yanks are pushing joba's next start back and starting mitre in his place
this whole innings limit is gonna wound up costing us this season. he's at like 120 innings pitched and they dont want him going over 160. so to avoid that they're actually talking about shutting him down at some point for the regular season and bringing him back for the playoffs.
do they think this dude is a +@#*++ robot ? how you gonna shut him down and expect him to turn it back on come the playoffs ?
the rumor i'm hearing is they're gonna sign Francesa's man crush bronson arroyo and have him take the bulk of joba's innings. this whole treating joba like he's got a glass arm is getting on my nerves. cash and girardi are acting like the division is wrapped up
yanks better not %$+! this up
None of what you just wrote is true.
Joba will have starts pushed back using off days and such to keep the rest of the rotation intact and will limit his innings down the stretch, and once theplayoffs roll around there will be no limit on him.
Did you see what the stress of an innings jump did to him last year? You want that happening in the middle of September against Baltimore with a division lead?
You cant just "sign" a guy that has a contract with another team. You can trade for him but there's no chance the Yankees take on Aroyo'scontract.
