I'd absolutely rather have Joba out there on a pitch count than a retread like Dan Giese. Patience will continue to lead to results for the great young talent this team has collected these past few years. Whiners can go root somewhere else. GO JOBA!!!! GO YANKS!!!! Exciting times ahead.

This is what you want, a 22-year-old power arm with a chance to be a No. 1 or No. 2 starter down the road." Just like Phil Hughes right? “Exciting times if you’re a Yankee fan.

IIRC, the innings cap is for the regular season only. In case of playoffs, the innings cap goes out the window. “Does “remainder of the season” include the playoffs, if we’re that lucky?”

Girardi is an idiot. 2. Cashman should take matters into his own hands 3. When the hell is George going to step in and tell his son to stop screwing with this team? God, you have HOF’ers telling you to leave the guy in the bullpen! Who do you listen to Hall of Famers, or Hank Steinbrenner? Im thinking Hall of Famers, but thats just me. Good job, guys! Way to go! Pitching wins championships! I believe pitching includes the bullpen. Correct me if im wrong. You cant pitch Edwar and Mo everyday! Who else do we pitch? Ohlendorf? Farnesworthless? I dont think so! And you know that Brittons not going to pitch because Girardi doesnt like him. 5 guys cant do everything. Move Joba back to the set-up role, call up Dan Giese to take Kennedys slot, and all is well. Oh and please Yankees do everyone a favor and say to Shelley Duncan, “We dont want you, your exactly a mirror image of Adam Dunn, we dont want Adam Dunn.” Call up Brett Gardner already!" Wow. This has to be satire. I couldn't be this stupid if I tried. “Ok, 1. Girardi is an idiot. 2. Cashman should take matters into his own hands 3.

You can't be serious. Joba has ALWAYS BEEN A STARTER. I guess these Yankees "fans" are going to have to cry about it and watch as he starts knowing there is literally NOTHING you can do about it. Hurts doesn't it. Dan Giese? You can’t be serious. Joba has ALWAYS BEEN A STARTER.

I guess these Yankees “fans” are going to have to cry about it and watch as he starts knowing there is literally NOTHING you can do about it.

Hurts doesn’t it.

For Joba 75-80 pitches is like, 4 innings. he use to get to the 6th inning w/ 80 pitches as a limit in the minors" Umm, Major League competition>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>AA competition. Thats why, if you are going to use him as a starter, build his stamina up by sending him to Scranton. This 162 game marathon is not a time to build up someone. Not at anytime during the season! The time and place to build up stamina is during the AAA season, in Scranton! “Bad decision. For Joba 75-80 pitches is like, 4 innings.

Bad move starting him against Halladay and the suddenly ferocious Blue Jays offense. 2. Why not start him down the line vs the Royals? This is going to kill the bullpen the way it's set up. Why don't the Yankees live without Joba for ONE week while he's getting stretched out in the minors so that when he comes up he can be 100% prepared, ie. throw 100 pitches. Two things:
