Yesterday, Steve posted his thoughts on the Yankee first half, so I thought I’d follow suit.
In general, the team has done very well. They’ve got the best record in baseball as of now and this comes despite some injuries and general inconsistency. Despite injuries to their Opening Day DH, Nick Johnson, and CF, [...]
Now that the Yankees are more than halfway through their schedule it is a good time to take a look at what has worked and what hasn’t. This much is irrefutable: the team is good. The Yankees have the best record in baseball, and only Tampa Bay has outscored its opponents more. But [...]
The Yankees dispatched the A’s 3-1 last night in a brisk pitcher’s duel, due largely to Javier Vazquez surrendering only one run over seven innings. Vazquez labored a bit, and was also bailed out by a handful of fantastic defensive plays — Alex Rodriguez‘s diving stop and [...]
To borrow a phrase from Larry, the thinkable happened. The Yankees lost back-to-back games against Cliff Lee and Felix Hernandez. The only thing that may have been unthinkable heading into this series was just how badly the Yankees would lose. I would have penciled Lee and King Felix in for 7.2 innings [...]
I turned this one off in the 4th and hit the sack after Javier Vazquez gave up the lead as a result of yet another Adam LaRoche RBI base hit (speaking of which, I am totally on board with NoMaas’ plot to bring LaRoche to New York. [...]
After starting the year off horribly, Javier Vazquez seems to have righted the proverbial ship. Four of his last five starts have been absolutely great and in those five starts, he’s put up this line:
32.2 IP, 19 H, 10 ER, 12 BB, 31 K, 3 HR, 2.81 ERA, 0.9627 WHIP, 2.58 K/BB.
While [...]
Remember everything I said about the Toronto Blue Jays’ pitching before the series started? Well, it was even better than advertised. Over the first 30 innings of the three-game set between the Yanks and Jays, Toronto allowed the Yankees just three runs. That’s a 0.90 ERA.
Brandon Morrow [...]
The Yankees beat Baltimore 3-1 behind seven innings (including seven strikeouts) of one-run ball by the ever-enigmatic Javier Vazquez. Granted, Vazquez took care of business against the team with the second-lowest wOBA in the American League, but a quality start’s still a quality start.
The Yankees only scored [...]
Is this what it looks like when a pitcher tries to pitch hurt? There are five things about Javier Vazquez that make me nervous.
1. Loss of command
Courtesy of Fangraphs, we see the following:
In his 13 year career, Javier Vazquez has averaged 2.38 walks per nine innings. Prior to this year, his [...]
The Yankees dropped the final game of three to the Twins 8-2 in what can only be characterized as a poor effort all around. Javier Vazquez was terrible, allowing five runs in 5 2/3 innings. To their (slight) credit, the slumbering Yankee offense shrunk the gap to only two [...]
