Hey how about some even later than usual graphs?? I have no excuse, I’m just lazy. And honestly this is going to be a comparatively lazy post because I’m stupidly busy once again. So apologies in advance for all laziness. Here’s where we are up to this point (two weeks ago or so) in the [...]

Joba Chamberlain Did Not Suck Last Night
Joba Chamberlain entered last night’s game against the Royals with a slim lead and the 9-1-2 hitters coming up. I did what I do these days when he comes into a game and half covered my face so that I could avoid watching if we happened to get the godawful version of Joba on the [...]
Yankees Pitching Review – June 2010
It’s that time again! Avert your eyes or click elsewhere if you have any triggers based around graphs with baseball stats. Let’s kick this off with the usual staff overviews. Well, it stayed mostly flat. That’s not bad as a whole. Probably not what the Yankees were expecting but that’s what happens when some guys [...]
Get Better Soon, AJ
AJ Burnett was bad in June. Usually his bad months consist of two horror shows, with some okay starts and gems mixed in but not this time. I am working on something separately, but for the time being here is a graph I made. A challenge was handed out on a sports message board that [...]
Yankees Pitching Review – May 2010
The monthly graphs are a few days late, which I apologize for, but they are still here and as exciting as ever. I hope no dishes were broken in frustration during the wait. First off, here’s the usual ERA/FIP/xFIP comparisons: In a nutshell: May not as good as April. If you’ve been watching the games, [...]
April Pitching Review For The Yankees
A month has ended and a new month has started and that means silly pitching graphs! Since there’s not a whole lot of data out there yet I am just doing the basics. In case you’re not familiar: FIP is a statistic that only takes the things the pitcher directly controls (Walks, Hit Batters, Strikeouts, [...]
The Spreadsheets Are Back
Last year, I kept up (or did my best to keep up) two spreadsheets on Yankees pitching. Gamelogs that kept track of the usual stats (H, K, BB) plus groundballs, fly balls and line drives given up and then tallied the monthly totals. There were two spreadsheets because I kept one for the rotation and [...]
Current Yankees Starting Pitching Depth Chart
I just wanted to put this out here because it’s rather frightening: CC Sabathia AJ Burnett Andy Pettitte Javier Vazquez Phil Hughes Sergio Mitre o_O Your guess is as good as mine but mostly people you really don’t want to think about. If Mitre is in the pen as the long-man, that puts him at [...]
We’ve Been Here Before, Haven’t We?
The Yankees are one win away from a World Series championship. This is, for many of us, old hat. And most of us know that three wins doesn’t guarantee a fourth but it does feel pretty good to have taken two in Philadelphia to be up 3-1. The Phillies decided to give their best starter [...]
Yankees ERA vs FIP by Month – End of Season Update
Once again: FIP is flawed, but until I find tRA/*tRA or xFIP by month it’s what you get as a benchmark next to ERA! Here’s the final wrap for the season. As you can see, the team took a big hit in September but that’s what happens when you’ve got Joba pitching bad and guys [...]
