“I think it’s very simple, we’ve been devastated by injuries. No team I’ve ever seen in baseball has been decimated like this. It would kill any team,” Steinbrenner said. “Imagine the Red Sox without (Josh) Beckett and (Jon) Lester. Pitching is 70 percent of the game. Wang won 19 games two straight years. Chamberlain became the most dominating pitcher in baseball. You can’t lose two guys like that.”
Good stuff from Hank.
Chamberlain became the most dominating pitcher in baseball? Hank, we know it was all, 100%, no questions asked, your idea to have him start and he has done well but come on.
Joba has 3 W’s in the last 2 months. In two of those wins the Yankees offensive performance landed him double digit run support. Far from a pressure packed situation.
