Found August 21, 2012 on Double G Sports: Yardbarker Blogger Network

Joba Chamberlain has struggled since returning from the DL. Since his advent into the major leagues in 2007, the questions surrounding Joba Chamberlain have never truly ceased. Reliever or starter? Are the “Joba Rules” too rigid? Will he recover from Tommy John surgery? Will the freak injury that sidelined him earlier this season end his career? The uncertainties do not appear to be ending anytime soon. Since Chamberlain’s return to the Yankees on August 1, he has done nothing but give up hits and runs, sporting an ERA of 9.45 as a result of surrendering 15 hits in just 6 and 2/3 innings. His latest disappointing outing occurred Monday night against the White Sox. With the Yankees trailing 4-3 in the bottom of the fifth, Chamberlain was called upon to stop the bleeding. Instead, he immediately surrendered an RBI single to Dayan Viciedo. The Yankees rallied in the top of the sixth to regain the lead, but Chamberlain gave it right back when Gordon Beckham slammed a homer off a 94-mph ...

Via Lady At The Bat  |  August 21, 2012
Performances out of a baseball team's bullpen can be contagious, as the Yankees pen proved last night.

Feliciano Likely in Yankees September Plans

Via Sliding Into Home  |  August 20, 2012
From Bryan Hoch:Pedro Feliciano hasn't thrown a pitch for the Yankees since signing a two-year, $8 million contract, but there is hope that may be about to change. Feliciano pitched a scoreless inning on Saturday for the Gulf Coast Yankees, the lefty reliever's third outing for the club, and manager Joe Girardi is hopeful that Feliciano will be able to see time at the...

New York Yankees: Too close for comfort

Via Lady Loves Pinstripes  |  August 22, 2012
Longoria at Yankee Stadium For the second straight night the Yankees lost to the White Sox in the Windy City, 7-3. Starter Ivan Nova couldn’t command his fastball, and since the All-Star break he is 1-4 with an ERA of 7.28, and opposing batters are hitting a .316 against him. I am a big fan of Nova but the Yankees need a lot more from him especially at this time of year, and also...

Yankees' Garcia can't explain how he lost it so fast

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  August 21, 2012
Through four innings Monday, Freddy Garcia looked like the same pitcher who had helped stabilize the New York Yankees' rotation for nearly two months since Andy Pettitte went down with a fractured leg. After Garcia's bend-but-don't-break approach worked in the first two innings against the White Sox, the veteran right-hander settled in and retired six of seven batters...

Joe Girardi explodes on heckler mid-press conference (Video)

Via Larry Brown Sports  |  August 23, 2012
The Yankees lost to the White Sox 2-1 on Wednesday and were swept in a three-game series. In light of the sweep, it’s no surprise that manager Joe Girardi wasn’t in the best of moods after the game. In fact, he even stopped a press conference with reporters to confront a heckler. “Yankees swept, yes!” the heckler yelled, before Girardi began his press conference. The heckler...

Nick Swisher Exactly the Kind of Player Red Sox, Yankees Should Be Looking for (Just Not This Year's Version)

Via NESN.com  |  August 22, 2012
Nick Swisher will be a free agent after this season ends, and reports of his estimated price tag took an interesting turn this week. Swisher, it has been said, could draw a "Jayson Werth contract" this offseason. That terminology is now MLB shorthand for $126 million over seven years, or, by alternate definitions, lunacy. The Washington Nationals were widely -- and rightly...

Thoughts On The Uganda Little League World Series Story

Via Lady At The Bat  |  August 22, 2012
Leave it to the Little League World Series to take my mind off a Yankees team who dropped their second straight game to White Sox last night. The loss and Ivan Nova's continuing troubles have been easily relegated to the back burner of my mind, because history was made in Williamsport yesterday. As you probably know, the team from Uganda became the first African team to win a...

Yankees' Nova struggles again in loss to White Sox

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  August 22, 2012
CHICAGO - A Nova is supposed to be a bright, shining type of star. But a Nova of another kind - the New York Yankees' Ivan Nova - has been anything but bright and shining of late. In fact, you might say he's looking less like a star and more like a rusty, banged up Chevy Nova from the 1970s that's not hitting on all cylinders. In eight starts since the All-Star break...
