Pettitte: “I feel like I’m ready”
Joe Girardi said he’ll talk to Brian Cashman in the next day or two about a plan for Andy Pettitte, but Pettitte seemed to think today’s five innings in Rochester were all he needed to rejoin the big league rotation.
“I’m going to let them let everybody know what we’ve got going on,” Pettitte said. “I feel like I’m ready, and I think they’re ready for me to come up.”
Pettitte gave up five runs — three earned — on eight hits through five innings. The final pitching line isn’t particularly good, but according to my old friend Donnie Collins, Pettitte said after the game that he feels ready for major-league hitters.
“I do,” Pettitte said. “I just felt like it was getting my work in. Felt really good my last start, had a better feel for my offspeed pitches. I don’t know, I just couldn’t feel the ball coming off my fingers real well (today). Maybe the heat down in Tampa helps with that. All in all, it was good. It was good to get out there, get in trouble and have to work my way out of trouble, just going through what you have to go through to get ready. … It’s inevitable, I believe, to get me up there and get in the mix.”
This was Pettitte’s sixth minor league start, and his second in a row approaching 100 pitches.
“Speaking with them, there was no rush,” Pettitte said. “We knew all along, they were telling me how many starts I needed to make if I stayed healthy and continued to progress and feel good about things. There was no need to rush, because it’s difficult what I’m trying to do. I’m excited to get back, and I believe everyone is excited to get me back. I’m looking to go up there and do my part. I think everybody knows what to expect from me. I don’t go out there and throw shutouts or complete game shutouts. I’m going to battle and give six, seven, eight innings. I’m going to battle my tail off. It’s not going to be easy for me, and it never has been easy for me.”

Baltimore’s Chris Davis is having a game from Hell. 0-6 with 5 strikeouts and a GIDP. In the “Pigs do Fly” category. Reynolds is 2-2 with 4 walks and a stolen base.
If he pitches that poorly in the minors, I think Pettitte is delusional when he says he’s ready for major league hitters. Unless he wants to get clobbered.

==========
I think there is a different mind set in pitching in the minors to get your stuff together than pitching in a game that counts. So I would tend to trust what Pettitte is saying, if he says he is ready, he must be.

Thanks Odds,
Let’s hope the few ppl are right….i don’t think that was Mo’s intention to leave the game, he deserves to leave it on his terms, not because of a freak injury. Maybe if he can’t make it to October, we may see him next season.
——————-
He is definitely come next season. He let it be known this is not how he wants it to end
From the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle:
New York Yankees star pitcher Andy Pettitte pitched five inconsistent innings at Frontier Field today and left to a standing ovation before a regular-season stadium record crowd of 13,584.
““I did not expect it,” he said of the packed house. “I didn’t realize there were so many people here, or even that the game had been moved from Batavia. Tell everyone I said ‘thank you.’ I wish I had pitched better.’’
Andy, classy as always. And he signed autographs after speaking with the media.
Spring training is over for Andy Pettite it appears……..My expectations are mild for the first 5-6 starts

=============
He would be an upgrade over Garcia at worst and at best another number two. Did you seePhelps start? I am wondering how did he performed.
Mason williams is 3-3 with a 2 run homer, RBi single and a stolen base. Tyler Austin is in his first prolonged slump of the year. 0-2. Bryan Mitchell throw 4 innings, 4 hits, 1 run, 2 walks, 3 strikeouts. Bichette is still slumping but is 1-2 with a run scored. sanchez isn’t playing.
GB7,
Is it true that Campos is hurt?
Lindstrom gets the job done. Going to the 14th.
GO O’S!
The Knicks won a playoff game and Phil Hughes pitched into the 7th inning?
Is this real life?
Hi Trisha,
Feeling better from your allergies?
The most inconsistancy with Pettitte was his defensive upport. 2 unearned runs and 2 errors, not counting plays that weren’t made. Not brilliant, but wasn’t that bad. Pawtucket has quite an offensive team.
Yeah, Campos has a barking elbow. Not much word on the situation.

