2012 Freddy Garcia performance thread.

[b-ball-lunachick]

But Girardi said he would pitch one of those two games, depending on C. C. Sabathia. If the Yankees keep Sabathia on his regular four days of rest, he will pitch Saturday and Garcia on Sunday.

“I’m not sure we want Freddy to have too much time off between starts,” Girardi said. “You’re probably going to see Freddy one day and C. C. the other.”

I'd like nothing more than a TON of time between Freddy's starts personally. But i get they are worried about his feel for his pitches...he's just painful to watch at this point...

The Yanks arent skipping Garcia, I guess they are giving him enough rope to hang himself.

A Sunday start? Day is already ruined.

Finally get to see the yanks at 1pm on a SUnday and this bum is pitching.

It's not going to be warm either (high around 56). Maybe he'll surprise us. One can only hope.

Anything will be better than last Sundays rain all day and 50. I was stuck in my house painting with 3 kids!!

Off his own in the park home run after Girardi pinch runs for the DH.

You can pinch run for the DH and keep the DH as long as the pinch runner doesn't play the field. I would think there were plenty of times when Giambi was the DH and got pinch ran for.

[teknetic]

I thought he was pitching tomorrow? Saturday afternoon is even worse.

Garcia facing a desperate Tigers team, vs a guy the Yankees never faced before. A recipe for disaster if there ever was one.

Tigers a slight underdog at +114. O/U at 10.5. 89% of the betting public on the over.

I remember reading an article a few weeks before the season began on how the Yankees suddenly had an abundance of starting pitching . Man, that did'nt last long.

[ThePinStripes]

$200+M payroll, 1 good pitcher, 2 shaky average pitchers and the rest are lucky to pitch more innings than they give up in runs.

(this has to be it for him, doesn't it?)

ST Injury
Foreseeable miserable failure veiled in unfounded blind optimism from rookie year expectations 6 years ago
Not-so-foreseeable but somewhat expected failure

Yeah, that'll take it's toll on things

[flymick24]

there's no way dj mitchell would be doing any worse... or even phelps in the rotation

I'm wondering now if Andy did'nt get a desperate phone call in the middle of ST from Cashman, as his recent comments seem to indicate, at least as far as Pineda is concerned, just what shape he thought the Yankee starters were in.

[NelsonMuntz]

Pies.

[teknetic]

Straight up garbage. Go away.

[Yankeesfan924]

So long and thanks for all the fish.

[flymick24]

rolling the dice on him for a second successful year in a row was our fault, i suppose

[PirateChief]

Why'd we pick him instead of Bartolo?

[Torre Must Go]

Cashman should give him more money.

Cashman had a great off season coming into the 2011 season but this past one might of been the worst one I've ever seen.
