Mr. Ohlendorf is making a case for himself to replace Joba in the set up role, coming in relief for Mussina in the 6th, allowing one hit in two innings work, giving up no runs. He threw 20 pitches over 2 innings with 15 strikes. That 94 mph slider “Ollie” touts was effective again today. Hopefully, he doesn't have to go in anymore extended inning showings. Not good for a youth, finding his way.
“JOBA Cometh.”
“Joba Cometh” struck out one, no runs in one innings’ work. He threw 12 pitches, 9 of which were strikes. An excellent "bounce back" after letting one go, and taking his second loss this season in his last appearance. A good sign for a budding star, looking to start.
MO.
Nuff said. Gave up no runs, and one “hit” that streaked over a “wall shy Abreu.” He kept his ERA a perfect Zero. "Just give him the Cy now."
A Lacking Defense in Right Field Hurts
In past games Abreu has pulled up on 2 fly balls in one game against Kansas, allowing for 2 runs in a Yankee loss, while tossing up two errant throws to the plate. He let another ball over his head, grazing off his glove, while failing to jump to catch the ball in Fenway Park. The Abreu - Boston malay ended up in a JD Drew home run, breaking up a Wang no hitter in the 8th. Abreu allowed more runs against Detroit with 2 flies over his head, ending up in a Detroit Sweep of the Yankees. 2 more today, again, over his head, ended up with 3 runs scoring as result, and one “Mad Moose” who was putting up a shut out into the 5th inning until the Abreu mishap. Paul O'Neil must cringe as shots are hit to right field now a day.
Abreu went 0 for 3 today, but on a positive note for Bobby, he is hitting .299 so far this year. Maybe the Yankees could consider Shelly “I'm Hungry, Give Me Some Dirt to Eat” Duncan in Right field
