No Pressure

2008-05-27 14:35

by Cliff Corcoran

Ian Kennedy starts for the Yankees tonight. Joba Chamberlain is scheduled to throw 50 to 55 pitches tomorrow night. These two facts are not unrelated.

Chamberlain's pitch counts will increase by ten-to-15 pitches with each outing, and Joe Girardi has acknowledged that Joba's next appearance after tomorrow night's game (or Friday night's, if tomorrow night's starter, Andy Pettitte, works too deep into tomorrow's game) might have to be a start, as Joba could be up to 70 pitches for that outing. While Girardi hasn't ruled out using a six-man rotation during this transition period, eventually Joba's arrival in the rotation will mean someone already in the rotation will have to leave it.

Looking at the names of the five Yankee starters, Darrell Rasner would seem like the odd man out, but he's been the Yankees' best starter in May, posting a 1.80 ERA and a 0.88 WHIP in four starts. Looking that the numbers, Kennedy and his 7.27 ERA is the obvious choice to get the boot, but unlike Andy Pettitte or Mike Mussina, Ian Kennedy is expected to be a part of the Yankees' future success, and thus any strides he makes toward that success need to be encouraged and built upon.

Kennedy has a much higher innings limit this season than either Chamberlain or the injured Phil Hughes, and thus his short outings in April and missed turns in May could already have sufficiently limited his innings for the season. That means the Yankees don't need to move Kennedy into the bullpen to protect his arm the way they did Chamberlain both last and this year. What's more, Kennedy's brief demotion to Scranton proved that he's already too good for the minor leagues. That is to say that, if Kennedy can pitch like he did at the end of last season, there's no good reason for the Yankees to take him out of the rotation.

Kennedy already has one plus in his column, as his last start, also against these Orioles, saw him turn in a strong six innings while allowing just one run. Still, Kennedy will have to repeat the feat tonight while decreasing his walks (he issued four in that last start) in order to have much hope of holding on to his rotation spot. If he does that, he'll make Joe Girardi and Brian Cashman's lives difficult, but in a very good way, and could shift the pressure to Old Man Mussina.

Behind Kennedy tonight, Wilson Betemit gets the start at first base while Melky Cabrera gets the night off and the Damatsambi rotates around to fill the gaps. They'll all face lefty Brian Burres, who out-duelled Kennedy last Thursday in the Bronx with 7 2/3 innings of one-run ball before Jason Johnson came on and blew the game. This will be Burres's third start of the season against the Bombers. He's allowed just that one run in 13 1/3 innings across his previous two starts against the Yanks, throwing 5 2/3 shutout innings against them at Camden Yards on April 19.

So far so good. Lookin sharp.

Good start for Kennedy.

2008-05-27 16:19:48

4. Yankees Brasil

Very nice start, 6 more like this one and we'll be in good shape (hopefully).

2008-05-27 16:19:59

Stop swinging at the first pitch!

2008-05-27 16:22:16

I really enjoy the Babe Ruth version of Giambi. Nice single by Betemit.

2008-05-27 16:22:51

And we played Shelley instead of Giambi yesterday! What a shot.

2008-05-27 16:27:52

15. Yankees Brasil

The season looks a lot brighter when we hit against teams not named Mariners.

2008-05-27 16:34:54

16. SF Yanks

Kennedy has a sizable lead with which to work, hopefully he can hang on to it.

2008-05-27 16:38:19

17. SF Yanks

Fucking Millar.

2008-05-27 16:39:15

19. rbj

Grrrr. IPK is pulling a Moose here.

2008-05-27 16:41:22

20. SF Yanks

Oh boy... it was looking so promising. I was just about to say how confident Kennedy is looking too, even after giving up the first home run. Just two pitches that caught too much of the plate and got hammered. I'm sure his confidence has just plummeted.

2008-05-27 16:41:44

21. cult of basebaal

pitching yer way back to the bush here, meat

2008-05-27 16:42:07

22. nick

I'm beginning to think this is psychological with IPK--the dreaded "makeup"...talk me down, please.....

2008-05-27 16:44:13

23. williamnyy23

Apparently, Kennedy's arsensal consist of 89 mph fastballs down the middle. It seems as if his curveball and change are non-existent, and it's been that way all season. Even the outs in this game have been struck well. Eventually, hitters will catch up to a mediocre fastball over the middle. It's almost been 10 starts and IPK has never really shown a flash of brillaince. With Joba looming, his days in the rotation might be numbered, but at some point, the Yankees might also need to reassess their long-term plans for him.

2008-05-27 16:45:10

24. williamnyy23

22 I wish it was...to my eye, the problem has been very mediocre stuff and poor command, which is a scary recipe.

2008-05-27 16:47:14

25. cult of basebaal

oh, lovely

2008-05-27 16:47:20

26. SF Yanks

22 What I find promising is that after the homers, he's still coming after hitters and not nibbling like he used to. He seems to have a plan, but just threw a couple of bad pitches. Plus his curve looks awfully good tonight...

And thank you ARod for helping out Ian there, ugh!

2008-05-27 16:48:43

27. rbj

Kennedy seems to start off well, then gets into trouble. Maybe he should be Mo's successor so the Yankees can get the one good inning out of him.