One of the few times that I’m looking for Boston to win a game is today.

Thanks, when it rains it poors! No breather for the Yankees lately. Let’s hope the luck factor flips our way from here on out. About the Sux, I hate them but I want to catch up with first place more.
Pat M ,The more important question is Has the pool opened yet
Hi luis! Feeling much better thank you. I still haven’t isolated the cause, but the prednisone did the job.
Unfortunately I hate the Sux enough that I’m willing to wait out first place, ha ha! A sweep of the Sux at fenway, by the O’s? HEART BE STILL!!!
Johnson’s pitching is SO righteous.
This is a fun team to watch.
On to the 15th inning. You know at this point it’s just a matter of who blinks first.

@ luis phelps had a high pitch count in his first start but most of us think he’ll get in under control in start 2. He was probably nervous.

I wonder after this Hughes start if Phelps is going to have a chance of a second start?

Totally agree Luis.
jmv –
Not quite as funny, the O’s just hit into their 5th or 6th straight DP. Every time they manage to get their leadoff on, they hit into a DP. Oh dear..
Guess the O’s just need to hit one out and get it over with.
Hi, Luis!
If Andy is ready, Phelps won’t start again, unles Hughes implodes
Here’s the biotch. Wieters just hit a 2-out double. If the darned runners hadn’t been erased, O’s take the lead. Grrr.
I think with Pettitte is just about getting his arm ready
GB – Chris Davis up.
I can’t believe that Sux’ bullpen is stringing zeros
luis,
Come back to the proper hemisphere. Good to see you.
Bottom of the 15th. Hey if the Sux take this, so be it. I want my night back. But I just don’t want it to be at the hands of the cheating roid monster. That’s all.
I take it back. I don’t want them to take it.
GB7,
Thanks for the info on the game, saw the pitching line of Kanhle…not pretty. I thought he was held in high regard. At this point in time, do you think he is as good as Montgomerie?
jmv, really disappointing. They had been so horrendous.
One pitch, one down. Nice.
This O’s Sox game is a win-win for us. Technically we should be rooting for the Sox to win because the O’s are 1st. But if the O’s win —oh well
i think its funny that people are falling for the pitiful O’s again. even kenny singleton pointed out that although their record is nice, they just don’t have the talent to compete in the division when the O’s came to NY this week. they will finish under .500 again.

Pitiful are they? Then give me pitiful any day.
They are just so nice to watch. I’m loving their success. And they are actually quite good.

=============
I am a prospect hugger so I am somewhat at odds on the subject. I want Phelps to pitch for the team, but I love Andy and I wish Hughes to fulfill his promise. But i agree that he isn’t pitching unless Hughes implodes.
chris davis is about to come in to pitch for the O’s. shows you have valuable he is to buck that it’s the 16th inning and he still hasnt been used…
“Tar,
Sorry, I can’t
A small but select fraternity.
Kahnle has been on the DL for more than a month. His first game of the year. Throws hard, but, tends to get wild.

No problem I can’t either. I’m just saying if the Sox win-us Yankee fans still win!
“I guess we are on the same page!”

We usually are. Safe travels home.
it doesnt take nostradamus to predict that just like last year the O’s are overachieving early and will suck in the end. just like last season.

