Yanks keep on rolling behind Moose's strong start |
| Mike Mussina pitched 8 shutout innings, limiting the Twins to 6 hits, no walks and striking out seven today. The offense continued to show signs of life, scoring five runs on 9 hits and a walk. And although the bullpen has been getting due attention to their success lately, starting pitching has been strong. In the last 6 games, starters have given up 8 runs in 39.1 innings. No pitcher has gone less than 5.2 innings and two have gone 8. All this, and Wang is still set to come off the DL by the end of the season and (brace yourself) Carl Pavano may even be starting a rehab stint soon, which can't be a bad thing. We can only hope that as they are getting strong performances out of their starters, bullpen and bats, they are not peaking too early this season. This weekend in Boston should be fun.

Just barely hanging on |
| Tonight's game against the Red Sox was one of the most nerve-racking games for as long as I can remember. On top of mounting pressure that increases each year the Yanks do not win another championship is the more recent pressure on the offense that simply doesn't earn its paycheck. Once again, the Yankees made a young, inexperienced pitcher look good. Boston rookie Justin Masterson limited the Yanks to 2 runs over 6 innings, despite allowing 6 hits, 2 walks and hitting 3 batters. He was able to do this because the offense, yet again, gave away opportunities to score that were handed to them. For example, Jason Giambi struck out with one out and the bases loaded in the third inning. When you make over $23 million a year, there really shouldn't be a lot of tolerance for at-bats like that. I'm not attempting to suggest that Giambi, or anyone else for that matter, should be batting 1.000 with runners in scoring position. I'm not implying that every runner on third base with less than 2 outs should be brought home. However, when you have a $90+ million lineup, you should be scoring more teams than the Bronx Bombers. Despite the fact that they only managed to push 2 runs across the plate tonight, a heroic pitching performance by Moose managed to save them. He tossed six shutout innings, limiting Boston to 4 hits and 1 walk. Veras and Farnsworth provided perfect middle relief. It was not until Mariano came in to close it in the 9th when it got interesting. Before he even got an out, he gave up 2 hits and hit 2 batters. The bases were loaded with the score 2-1 when Mo struck out Crist, got Varitek to pop out and got Lugo to strike out. It was not fun to watch. Despite the nailbiter win and the solid pitching by Moose and the middle relief, the fact of the matter remains that the offense is sputtering and has no heart. There will be no happy ending in 2008 if things don't change. Labels: Moose, offensive woes, Pitching, Rivera |

Moose in the Hall? |
| As Mike Mussina approaches 260 wins, there has been the inevitable speculation about his chances of making the Hall of Fame. I'm giving Moose less than a 50% chance of making the Hall and here's why: If he hits 300 wins, he'll have a solid chance. For every win less than 300 he has after he retires, it's going to be that much harder to make the case. At the age of 39, he still has flashes of brilliance, but he also gets hit hard. This inconsistency will be the reason he won't make it. His ERA has been and will continue to be over 4.00. At his age, that's going to get worse, not better. The Yankees have the offense to carry a pitcher who can't dominate the opposing offense, but this is probably the last year he will be a Yankee. He'll probably finish the season with 265 career wins, give or take. So, in 2009, if he wants to pitch, he will be 40-years old and pitching for a team that, in all likeliness, has a much less capable offense than the Yankees. You have to ask the question - how likely is it that a 40-year old pitcher who needs 35 wins to hit the magic number for making the Hall and has an ERA north of 4 and is pitching for a team that can probably only score enough runs for him to win 8 to 10 games a year will actually win 35 games before he is just too old to pitch anymore? My guess - not very likely. I like Moose and I hope he has a chance to get a ring before he leaves the Bronx, but I just don't see him in the hall. Labels: Hall of Fame, Moose |
