Comments on: Learning more about Wounded Warrior http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/07/21/learning-more-about-wounded-warrior/ A New York Yankees blog by Chad Jennings and the staff of The Journal News Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:44:50 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: CUYanks http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/07/21/learning-more-about-wounded-warrior/comment-page-1/#comment-446279 CUYanks Mon, 21 Jul 2008 16:48:00 +0000 http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2008/07/21/learning-more-about-wounded-warrior/#comment-446279 I don't how much you guys believe in this, but last night was a HUGE day for the Yankees in terms of baseball prospectus projections. Their postseason odds shot up almost 5% from 12.53307% to 17.24203%. PECOTA playoff odds went from 16.14% to 21.555% and ELO projections went from 21.8% to 28.1%. Those are huge jumps for one day, especially this far from the end of the season. http://www.baseballprospectus.com/statistics/ps_odds.php I don’t how much you guys believe in this, but last night was a HUGE day for the Yankees in terms of baseball prospectus projections.

Blackburn's capable of shutting them down, but I have a feeling Ponson'll outpitch him. Tuesday's iffy. I have no faith in Rasner. Slowey's last two outings have been horrid though. Wednesday, Lefty vs. Mussina. I have a lot of faith in Mussina, but no faith in the offense. I'd say no sweep; 2-1 or 1-2. Friday will make or break the Sox series; Saturday goes to Pettitte, and Sunday goes to Lester. I'd be surprised if either is incorrect. 2-1 or 1-2. So, 4-2, 3-3, or 2-4 will be the outcome of the next six. Hopefully 4-2 (or better). Monday: RHP Nick Blackburn (7-5, 3.65) vs. RHP Sidney Ponson (5-1, 3.96)
Tuesday: RHP Kevin Slowey (6-6, 4.36) vs. RHP Darrell Rasner (5-7, 4.97)
Wednesday: LHP Glen Perkins (7-2, 3.84) vs. RHP Mike Mussina (12-6, 3.49)

Friday: RHP Joba Chamberlain (2-3, 2.52) vs. RHP Josh Beckett (9-6, 3.98)
Saturday: LHP Andy Pettitte (11-7, 3.86) vs. RHP Tim Wakefield (6-7, 3.69)

I feel ok about the Twins series. Blackburn’s capable of shutting them down, but I have a feeling Ponson’ll outpitch him.

Tuesday’s iffy. I have no faith in Rasner. Slowey’s last two outings have been horrid though.

Wednesday, Lefty vs. Mussina. I have a lot of faith in Mussina, but no faith in the offense. I’d say no sweep; 2-1 or 1-2.

Friday will make or break the Sox series; Saturday goes to Pettitte, and Sunday goes to Lester. I’d be surprised if either is incorrect. 2-1 or 1-2.

So, 4-2, 3-3, or 2-4 will be the outcome of the next six. Hopefully 4-2 (or better).
