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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
The Fifth Starter Battle That Isn’t, Really
So the word around is that pitchers are going to start being eliminated from the fifth starter battle. Luckily I have inside information and have obtained the names of the first three pitchers out of it: Alfredo Aceves Chad Gaudin Sergio Mitre In fact I’d go so far as to say that they were out [...]
Off-Season Needs Identification: Yay We’re Not the Mets
The Yankees just won a World Series but that doesn’t mean they don’t have any holes. There are no teams in Major League Baseball without holes, or room for improvement after all. But the Yankees thankfully don’t have a lot because the current free agent market doesn’t have much to offer this year. With all [...]
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 [...]
Who Ate All The Innings?
This year, 9 different pitchers started for the Yankees. Whoa, that sounds like a lot, right? Well, last year 12 different pitchers got turns starting. Yes there were odd circumstances and all (such as Chien-Ming Wang dying and going to baseball heaven) but last year the team only had two pitchers approach 150 innings and [...]
