Yankee Thoughts

Why are the Yankees carrying 3 catchers? I understand that they are still worried about Jorge behind the plate but this is overkill. Can't they just distribute the workload a little more to Molina? This is the reason Shelley Duncan is in the minors. This gives them too short of a bench because Chad Moellers only value is as a backup catcher. He's not a good hitter nor does he have power so you wouldn't use him as a pinch hitter. At least with Shelley you know if the pitcher makes a mistake the ball is going into the bleachers. Moeller is slow so he can'tpinch run and he can't play the field he can only catch. Shelley can play first or outfield decently granted you wouldnt pinch run with him either but at least he can play at least 2 positions in the field. Plus he signed an autograph "Red Sox Suck Shelley Duncan" whats not to love.
I love the small ball and all the stolen bases against SD. It definitely reminded me of the late 90s Yankees that Girardi was a part of that was winning World Serieses. What it also showed me was how well prepared the Yankees were for that series. You know someone did their homework and they went into the 3 game set knowing that they can and will run on the SD battery. Little things like that could be the difference between going to the playoffs and going home, especially in the tough AL East. I hope every idiot that thought Joba should only pitch the 8th inning punches themselves in the face today until they bleed. After his first start they were all yelling "I told you so" totally negating the fact that it was a 22 yr old kid making his first start as Yankee at Yankee stadium with all the build up and fanfare and debate surrounding it. What these morons didn't see was the fact that despite not having a great outing overall, he kept the Yankees in the game only giving up a ER and 2 runs overall. Sure it was only 2.1 innings but it wasn't his fault he had such a strict pitch count. He went 5.2 innings yesterday had 9 K's and his last pitch was 97 mph heater to get his 9th and final strikeout. Again, the only reason he came out was cuz of the pitch count he was on. I like where this is going.
