I think Javy’s biggest problem is the inability to locate his fastball and unwillingness to challenge hitters. Everything is away, away, away…

I’m sure the Yanks would have been happy to sign Johnny for what he got from Detroit. He turned down more. We’ll see how the year plays out, but I suspect Johnny won’t finish the year at .323 and Nick won’t end up at .135.

betsy-

Here’s the answer to the question you posed re: JV’s early season starts in prior years. if you wish to study further the info. is from “baseball reference”.

2006 ERA after 6 games = 2.88

2007 = 3.52

2008 = 3.72

2009 = 4.19

I see the there’s plenty of whining and snot slinging from the usual suspects about the Yankees, Girardi, Johnson and Vazquez. I’m shocked…shocked to find that going on in here.

Vazquez has never had much success against the Angels, regardless of which team he pitched for. Why would these 2 games be different?

I take a few things out of this 6 game romp with the Angels. Number one is the face that they split those 6 games, which is better the the recent norms. another thing, Howie Kendrick has made a really nice career out of killing the Yankees. In 6 games this year, he’s hitting .111.

They may have figured him out or it may be a fluke. Either way, he didn’t hurt them. Abreu has hit them pretty well, but, then again, he is a career .300 hitter.

The one that they can’t figure out is Morales. Only Pettitte has had any success in keeping him in check. Of the pitchers he has more than 3 at bats against, he’s hit hard.

Wood is the other one that NYY hasn’t figured out. He can’t hit anybody but Yankee pitching.

I have no idea what Vazquez’ issues are…mechanical or physical. Why isn’t Johnson or Teixeira hitting? No idea. Of course, the amateur doctors and psychologists will claim that Johnson is a physical wreck and Vazquez is a mental midget. Personally, I think that it’s a slump….nothing more.

Now, back to your daily glass of whine.

Magic….possible?!

LMAO!!

So the news Angels guys are worse than Phys and Hudler?

************************
I don’t care for the Angels guys at all. They’re not the worst, but I just don’t care for them.