I hope so, but it depends on when would be his turn to start. He’ll be on line before Andy, I think
Yep unless Hughes bombs Phelps probably gets sent back to AAA.
Y’s Guy, why would you want to come here and spoil our fun? If you don’t think they’re any good, that’s your prerogative. But there’s no need to dissect them right now.
*********
They played 13 Friday night. At this point if you’re one of the players do you just want the game to be over or do you scrap for everything to win it?
Actually for the Sux there’s no question they need to scrap for the sake of any pride they may have left.
Tyler Austin just hit his league leading 10th homer off of the batter’s eye in dead center.
Luis,
Please stop talking trash about hotels food and how good is home stuff. I’m going to be out for 6 weeks soon.
Well guys ii have an early start, so I bid all a very good night.
Tar,
Thanks for the good wishes!
Luis,
Nice to see you around again! You’ve been missed.
“it doesnt take nostradamus to predict that just like last year the O’s are overachieving early and will suck in the end. just like last season.”
They certainly didn’t suck in the end since they spoiled just about everyone’s chances at success! In fact they may have had the best record in the majors in the month of September. And then there was the sinking of the SS Sux-tanic.
No, they’ll always have a special place in my heart. And they have some different players this year.
But we’ll see!
because in my lifetime the Orioles have been much more of a nemesis to the yankees than the red socks, despite the red socks more recent success. i hate the orioles as much if not more than the red socks and i always will. i do not think much of people who root for other teams in the yankees division, especially the Orioles
Take care Luis
that was actually a very good pitch.
I agree with you, trisha, I think the O’s have definitely improved. Not that beating the Yanks or Sux this year has been too hard, but still…
are you talking about the same orioles who lost 93 games last season? that is pitiful. if you want to say they spoiled someone in september its only because they rolled over like dogs in june july and august.
“i do not think much of people who root for other teams in the yankees division, especially the Orioles”
Well put me on the very bottom of your Christmas card list because I root for all of them except for the Sux. I’m not afraid of competition and it makes me happy to see other teams achieve, especially teams that don’t have the resources the Yankees do. I’d rather have the Yankees play the best teams they can rather than steamroll their way through the season.
I love the internet, luis the Venezuelan exchanging good nights with Wang in Taiwan.
He’s out!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Y’s Guy
This is not the same O’s team as last year, that is obvious to any one who has watched them.
MATT WIETERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my God. UNBELIEVABLE! jmv, was that great??????
what is the difference between rooting for the red socks or rooting for the orioles. im sure the orioles have a better record vs. the yankees than the red socks do..
“If you want to say they spoiled someone in september its only because they rolled over like dogs in june july and august.”
Y’sG, also true, and very enjoyable!
Hahaha!!!!
Of course, Trisha!
Mmmm
Can we borrow Wieters?
they are exactly the same orioles as last year. pretty much the same roster. same april record, same manager, what is different?
“I agree with you, trisha, I think the O’s have definitely improved. Not that beating the Yanks or Sux this year has been too hard, but still…”
“This is not the same O’s team as last year, that is obvious to any one who has watched them.”
Absolutely astute comments. They are so improved.
I have to say I feel bad for Darnell McDarnell. Those losers are booing him? That’s just wrong.
tomingeorgia May 6th, 2012 at 7:23 pm
I love the internet, luis the Venezuelan exchanging good nights with Wang in Taiwan.
Oh Wilson.
The players are not the same. They’ve picked up some really scrappy players. Their pitchers are finally pitching. It’s a different team.
But, whatever.

If Sux lose this, Darnell McDonell would be the losing, er, pitcher.

kenny singleton starts the yankees series by saying that the O’s arent getting too caught up in their recored because they need to ‘improve the roster’ this week. but im sure you guys know alot more about what the orioles are than kenny singleton, what does he know?
anybody want to bet me that the O’s don’t finish better than 4th in the division this year?
“they are exactly the same orioles as last year. pretty much the same roster. same april record, same manager, what is different?”
Are the Yankees exactly the same team?
All I know is that last series against the Yankees they pitched their butts off. They keep pitching like that and they are going to beat a lot of teams. Are they play-off material–no, but they area improved.
who is different on the O’s roster this year besides chen?
Y’s Guy – you come barging in with some kind of chip on your shoulder. Back off. We’re watching a game.
ADAM JONES!!!! My stud player, always had him on my fantasy teams.
Well, Baltimore have Hammel and Chen who have ERAs under 3. The O’s also have the lowest bullpen ERA (1.52) which in the past was not the case.
I would say that’s a vast improvement.
so tar you taking me up on that bet that the O’s dont finish above 4th?
jmv — true.
Unless the O’s have a position player coming in, I smell victory…
no i just speak the truth. nobody taking me up on that offer? c’mon trish, you know so much about the O’s…you’renot taking me up on it?
“trisha – true pinstriped

