caliber66 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Seriously? I've never heard that excuse for headhunting given before. And it was Wang's no-hitter -- wasn't it the reliever throwing at him?Seems plausible to me. Link to post Share on other sites

tongue-tied lightning Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 takes guts for a rookie to do that. how crazy is this baseball season.one day yer up, and .... did ya read about Terry F. and his whoredrobe problem ? Link to post Share on other sites
Stefanie Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 i really don't think joba was throwing at him on purpose. if he had wanted to hit youk, he would have hit him...simple as that. i'm not really sure what he was doing but i don't think it was intentional. he's too green in the game to be acting like roger clemens just yet Link to post Share on other sites
caliber66 Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 I didn't see the game, but if he threw two 97 mile an hour fastballs over his head, it was on purpose. Link to post Share on other sites
Stefanie Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 well you didn't even see the game and those of us who did don't know either. no one will ever know. Link to post Share on other sites
boywiththorninside Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Based on the Cashman-dictated "Joba Rules" (pitch one inning = one day rest, pitch two innings = two days of rest), the whole thing seems suspicious to me. Why would Torre send Joba out there for another inning with a 5-0 lead when this would mean Joba wouldn't be able to pitch again until Sunday? My thinking: he didn't intend Joba to be out there for a full inning. The plan was for Joba to throw at someone right away and then get taken out (or tossed). The intended target was probably Ortiz, but he flew out on the first pitch of the inning. A-Rod got plunked yesterday, so Ortiz had one coming today. That's my theory anyway. The main flaw to this theory, I think, is that by ordering Joba to throw at someone, you run the risk of losing him to suspension. Nonetheless, I'm sticking to my theory. Additonally, just look at the replays. I've been watching Joba pitch for a few weeks now and the kid has missed his target maybe twice this entire time. Now two pitches in a row, he's that far out of the strike zone? Those two pitches were Joba hitting his target, as he usually does. It's just this time his target was right above Youklis's head. Just my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites
Stefanie Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 when you consider who they're playing this weekend, resting joba for 2 days doesn't seem like that big of a deal. they can't only rely on this kid to get the job done anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
boywiththorninside Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 For whatever reason, the Yankees always struggle with Tampa Bay. I don't think the Yankees are looking past them, or are thinking they won't need Joba to beat them. I agree though they need more than Joba in the bullpen to maintain this slim WC lead or to...maybe...yes...catch the Red Sox. Link to post Share on other sites
