2012 Freddy Garcia performance thread.

[NelsonMuntz]

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

Agreed. I can't even be mad at him. I just want him gone at this point.

[dabomb2045]

DFA...he's finished

[BeantownYankee]

If Pineda can't go, Pettitte should replace Hughes, and Phelps should replace Garcia.

Yes only insert a P into the rotaion going forward

[Torre Must Go]

Any chance Girardi doesn't pull Garcia from the rotation now?

Pineda with a bum shoulder could maybe get through 2 innings.

[dabomb2045]

Cant wait for the postgame. "Freddy had good stuff today, just got beat. We have full confidence in him. He will make hie next start".

[enozlac]

can we please stop trotting out the corpse of Freddy Garcia? Call up Betances or Manny B or SOMETHING. can't automatically pencil in a loss every 5th day if we want to contend.

[enozlac]

P.s. Why is roy oswalt sitting unsigned when this a$$hole garcia takes the mound

Got it in one.

[montrealer]

Stick a fork in him.......no.....really stick a fork in him......

Just buy him a nice cutlery set. Maybe he'll try making sandwiches more often this year.

Betances has more BB than K or IP if IIRC.
Man Bam on MiLB DL IIRC
Mitchell and Phelps are the only options at this point but I really hope one of them takes Freddies next turn.

Meanwhile....

I'm not going to criticize Cashman for trading Burnett because I was all for it at the time, but they are missing him right about now.

[bomber999]

Thanks for the smoke and mirrors from last year. You seem a decent fellow. Just please never pitch another game for this team.

[DJ27]

4 miserable starts......... enough is enough.

[flymick24]

i don't think we'll ever miss burnett, and he would never do what he's been doing in the AL

what i'd like to see is cashman being more proactive and cutties ties with garcia and bringing up some AAA arms... they can't do any worse

[Torre Must Go]

I believe Garcia would be the first Yankee pitcher in franchise history to have 3 straight starts of less than 2 innings if he gets another start from Girardi. At least we can see potential history if somehow this guy gets another turn in the rotation.

[nhyankeefan]

I think it's time for Freddy to come down w/ a sore shoulder or something so they can DL him and call up DJ Mitchell.

[dabomb2045]

DJ Mitchell!! Garcia's ERA is 13...its not possible for Mitchell to be any worse. His stuff alone is like 10000x better then Garcia's.

[JfromJersey]

Cant wait for the postgame. "Freddy had good stuff today, just got beat. We have full confidence in him. He will make hie next start".

Joe doesn't like to throw his guys under the bus, but even he has to stop insulting our intelligence by putting a positive spin on everything.

[JSG]

DFA...he's finished

Si señor. Como se dice DFA en Espanol ??!!

[NelsonMuntz]

Si señor. Como se dice DFA en Espanol ??!!

Adios, amigo?

Hasta la vista.

It's a shame neither Betances nor Banuelos have stepped up so far this year. This would be an excellent opportunity for either of them to get their first legitimate shot in the majors. As it stands, Mitchell, Warren, or Phelps seem to be the only realistic options.

[hellonewman]

A not-too-encouraging clue as to Girardi's intentions is the fact he pulled his usual nonsense today re: the long man - that is, not really letting him go very long. If he had really had enough of Garcia you'd like to think he'd let Phelps stretch out for more than 32 pitches with an eye toward the next start.

Might be reading too much into this but I fear we're in for another "joyride" in 5 days.
