit likely would not get Chad Gaudin the Game 4 start. But if Games 1 or 2 are rained out? Then maybe. Manager Joe Girardi wants to use CC Sabathia three times in the ALCS because he can, because of the day off between Games ...

Weather or not, Joba & Gaudin ready

Via NY Daily News  |  October 14, 2009
With the forecast calling for an 80% chance of rain for Friday both Chad Gaudin and Chamberlain have been told that they might have to step in and start Game 4 on Tuesday if a postponement pushes back Sabathia's start in the opener.

Count Me As In Favor of the 3 Man Yankee Rotation

Via Simon On Sports  |  October 15, 2009
The Yankees are apparently leaning towards going with a 3 man rotation for the ALCS. Thanks to the fact that the ALCS has 3 separate off days the Yankees would be able to pitch CC Sabathia, AJ Burnett, and Andy Pettitte on full rest in every game but game 4 when CC Sabathia would go on 3 days rest. Here are 3 reasons why I agree with the move.1. The Limited Numbers Back It UpThe...

Yanks may go with 3-man rotation vs. Angels

Via Fox Sports  |  October 13, 2009
The Yankees may go with a three-man rotation against the Los Angeles Angels in the AL championship series. Manager Joe Girardi says the shortened rotation would allow him to keep Joba Chamberlain and Chad Gaudin in the bullpen. Such a plan would have CC Sabathia starting Game 4 on three days' rest. Sabathia is used to short rest from his time with the Milwaukee Brewers...

Yanks 3 Man Rotation is out of Fear?

Via Sliding Into Home  |  October 14, 2009
This from Bob Klapisch of Fox Sports:" The upcoming ALCS figures to be an old-fashioned war between two teams that clearly respect each other. But the Yankees are already bracing for this sobering reality: unlike the Twins, the Angels don't fear them."To be honest, I think they look down on us," said general manager Brian Cashman. "They've had their way...
