The Yankees front office said it was going to happen, but you had to hope it wouldn’t. Joba is officially back in the bullpen as anyone with eyes saw last night. Is it permanent? No. It even makes sense given that the Minor League seasons are pretty much over so he wouldn’t be able to [...]

Panic Ensues
“We don’t think it’s anything serious,” Girardi said. “I’m not really concerned that he’s going to be shut down for a while, but there’s a chance that he’s going miss a start, and we might have to be a little bit creative.” Oh my God he is going to be out forever.

Yankees/Reds – Pitching Notes
Chamberlain 2.1 2 0 0 0 1 0 Joba’s second start didn’t go by without its bumps, he didn’t show very good command of his fastball in the first inning and wasn’t pitching aggressively. With the kind of stuff he has, Joba really should not be trying to paint corners. He was originally meant to [...]
