Youk is a wimp. Sorry, but the man always over reacts to being pitched inside and to being hurt. He can’t take it.

I am not convinced, unlike nESPN talking heads, that Porcello intentionally hit him. MLB network seems to take that view as well.

Youkilis always whines and complains about strikeouts, pitches inside, and goes into full drama queen mode when he is hit.

Wax on, wax off?

Joba is wound up too tight when he’s pitching or even on days off when leaning on the dugout rail.
Girardi has to get that key out of his back. If he had the cool demeanor of Phil Hughes it would make a difference.”

Totally disagree. When Joba was having his problems in the first half he was not showing his emotions, not fist pumping or yelling, even when he made big outs. Joba needs to be Joba. Trying to change his sttitude takes away the edge that he seems to use to push himself.

Joba’s biggest problems start when he allows runners to get on and then goes into slow down mode.

Skipping a few starts might not be a bad idea for him, but the Yankees should have him go visit his home for a couple of days during that. I think that had more to do with him getting back to pitching well. With him its a mental balance.

He’ll appeal you can bet your last dollar on that.

No new line ups here

What exactly will Youk appeal? No, I did not charge the mound or throw my helmet at someone??

The Sox will tell him not to appeal so that his suspension won’t interfere with the Yankee series
