if anyone watched the yankee game against the Indians today we saw Joba Chamberlain pitch the 8th inning. now he recorded the first to outs and ironically to get through the inning he wud hav to face David Dellucci. dellucci two days prior had hit a 3 run home run off joba to ultimitly give the indians the victory.
however today joba struck out dellucci and then proceeded to make a crazy fist pump and a spin around move and scream at the top of his lungs! seriously now what the hell is this, that is so immature! in a 6-3 ball game with 2 outs in the 8th inning joba gets a strike out and celebrates like it was a strike out of babe ruth in game 7 of the world series! he needs to grow up and walk off the mound just like any pitcher would, dont get me wrong he has electric stuff but this whole celebration thing has to stop, its immaturity at its best. i cant stand this i think its ridicoulous and hes showing up the hitters he strikes out.
nd what makes it worse is he did it to a hitter who hit a 3 run blast off him to give him his 2nd loss of the season. i watching mike and the mad dog and they both think this is a problem as well, what do u guys think??

SInce I doubt you are Yankee fans let me fill you in on some knowledge before you go Joba bashing. When Chien Mien Wang beat CC Sabathia 1-0 CC did the same thing. Jeter had a lead off double and CC didnt allow the run to score and gave a very similar pump. CC was last years CY YOUNG and is a veteran so lets not say Joba is immature. Baseball is full of emotions and so is Joba, When he does this it is the furthest thing from trying to show people up. Its peoples exitement succeeding under pressure. Yankee haters love to nit pick every possible thing they can. JOBA RULES.

K-Rod does this after every out and it's not a big deal but all of sudden a Yankees player pump his fist after redeeming himself for a bad pitch a few night earlier and he's immature. Come on...

Yeah like Goat said, I doubt you're a Yankee fan so of course you don't like it. He was in front of his home crowd, so I'm sure they had a lot to do with it. When there's two strikes, the crowd gets up and starts to cheer for their pitcher, so it's not like he was the only one celebrating.
Mike and the Mad dog are critical about everyone, and they are so boring so they needed a topic that they know will get a reaction from the fans.
As far as him doing it after he struck out Dellucci, he celebrated all the time last year back when he was untouchable. He's an emotional guy, who feeds off the crowd. Dellucci was also the second guy to hit a home run off him, so striking him out was a great confidence booster.
Celebrations are a part of all sports. Football, basketball, hockey, tennis, lacrosse, and baseball players all celebrate. Football players dance after touchdowns or after they make a big tackle. Basketball players celebrate when they get fouled in an and one situation and after they hit big shots. Lacrosse and hockey players celebrate after goals. Tennis players throw their rackets in the air or whatever after they win. Baseball players celebrate after strikeouts and home runs. If celebrating with the fans helps his confidence, then I don't care what he does.

As a Yankee fan, I would like to see him tone it down a bit. Let's face it, emotion takes over sometimes and the big guy is prone to that. Based on the individual situation, no one on , 2 outs, 3 run lead, it was much. I now Joba has some demons with the Tribe but just a touch less wouldn't hurt.

What i noticed, since they had told Joba to cool it, he started giving up hits. This is his "Roar", If i was in the Yankee Club house, i would tell him keep doing it, F everyone.
And besides, The Yankees have been Monotone for a while now, Bring out the Zoo.

Since you probably have a crush on Jonathan Papelbon it makes you mad that someone else acts with emotion on the mound. He is young and will learn just like Beckett did with the Marlins to reign it in so that he has more left in the tank for the stretch. As long as he is in the pen he can afford to use up a little excess energy. At least our guy does not riverdance.
GO YANKS!!!

That's ridiculous! He wasn't "showing up" Dellucci. He was just celebrating. Just about every relief pitcher (except for Mo) does that. Relievers get themselves so hyped up because they only have to pitch an inning so they throw thier best stuff every time. I can imagine that that takes alot of emotional channeling.
Now I would have a problem if he was pointing at Delluccia or the Indians bench and celebrating, but he wasn't.

I find it much more annoying, ridiculous, and immature when Manny Ramirez hits a homerun and then admires it for 5 minutes before he starts to run. Thats trying to show someone up, not giving a fist pump thats pure emotion.

Listen, the guy is just showing emotion. Did people get upset when Jordan did his fist pump, pudge celebrated his homerun vs the Reds, or Gibson pumped his fists rounding the bases vs the A's? These guys are just showing emotion on the field. It's nice to see that there are some guys that actually care. On the other hand, there are guys like Chad Johnson and Terrel Owens that do show up opposing teams with their ridiculous dances and Sharpie ball signings. I think we're talking about two different things.

How can you be a Yankee fan and be against the fist pump? You dont get a little juiced up when he goes crazy out there? No goose bumps? No Nothin? I love it. Jobas the man.
You guys let Mike and the Mad Dog get in your head too much. That show sucks so don;t listen to them. One is a dork San Francisco Gianst fan and the fat one flip flops from Yankee love to Yankee bashing in an instant.

Colts : Joba shouldn't let bugs hamper his performance ? I wonder how the great Sandy Koufax would've handled the massive swarm of bugs like that. That game should've been dalayed for that very reason. Nobody should've been subjected to that. Yes, as a fan of the Yankees into my 41st year, Joba could chill a little. He's a kid with lots of fire and talent. He will grow and learn. I'm glad he's a Yankee !!!!!!!
