Chien Ming Wang had what has to be considered his best outing of the year yesterday. He pitched 3 scoreless innings, his stuff was sharp, he kept his 2 seamer down and threw plenty of strikes (28/42 66%). Ground ball-flyball ratio was 4-1, that’s vintage Wang right there. Wang himself said it was the best [...]
It was a strange game for Phil Hughes, as he was throwing plenty of strikes and gave up just a few hard hit balls, yet only lasted 5 innings while allowing 4 runs. The results were not great, but the process was fine, and on most days, Phil probably goes 6 and allows just 3 [...]
Not sure if anyone heard this, but 1050 ESPN radio’s Andrew Marchand had some interesting stuff on Chien Ming Wang today. Here’s the podcast:
He said that the Yanks told Wang NOT to exercise his legs as usual this off season, due to the Lisfranc fracture. Makes sense, they don’t have much experience with [...]
-Wang’s appearance last night was somewhat mixed, but we saw some hopeful signs. His 2-seamer had a nice sink to it and his velocity was good at 92-94 MPH. But his control was horrendous. He was all over the place for the first few batters, then settled in [...]
Chien-Ming Wang was expected to start for SWB tonight, as the Yankees were hoping to see his improved sinker manifest itself in a game after he had displayed it in a bullpen session before team officials. However, with Joba Chamberlain bruising his knee and the bullpen going 8.2 innings last night, those plans have changed. [...]
From Sam Borden we get a cornucopia of news about the Yankees roster:
1) Brian Bruney will return tomorrow for the start of the Yankees series with the Orioles. I think that although Edwar, Aceves, and Albie have options, Jose Veras will be DFA’d. The Yankees have thrown him into important spots with regularity [...]
-Can we please stop with the ‘Cervelli was hitting .190 in AA’ stuff? It was 16 games and he’s a career .271 hitter in the minors. No sportswriter worth his salt would quote a batting average seriously until May 1st and/or 100 ABs, yet they keep repeating Cervelli’s after 52 ABs.
-CC looks great, [...]
Two bits of positive news on rehabbing Yankees:
1) Chien Ming Wang will start on tuesday at AAA Scranton and could regain his rotation spot if that start goes well. He is cleared for 100 pitches. With Phil Hughes battling inconsistency and himself, the Yankees could really use Wang’s ability to give the club [...]
Baseball Intellect took a look at Chien-Ming Wang’s messed up mechanics yesterday. Wang is slumping his back as he pitches, causing a series of problems. The bottom line?
So my advice for Wang? First correct the posture problem by going back to a more upright position. Second, he needs to increase the tempo of [...]
This from Tim McCarver, via the NY Post:
“The rivalry has changed because I think the pitching has changed,” McCarver said. “You don’t have them standing toe-to-toe slugging it out anymore. The Red Sox have a deep rotation and the Yankees were right with them, but with [Chien-Ming] Wang’s three horrendous starts that has [...]
