Why I still get suprised by some of Girardi's decisions I'll never know, but this one is another one of those..."Joe WTF are you thinking"? things. In an effort to stretch out the rotation Girardi has inserted a reliever to start tonight's game & no its not the logical choice of Warren, it's this guy..................... LHP - Chris Capuano, (0-4, 5.64 ERA) VS. LHP - Martin Perez, (0-1, 4.91 ERA) Chris Capuano = 0-4 with a 5.64 ERA in 30 IP & a WHIP of 1.549 Adam Warren = 6-5 with a 3.51 ERA in 92 IP & a WHIP of 1.213 Yeah.............................................................................................lets go with Capuano.
Yanks using Capuano primarily to give Tanaka and Pineda an extra day rest and hold down their seasonal IP --- Chances are the Yanks are going to need to dip into there bullpen early with Capuano pitching and that's why Warren stays in the pen tonight with Betances having pitched in two straight days- we might even see this kid relief pitcher Goody make an appearance out of the pen. Goody, who has seem to come out of nowhere has had very good numbers at, Trenton 41.2 IP AA,- 1.73 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, 12.8 K/ 9 IP Scranton 6.2 IP AAA - 1.35 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, 14.8 K/9/ IP. Worth a looksee. Plus, there could still possibly be something in the works for the Yanks acquiring another TOP reliever which would free up Warren to return the SP rotation for the rest of the way. ...or maybe Yanks acquiring another SP? There certainly is room for improvement.
Yes, I'm well aware WHY they're doing it, I just think Warren would have been the more logical choice.
Warren would be the better choice if one wants a win. Joe chose Crapuano so we'll hope it works, just go out there and kick some ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
...who ever said or implied that Rose was a criminal?...no one. And why are you dragging his lying ass into this thread? ...he's not getting into the HOF...get over it already.
And what happens if Warren only lasts 4-5 innings? Not impossible. You ALSO know Betances has already pitched two straight days and is probably out of play for tonight and the MGR is thinking about the 7-8th innings....and Warren hasn't pitched in two days and is ready for TWO relief innings.....but you want to START him tonight on TWO days rest WITHOUT Betances available for duty tonight....hmmm.....pretty sound thinking...and I guess Girardi feels the need to use Betances THREE straight days after a win last night and a 6-7 game lead? Not bad.....p.s....you're fired! I'm not a member of the Girardi fan club but sometimes there are BASIC moves and manuevers which are reasonable to most who aren't thinking like impulsive "fans"
Like I said I think it's logical to think that Capuano and Warren would split this game. It doesn't really matter to me which way they slice it. In a perfect world Capuano gives a good outing and saves the pen all together.
I hope your're right but imo, in a more realistic world Capuano goes maybe 5+/6+ innings allows at least 4 runs and hopefully the Yanks will put a few points on the board with the pen holding the line in the later innings and I think Girardi may have plans to, and should want to get this kid Goody's feet wet for a batter or two. He's here for a reason and his AA-AAA numbers should be the least of the worrisome thoughts of using him. It'll be his poise and control. This isn't quite a BIG September game. The kid is part of the team/org and he is HERE....now.
Joe probably feels comfortable where he is in standings, wants to see if comp can be relied on if the yanks need him.... Simply experimental
An assumption, have not seen a lot of Yankee ball, what I get is the guy blows, maybe joe is giving him a shot to redeem himself, if the yanks suffer an injury, can he rely on him? I don't know what the F I'm talking about, too much sun, beach, beer, food.
??? "EXPERIMENTAL" and with that piece of shit!!! Deadwood Yankee rears its ugly head. Hey, Joe. You need help. LOL Watching Nova last night made me realize that I had a better day at the dentist! Tonight I may need a sleeping pill.
Betances? what the hell does...............................never mind, I'll never learn. Might be time to join the others.
...ahh, OK... you're talking about Capuano. ...I think at this stage he just a mop up guy...but what I don't get is if Warren is the better pitcher (and he is) why wasn't Warren saved to start this game instead of Cappy? ...who knows about this crazy game...now watch Capuano throw a gem.
