The offense stays alive |
| For the second night in a row, the Yanks' offense was alive. This is noteworthy as their inconsistent and underproductive offense has been an issue for the better part of the season so far. Their pitching certainly has been sharp. Before the start of tonight's game, their bullpen had pitched 64 innings over the last 20 games, during which time they had a 1.69 ERA with 67 strikeouts and only 21 walks. This was highlighted by Farnsworth's inning of no-hit relief tonight which extended his no-hit streak to 9 innings in a row. Their starters have also been solid, and tonight was also an example of that with Rasner going 5 2/3 innings and only giving up 2 runs. With the Rays loss, they are only 3 1/2 games out. Tonight makes five in a row. Right now, life is good. Labels: Farnsworth, Offense, Pitching, Rasner, Winning |

Timing |
Sometimes, timing means everything. And based on the results of the crushing loss to Boston yesterday, it is fair to question the timing of Girardi's 32-minute team meeting after Thursday's 7-0 loss to Boston. When you have a team that is clearly having offensive consistency issues and frequently does not appear to have their collective head in a game or playing anywhere near their capability, it might be prudent to set your team up for success by gaming the system a bit. What I mean is, if you are going to have a come-to-Jesus meeting with your team, you may want to plan for a time and date that will be conducive to at least one follow-up victory to get your players in the right state of mind. When Girardi called the meeting after the game on Thursday, I have to wonder if he even considered the fact that the Yanks were going to face Beckett the next day and they were going to throw the struggling Darrell Rasner up against him. He could have waited a day or two when the pitching matchups were a bit more favorable to the Yanks. Mussina faces Masterson at the Stadium today and Sunday's game features Chamberlain against Wakefield. Either game would have been a better launching pad for an emotional pep talk than Friday.
It's clear that the meeting was effective, as the first inning resulted in three runs and an offense that was pumped up. However, that was the beginning and end of their post-meeting adrenaline. They were shut down for the rest of the game, and as a result, I can only imagine that their morale is even lower than before the meeting. Girardi is left with the burring question - what does he tell the team now? I'm not sure how he answers that question. The team is not clutch and based on their level of performance and their body language, they don't seem to be too bothered by it. Last year, the Yanks finished their season 50 - 25 only to go limping into the playoffs via the wildcard. This year, there is less reason to believe the team has the heart to comeback this year. I believe, as John Sterling has been saying lately, that this team has a glass jaw and may not be able to recover.Labels: bad decisions, Girardi, morale, offensive woes, Pitching, Rasner, Slump |

Quiet offense |
| When the Yankees are in desperate need of pitching, Darrell Rasner shows up with 8 innings pitched and only allows two runs to score. Unfortunately, the offense never returned the favor for him tonight. Despite 10 hits and a walk, the Yanks could only manage to bring 1 run home. It was Rasner's longest career outing in terms of both innings pitched and number of pitches thrown. It was a great effort on his part and slowly I am beginning to believe that this guy may be a factor down the road and into the postseason if there is one. In fact, with the rotation they have right now, Rasner is their #1 starter according to his 2.58 ERA. In 6 games, he has had 5 quality starts. Whatever happens, the Yanks will need this to continue.

Rasner looks strong |
| Darrell Rasner had his second quality game in as many starts this season on Saturday. For the second time in a week, the 27-year old right-hander threw 6 innings and limited his opponents to 2 runs. In fact, if you consider that he left the game yesterday having given up only one run and leaving a man on first, who was subsequently allowed to score by his Kyle Farnsworth, Rasner really shouldn't be held accountable for the second run. But who can complain? Farnsworth has been throwing as well as he ever has since he has joined New York in 2006. And of course, Chamberlain and Rivera came in to combine for a scoreless 8th and 9th. On a side note, anyone notice how seamlessly Joba has recovered from his blown game on May 6? The kid has maturity. Labels: Farnsworth, Joba, Pitching, Rasner |
