Yankees.com: Garcia ousted early as rallying Yanks fall
NEW YORK—Freddy Garcia is long removed from blowing fastballs by hitters, but he found a second life as a soft-tosser who hit the corners exceptionally. Those days, too, seem to be fading further and further into the rear-view mirror.
Loud boos showered the veteran as he was sent to a second-inning exit on Saturday, and Garcia may have pitched himself out of New York’s rotation with his latest clunker, hit hard for six runs as the Tigers defeated the Yankees, 7-5, at Yankee Stadium.
We can now complete SG’s trend line for Freddy:
April 10: 4.2 IP, 4 R
April 16: 5.2 IP, 5 R
April 21: 1.2 IP, 5 R
April 28: 1.2 IP, 6 R

Townies pitching getting better, ours not exactly.
Phelps would seem to line up to pitch for Garcia in his next start. Or DJ Mitchell.
Kind sir, I thank you for your service. Now GTFO
David Phelps for Hughes.
And I’d pitch Ken Phelps for Garcia right now.
His head really isn’t the problem, as far as I can tell.
Bring us the labrum of Freddy Garcia.
DJ Mitchell getting the call
Ah, the hoped for ABF. Dingy brownish-yellow light a little ways down the tunnel…
Is 1.2 IP a stable plateau that he can sustain ? Or will he test a new bottom ?
Hopefully the Garcia era is unmercifully over soon.
Freddy Garcia bought me a beer once. I can’t hate the guy. That said, I hope he finds success with his next team.
Phelps and Mitchell, what the hell. Can’t be worse than what they’re getting out of the 4 & 5 spots now.