nobody?
Sux are toast, down 9-6 going to ther bottom of the 17th.
BTW, I’m not real happy about Chen being on the O’s though — the last two mornings I woke up to see the Sux on ESPN — didn’t make sense until I remembered that Chen’s the new guy here in Taiwan — though people all still rooting for Wang to get back. Wang’s just a really classy, humble guy — so rare among athletes.
Texas has also been shown here in lieu of the Yanks. I don’t blame the producers for wanting to see Texas over the Yanks this year, but come on…
Os will fall down to earth. They play Texas next with an exhausted bullpen – they’ll get swept and be on their merry way to 4th place.
so you wanna brag about the great orioles, but you wont bet me nothing that this great team can’t finish above 4th?
“so tar you taking me up on that bet that the O’s dont finish above 4th?”
So Y, I could care less where the the O’s finish in the division as along as it’s behind the Yankees. I agree with Trish- chill out.
My point is that they are an improved team from last year. And here is a bet I will take they have a better record this year, than last. Want to bet?
Did little Bobby V. run out of pitchers ? Tough sh!t !
great job by the great showalter throwing a position player out there to lose this game. nice job bucky!
Wang, and they are #2 in the majors in ERA.
They also have Endy Chavez, Luis Ayala, Tommy Hunter, Pedro Strop, Ronny Paulino AND JJ Hardy is looking like a god.
But other than that, there haven’t been any changes.
You know, suzyn, you just can’t figure baseba;. Chris Davis came inyo the game, hitting .320. Looks for all the word like the game goat with 2 ground outs, 1 more GIDP and 5 strikeouts on an 0-8 night. Now, he’s in line to be the winning pitcher.
HAHAHAHAHA… all of a sudden the crickets take over…. The Great Orioles! Hahahaha!
Chris Davis: 0-8… 5 K’s & a GIDP.
But if he holds this lead in the bottom of the 17th he will be the winning pitcher.
Baseball is a crazy wonderful game.
Come on Y, better record than last year–what do you say?
“I could care less
where the the O’s finish
in the division as along as
it’s behind the Yankees.”
——————————
Simple as that
trisha,
Go O’s. We’ll sweep them next time. I’m tired just watching.
“HAHAHAHAHA… all of a sudden the crickets take over”
Hello Y????
This Sux game is a joke.
Tar – I think he’s been drinking. He’s not making much sense.
no self respecting yankees fan EVER roots for the O’s

Why do you have to think about it? It’s easy—- better than last year or not.

That probably hasn’t happened in 75 years with 2 position player getting the decision in the same game.
so just for the record nobody took me up on the bet… everybody says the O’s are on the rise, but not one person stepped up to the plate.
i saw wade boggs pitch for the yankees in anaheim…terrible game but worth waiting till the end for…
btw,the reason i said they wont finish above 4th is because i think the O’s will finish above the socks. still under .500, but not last place.
“trisha,
You win a game, the gdp’s are forgiven.”
Absolutely. But that was a bunch of them, yeow.
tomingeorgia, I think we’ve earned the right to relax tonight.
I think I will end it with this – THE O’S SWEEP THE SUX!!!!!!!
Y are you ignoring my posts. I want to bet.
The O’s will have a better record this year. This is what I posted. I don’t blame you for not betting though, because they are a better team this year. Just like I posted.
Tar –
Bryan Mitchell is finally healthy. was hitting 96 with some regularity today for Charleston.
ok so you say they will finish 3rd or better in the division and i say they wont. done.
nothing on it but fun to bet anyway. we’ll check in at the end.!
Y’s
Stop changing the narrative to fit your pre-conceived notions.
I and others said the O’s are an improved team from last year. You came on in a huff, and tried to say they are the same team as last year.
Ok want to bet? Yes or No.
trisha,
I’m going to relax. I’m exhausted from yesterday. Today we looked like the New York Yankees. What more could you want? Going to bed, seeya tomorrow. Day off tomorrow, for both me and the Yanks. Hope I and they can sleep late.
Chris Davis 15 of 23 pitches for strikes, he could take Matusz’ spot………………
yes tar, i say once again that the O’s will finish no better than 4th. thats the bet i offered.
Trisha, Tom,
I really like you, guys
The pitching so far for Baltimore has been considerably better than last year, both starting and bullpen. Maybe it’s just maturity, maybe a fluke. They had hitting last year, but, couldn’t outhit their pitching staff. Not sure Ayala is their secret, but, he’s pitching as well this year as he did for NY last year. Adding Lindstrom and O’Day to the pen and Hammel to the rotation has certainly helped. So has adding Chris Davis’ bat…and now his strong right arm.
jmv,
We look on the bright side, aren’t hoping and wishing for somebody or anybody to get fired, and know we’ll play better from now on. It’s a lot easier that way!

