Yankees Pitching Review – July 2010 (The Extra Late Edition)

Hey how about some even later than usual graphs?? I have no excuse, I’m just lazy. And honestly this is going to be a comparatively lazy post because I’m stupidly busy once again. So apologies in advance for all laziness. Here’s where we are up to this point (two weeks ago or so) in the [...]

AJ Burnett: The Ride, Coming Soon To A Stadium Near You

Disclaimer: I am fully aware that the following graph does not actually resemble a roller coaster track thanks to my physics class in 9th grade. These two graphs don’t tell us anything we don’t know about AJ Burnett: He is inconsistent and has magnificent and truly horrible starts. That’s just how he rolls. Like a [...]

Yankees Pitching Review – June 2010

It’s that time again! Avert your eyes or click elsewhere if you have any triggers based around graphs with baseball stats. Let’s kick this off with the usual staff overviews. Well, it stayed mostly flat. That’s not bad as a whole. Probably not what the Yankees were expecting but that’s what happens when some guys [...]

Get Better Soon, AJ

AJ Burnett was bad in June. Usually his bad months consist of two horror shows, with some okay starts and gems mixed in but not this time. I am working on something separately, but for the time being here is a graph I made. A challenge was handed out on a sports message board that [...]

Yankees Pitching Review – May 2010

The monthly graphs are a few days late, which I apologize for, but they are still here and as exciting as ever. I hope no dishes were broken in frustration during the wait. First off, here’s the usual ERA/FIP/xFIP comparisons: In a nutshell: May not as good as April. If you’ve been watching the games, [...]

April Pitching Review For The Yankees

A month has ended and a new month has started and that means silly pitching graphs! Since there’s not a whole lot of data out there yet I am just doing the basics. In case you’re not familiar: FIP is a statistic that only takes the things the pitcher directly controls (Walks, Hit Batters, Strikeouts, [...]

Yankees ERA vs FIP by Month – End of Season Update

Once again: FIP is flawed, but until I find tRA/*tRA or xFIP by month it’s what you get as a benchmark next to ERA! Here’s the final wrap for the season. As you can see, the team took a big hit in September but that’s what happens when you’ve got Joba pitching bad and guys [...]

Who Ate All The Innings?

This year, 9 different pitchers started for the Yankees. Whoa, that sounds like a lot, right? Well, last year 12 different pitchers got turns starting. Yes there were odd circumstances and all (such as Chien-Ming Wang dying and going to baseball heaven) but last year the team only had two pitchers approach 150 innings and [...]

Looking at AJ Burnett’s Season In Graphical Form

The last in my series looking at the seasons the top three pitchers for the Yankees put together. I’m not doing Joba or the miscellaneous riff-raff (plus Phil “God Please Shave That Thing Off” Hughes) because frankly it’s not worth the time. I may revisit Joba before the inning limiting kicked in, however. AJ is [...]

Looking at Andy Pettitte’s Season In Graphical Form

Consider this part 2 in a 3 part series. After AJ’s last start in September (tomorrow) I’ll be doing one of these for him as well. I’m leaving out Joba Chamberlain because of the oddities caused by his innings limits and the mish-mosh of fifth starters isn’t really worth looking at unless you are into [...]