2008-05-27 16:50:11

28. OldYanksFan

If Melky is in CF, this 4th run may not have happened.

2008-05-27 16:50:27

29. SF Yanks

What's with all the pitches right down the middle?

2008-05-27 16:50:39

30. Yankees Brasil

Back to the days when no lead is big enough for our pitching staff to blow.

2008-05-27 16:50:43

31. nick

what a fucking shambles...

2008-05-27 16:51:14

32. williamnyy23

27 I don't really think he starts off well as much as it might take hitters a few batters to gage his stuff. Also, in the first inning, Roberts crushed a ball to the opposite field, so it's not like he was dominant.

2008-05-27 16:52:32

33. williamnyy23

28 If Melky is in CF, either Betemit, Giambi or Damon wouldn't be in the lineup, so at least 1 run comes off the board.

The offense has down its job; this game is all on IPK and it's getting to the point that the Yankees can't simply allow him to be ineffective and show little progess.

2008-05-27 16:53:18

34. nick

Rasner gets outs with unimpressive stuff; it seems to me it's half lack of command and half seizing up when he gets in a jam....I dunno...I grew up on the 80s teams and basically expect all young pitchers in pinstripes to suck.

2008-05-27 16:53:28

35. tommyl

That fourth run you can't pin on him. Runner tagging from first on Damon's arm. Then Molina drops a ball (on what should have been the third strike to Roberts), then A-Rod blows the throw on a weak groundball. That's a lot of things going wrong for him. Those first three though, all on him. Lets see if he recovers at all.

2008-05-27 16:53:41

36. rbj

32 Which is why you make him an apprentice for a few years.

2008-05-27 16:54:00

37. Yankees Brasil

So, Kennedy dominates triple-A but gets crushed by major leaguers. A slightly better version of Jeff Karstens?

2008-05-27 16:56:44

38. Yankees Brasil

Giambi is the man. Can't believe Shelley started yesterday instead of him.

2008-05-27 16:56:47

39. tommyl

Holy hell Giambi is hitting well. Wow.

And Betemit, sporting the Edwar goggles? Is this whole team going blind?

2008-05-27 16:57:31

40. OldYanksFan

Ya gotta luv the big lug, yes?

2008-05-27 16:57:59

41. RIYank

Raise your hand if you like mustaches.

So, yeah, I guess Joba will take Ian's next start, huh? Maybe IPK can be good out of the bullpen.

2008-05-27 16:58:44

42. nick

with that stach the Big Pimp is a monster!

2008-05-27 16:58:52

43. Yankees Brasil

Offense, please don't let this pitcher, who gave up 4 runs in 3 innings, pitch 7 innings tonight. Please knock him around some more and get to their 'pen.

Thank you.

2008-05-27 16:59:08

44. OldYanksFan

Does anyone else get a little sick when MLB ADVERTISES that you can vote for the All-Stars TWENTY FIVE times? What a joke!

2008-05-27 17:00:07

45. SF Yanks

Lets give Ian a chance here. If he can go 3-4 more innings without giving up any runs it turns into a quality start. That may be a lot to ask though.

2008-05-27 17:01:58

46. cult of basebaal

37 i much prefer goldman's nickname for karstens, Scary Flyball Guy ... we'll see if IPK steals that nickname away from him

in better news, looks like Horne is done with extended spring training starts in his rehab and is next scheduled to make a real start

IPK may find himself sharing the fate of the yankee clippard if he doesn't show some real improvement, real soon

2008-05-27 17:03:03

47. SF Yanks

Ian's curve moves way left. It's kinda cool looking. He should throw more junk and less fastballs down the middle. Kinda how he's going about this batter.

2008-05-27 17:03:55

48. rbj

Did Michael Kay just say he's never seen a Star Wars movie?

64 After Kennedy goes 1-2-3-4 (1-2-3 + error) and gets Millar out? Seems to be recovering, pitch count is still quite low. I think you have to stay with him.

75 Only Pujols matches Arod in the opposite field power department. Even when they just miss a little (and that's what Arod did), the ball still flies.

Why is Kennedy out?

What is Wilson Betemit good at?

Hmmm. Injury to Kennedy?

O's broadcast said he left with the trainer. Injured?

Great, so IPK is hurt and Betemit can't catch a ball. Sigh.

orioles announcers said something about IPK leaving with the trainer, but didn't elaborate

The Yankees need to solve this 1B defense problem. The Yankees are disproving the theory that defense at 1B isn't important.

We have 4 1Bmen and Giambi may be the best fielder. Whaddayathink?

still, that was pretty damn lazy by a-rod ... set your damn feet when you've got plenty of time

Horrible D tonight. Let's just not give it all back. Give one or two, but not four.

89 Just my favorite Yankees :)

Actually, I don't think we have a first base problem. Giambi should be the everyday guy.

103 Guess they woke up again.

100 Not well enough to justify the gaping hole of suck he is doing anything else.

99 Whoops! Make that 34.

101 It's close, but what is certain is only Giambi has a bat to carry his glove. Still, Jason does need some days off from the field, so it would be nice if someone else could do a decent job.

Oh Crap.

I just realized who is going to take Kennedy's spot.

#43 is Razzle. Who is #51?

110 Joba Chamberlain? That's bad...how? I'm more worried that the kid is hurt.