Just like the rest of the trolls on here, Fat Pete stops post on Twitter as soon as Boston stops scoring.
Hughes hit 96 a couple of times today, too. When Mitchell gets to where he can make that fastball, move down or in and out just a couple of inches, his strikeouts will go up.
jmv,
Hell, I remember when Horace Clarke was one of our best players. The best is yet to come.

—————————–
Do you see a spot for him in the 25-man when Andy returns?
Horace Clarke gets a pretty bum rap, but, he was a decent hitter, played a solid defense and could run. He gets a bum rap because of the teams he played on. That was not a hitter’s era in the late 60s and early 70s.
tar, i offered a bet. you said you took the bet. now you say iim dense because you tried to change the terms of the bet.
i bet that the o’s will finish no better than 4th. go back and read it. i said the same thing ever time.
you want to bet someone that the O’s will win lose less than 93 game?!? how weak is that?
so if they lose 92 you win? that’s a joke. and not what i offered.
so you saying they will finish above 4th or what?
Tom,
Co-signed. There are always goods things to come
Bryan Mitchell is in Low A Ball at Charleston. DJ Mitchell is in AAA.
gb, tom tresh, too… ( still have that tresh bat-day bat somewhere…)
GB7
Wrong Mitchell then
GB7,
Never said Horace was bad, only that he was one of our best players. We’re a little better now than we were then.
Tommy Tresh’s career started diving when he tore up both knees and his shoulder. He should have been left in left field instead of putting him back at shortstop. He had a chance to be a Matle Ultra Lite. Power, speed, good outfielder with a strong, accurate arm.
Tom, was only saying that Clarke got a bum rap because of that team. Few people know that his first 2 major league homers were grand slams. As many as Jeter has.
Harper
GB7,
Always liked Horace, he was as clutch as anyone on those teams, which were pretty awful,
Y’s you are being dense, probably on purpose.
I said—
“This is not the same O’s team as last year, that is obvious to any one who has watched them.”
You said—
““they are exactly the same orioles as last year. pretty much the same roster. same april record, same manager, what is different?”
They could win 15 more games, which would make them a much better team than last year and still finish in 4th. I’m talking about the O’s being better, not how good division foes are. Where the hell did 4th place come into the conversation anyway”
Ok I will tell you what I am not really a betting man, but Nick is. I say we let Nick say what the bet is. Let him read our posts and call the terms. What do you say?
ok so it is duly noted that i offered a bet that the O’s wouldnt be any better than 4th and although there was a bunch of noise, nobody took me up on it. no problem.
so the O’s still suck, just like i said.
” First baseman Chris Davis struck out five times, grounded into a double play and then tossed two scoreless innings of relief after Baltimore ran out of pitchers, picking up the win as the Orioles beat Boston 9-6 Sunday in 17 innings.”
just got in from golf. that’s the craziest day i’ve seen a player have in a long while.
red sox are hitting the depths.
Chris Davis’ win today was the first AL position player to get the win a a pitcher since 1968. That winning pitcher was NYYs Rocky Colavito.
