Michael Pineda’s miserable season.

“It’s easy to say it will turn, but it’s been too long,’’ pitching coach Larry Rothschild said following Pineda’s latest lousy outing Tuesday night at Chase Field, where the Diamondbacks hung a 5-3 loss on the right-hander in front of 30,913. “We are almost a quarter of the way through his starts. We need to straighten it out, especially in the stretch. He is going through a major bump in the road right now.’’

It’s more like the Titanic when it comes to Pineda, who was supposed to progress toward the top of the rotation, but is sinking fast.

The Yankees HAVE BEEN OLD for a while now.

Sabathia, Rodriguez, Teixera and company have not been dominant players for quite some time, now.

The last time that they won 90 or more games was in 2012.

For a team that has had a payroll that has been in excess of $200 Million for more than a decade now, that's considerably sub-par.

Joe Girardi made a believer out of me guiding that geriatric team to winning records and even the playoffs over the past few years.

Playing at Yankee Stadium helps. That place is also a joke.

"Steinbrenner backed manager Joe Girardi, his coaching staff and general manager Brian Cashman on Wednesday and blamed players for the team's poor start, which bottomed at 9-17. Mark Teixeira, Chase Headley, Michael Pineda and Luis Severino were singled out for criticism. "Needless to say, the first five weeks were disappointing, frustrating, particularly looking at the offense,"

In the Richard Justice thread you said, "Girardi is probably getting fired." Is he responsible for these rankings?

Don't look now but the Yankees are 7-2 in their last nine, and one game under .500

See this is why I want them buried. Girardi will not let the team give up.

Let's talk when the Yankees are over .500. I bet they have another losing streak now. It's like when the O's used to finally get to .500 and lose 10 in a row.

Yeah but the Yankees haven't actually finished a season under .500 yet. Their worst season is 84-78 under Joe Girardi. Their last losing season? 1992. 1992!

The Pinstripes will be over .500 soon -- the good news is their victim will be Toronto Blue Jays. Har har.

    • I think it means it was 12 balls and 9 strikes in the 6th inning and then the math would work out. Of course, that assumes he’s right/being honest about what it what through 5 IP. 
    • There was no reason for him to enter that game. 
    • Yeah, I agree. I think Baumann is fine. I half expect for them to option Akin because that buys them time to make a more permanent decision. We'll find out pretty darn soon, I presume.
    • Does the 6th inning not count?    Anyway, your math is wrong.  He threw 59 of 98 pitches for strikes.  You say he was 12-21 in the 6th.  That makes him 47 of 77 through 5.   That’s 61%, not 65%. But anyway, you’re picking one negative sentence in @Sports Guy’s post, when mostly he’s posting something positive.   Seems like you’re just looking to pick a fight, and/or overly defensive about any criticism of Povich, no matter how mild.    For me, if I were to grade Povich’s progress this year compared to my expectations, I’d probably give him a 9.9 out of 10.   Doesn’t mean he shouldn’t work on the 0.1.    I wanted to see him going 6+ innings pretty regularly as a next step in his progression.  Well, there’s one.    
    • 1) you didn’t answer my question..predictably. 2) All that shows is that he wears down as the game goes on, which is something we have discussed as a potential issue. But sure, the 65% is a good sign. If you had the ability to not be a complete dbag about him, you would see that people aren’t bashing him but any single comment that is a negative against him, you fly off the handle like some unhinged  college student.
    • Can they put Kimbrel on the DL for now, and keep both Baumann and Ramirez? Kimbrel warmed up last night, but didnt come in the game. Maybe he's still hurting.
    • There is definitely a heavy bias keeping the "unofficial" Power Rankings from straying too far from the "official" Prospect Rankings for the time being. Looks like only a couple guys have moved significantly based on performance.
