Joba Chamberlain not being used in high-leverage spots

September 7, 2012

New York Yankees – It was a rough night for the Yankees bullpen, which surrendered four 8th inning runs in a loss to the Orioles.  Boone Logan was among the relievers who were touched up, as he gave up a run without recording an out.  But the lefty has been getting a lot of late inning opportunities in recent weeks, while Joba Chamberlain has been pitching early in games, or in blowouts.  Hierarchy change: Boone Logan to 2nd in line, replacing Joba Chamberlain.
