not really anymore the yankees really fucked up its either you keep him a starting pitcher of put him in the pen. They got money so why cant tey get a decnt pitch
if i remember correctly, his name was legally justin, and has a brother or a cousin named josh. his baby sister was learning how to say "joshua" but couldn't say it and it came out "joba" and started calling justin "joba." both justin and his dad liked the name so they had it legally changed from justin to joba. confusing i know...but i think thats what happened.
Well a couple pitchers can throw 100 mph but they cant do it as many times as Joba can. But thats not the only reason why he is so big, he is big because he is a great pitcher! For example just look at how many strike-outs he got!
he's going for the strikeouts more than the outs. i hope he realises an out is an out. i think he can be more effective if he doesn't try and make perfect strikouts. he will have a low era and lots of ks if he keeps it up; but i want joba to go 6-7 strong without having to throw 100 pitches each outing
did i say i wanted to be a coach? im just saying it would be nice for him to go 6-7 strong because it seems each time out, he throws 100 after 5 innings. joba got sent to the bullpen and i think this is the right move. he'll be the new closer once rivera retires.
This is what the baseball cable channels should show us when the major league teams arent playing...Instead they show us informercials and nonsense...They are making money from the cable subscribers and from the sponsers!
ah, calling somebody gay, the hallmark of any hyper-senstive yankee fan. no, i'm a fan of the lord of the rings books (you can read, right?) and the area code i lived in when i made the id.
he he he...that was pretty funny. sorry i love joba(no homo), i got to meet him and get his autograph.he's really cool and humble. but damn, that comeback was funny
It really doesn't matter how fat he is. His weight is what gives him the ability to throw in the upper ninties. His mechanics are almost flawless, and as long as he stretches and stays in somewhat good shape, he won't get an injury that will keep him out for a lengthy period of time. He's not going to "break down" There are plenty of pitchers that are a lot bigger than him. He may be husky, but by no circumstance is he fat
amazindan..just shut the fuck up. if joba was so fat like your makin him out to be, wouldnt he look like ortiz or C.C? he doesnt look like either of them. you just cant take the fact that your team doesnt have a guy like joba. also,the reason why he got picked late in the draft was NOT because he was overweight or whatever..it was due to him having a injury get your shit straight
joba isn't even fat, he used to weigh 50 pounds more in high school but worked it off and is now in great shape...more comparable to the likes of a Roger Clemens body than a David Wells body, are you kiddin me?
Do you morons even know baseball??? That is FALSE! The reason why the Yankees got the fat man is because scouts of teams were afraid of him because ha put on alot of weight in his last year in college and had arm trouble! Thats why the Yankees got him in a later round. He is still young but he continues to put on weight and its going to be a matter of time before this fat body breaks down!
u must know nothing about baseball, he put on a lot of weight in junior college first of all and had knee surgery before his junior year and lost the wieght, secondly he was drafted in the 1st round u so he wasnt drafted in a late round, and yea i forgot being 6'2 230 is considered fat ur retarted...u and all red sox fans are just pissed cause the red sox could have gotten him but their picks have shit the bed and that joba is a better pitcher then paplebon will ever be sucks for u
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Joba is a fat slob who will be out of baseball within 5 years! He is 21 and already a DISGUSTING FAT BODY! Just wait to this slob hits his mid 20's and really starts to let himself go! I think Jobas new career will be pie eating contests!
Hey Moron does Ortiz get paid to pitch?! No dope!!! Fat man Jaba gets paid to pitch and the more weight this slob puts on, the more ineffective he will be!
hey fag...... Does it really matter? 1 ER in 28 IP's and he owned Bostons ass last night and gave Youk what he fucking deserved. I wish he would have hit him in the skull.
your ignorance is ridiculous. he's fat? lol. your a fuckin idoit, he isnt that fat and manny and ortiz are fatter anyway. dont get jealous because he owns every team he plays ok? you stupid fuck. JOBA OWNS AND SO DO THE YANKEES!!!!!!!!!
Hey DUMBASS!!! Once again moron Ortiz and Manny are POWER HITTERS JERKOFF!! Fat man Joba gets paid to pitch and right now he is young and pitching good, but its just a matter of time before this fat bastard breaks down! Right now they have this slob pitching 1 inning....Just think if the Yanks make this PIG a starter and he has to pitch 5+ innings! LOL! Can you say HEART ATTACK!!!! Hey Joba keep eating those Twinkies! LMFAO
you dont like him cause he kills every team he faces. why do you keep riding on the fact that he is heavy? i dont get it. he still owns and always will. he is better than any rookie on the sox and always will be.
How do I know this............ u have a cyber trail as long as ur waistline. Spyboy found out alot about you, even where you live and your address. She wont tell the numerous amount of enemies you have, as long as you SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!!! oh yeah maybe I'll see you in Gettysburg
AMAZINDAN what the fuck is up. Well just to tell you what going on, your fucking lying ass got caught. You keep saying Joba needs a salad ur the fat fuck that needs a salad. What do weight 298lbs well at least when you had that stroke in you sleep back in Jan 07. You owning 3 resturants did you mean you ate 3 resturants. LOL. Hows your fantasy baseball team doing, whats it called MeetMrMeet. Also why the hell are so obsessed with UFO's?????
his delivery reminds me of clemens, and his stuff is a lot like brad lidge's, but with better control. He's going to be great, no matter what his role (starting or relieving) is.
JOBA CHAMBERLAIN LOOKS LIKE HE IS GONNA BE BETTER THAT CLEMENS! think about it Joba throws his fastball at 95+ like clemens did back in his prime but chamberlain has more unhittable stuff. he has a NASTY slider and a pretty good curve ball that he can fool you with. i cant wait for him to be the # 1 starter for the yankees in 08!
joba has a lot of good stuff but isnt clemens. clemens had 4 consistently good pitches and then when he got old, continued to learn pitches to keep going. joba has a lot of work to do. clemens is a great model for joba to aim for but u cant duplicate what roger has done.
He's got a nice mixture of pitches. Very difficult to hit when you don't know what coming and a guy who can reach the 100 mark! He just seems a little slow in his demeanor, his body language. Hope he develops and keep an eye out for signs of him giving away his fastball. The Babe use to tuck his tongue in cheek when he was going to throw a curve. His posture must always be the same for any' pitch.
the only reason papelbon is starting is because the sox dont have a closer. The yanks have mariano, we dont need another close, we need starting pitching. And joba is fuckin awesome.
stop talkin nonsense. he'll be a starter. i don't think the yanks will make the same mistake as the saux did with papelblown.
and he doesn't need the cutter and splitter. he already has a high 90's fb (with good control), unhittable slider, plus plus curve and a change-up in the making.
looks good. but doesn't look like Clemens, as a starter his fastball is mid 90's, Clemens threw high 90's with better location. I can't remember a Clemens curveball that well however. Clemens splitter was unhittable, Joba won't have that jind of a pitch, but he looks darn good.
I wonder whether he'll be an eventual rotation ace or the Yankees next superstar closer? I know he could do either. I'd personally rather see him in the rotation, but maybe it's a "papelbon" type case?
Can't wait till he gets his teeth knocked out in a NYC diner like that other blow-hard a few years ago!
