Yankees never hopes any problems for them

In the universe of the Yankees, there are few theories as irrefutable as the one that pertains to Mariano Rivera: without the great closer, the entire Yankees golden era might’ve fizzled out after the 1996 World Series, according to the player in mariano rivera jersey.

As pennant races heat up, keep track of which team is leading each division. In the history of Rivera, it is nearly impossible for women to bear repeating. The player in lou gehrig jersey said that Rivera’s 0.74 ERA in the postseason is the lowest among pitchers with at least 40 innings. Besides that, Rivera has gone more than one inning to keep the Yankees breathing in October, which has been confirmed by the player in mike mussina jersey.

However, there is discussion about the 2010 postseason isn’t about Rivera’s Hall of Fame past, but about his present-day credentials and whether he’ll still have that shut-down quality when it counts, the player in nick swisher jersey said.

Wearing babe ruth jersey, pitching coach Dave Eiland speaks for the entire front office when he says, “Mariano is the least of my concerns” as the Yankees prepare for the rest of the regular season (today, vs. Red Sox, MLB on FOX, 4:10 p.m. ET) and the Division Series. And Rivera himself says, “I’m fine, my arm feels great.” The player in mark teixeira jersey said he will support the Yankees forever.

But there are subtle hints of how much harder Rivera has to work for his saves as a 40-year-old. The player in robinson canó jersey said although many of his peripheral statistics remain relatively static — walks per nine innings, HR ratio, opponents’ batting average — the American League has nevertheless taken advantage of Rivera’s periodic lapses, which is agreed by the player in don mattingly jersey.

His strikeout ratio, for example, has shrunk from nearly 10 per nine innings last year to just under seven. Therefore, the player in randy winn jersey said Rivera stranded 92 percent of the base runners he inherited a year ago. But this year it’s 82 percent.

The player in jorge posada jersey said Rivera’s current slump spans his last five outings, during which he’s blown two saves — half of his season total. While the player in derek jeter jersey said Rivera is struggling with opponents’ .368 on-base percentage and .478 slugging percentage against him. Then what will happen next?

Daniels who has great passions for johnny damon jersey said that the right-hander is the first to admit that he never knows as hard as he used to.改添加正文内容。
