I was waiting for this "Wang wont have any success because he is not a strikeout pitcher" bull.................
Even strikeout pitchers have bad innings, Wang has been great for the entire year and his ERA shows it.
Yeah but Klu he was due to regress to the median in terms of his BABIP. It's not that he won't have any success without strikeouts but bad outings like this are going to be magnified when his sinker isn't working because he doesn't have an out pitch and he has little control over balls in play.
CptCrunch
08-13-06, 12:33 PM
I fully realize that, despite what uber Sabremetric geeks want to profess, the pitches cannot be that easily be catagorized and Wang's sinker is definitely special. I'm also handicapped by the fact that I'm listening to Sterling so don't have a clue what Wang looks like today....

Weaver is extremely deliberate
Sterling just said the exact opposite...
Then what the hell am I talking about?:D
I tend to agree with you about the rest thing. In this stretch, I never liked the idea of moving around the rotation. Why not allow your guys to all get the extra day, instead of continuing to work the key starters hard and messing with the comfort level of the back end guys.

A decent comparison might be Erickson before he got hurt. He was anywhere from a good to excellent pitcher. I think Wang is going to be anywhere from an excellent 3 to a darn good 2.

Funny thing is, he threw only one less pitch than Wang that inning.
DiMaggio5CF
08-13-06, 12:38 PM
Jeez, A-Rod. I could understand if you chased fastballs at the letters or breaking balls in the dirt. But how do you miss a straight fastball right down the middle on the 3-2 count all the time? What the hell else are you looking for?

I think he pitches like he has a great gameplan and never go's away from it. If he misses the outside corner, its either well away or in the dirt.
Considering that we'll probably struggle against him..he is gonna be fun to watch.

We will win this game. So we are facing a good pitcher? That should not stop us.
Yet we didnt come close to touching him....he just had some issues finding the strike zone. But when he did, we had no chance.
Good stuff and unorthodox delivery is going to get him a lot of early outs. More pitches they see, better looks they'll have in a few innings. I really don't think the Yanks are going to struggle to put up a few today. Could be wrong, but this just FEELS like a 7-5 type of game.

Btw, I would like to say that I officially hate the Angels more then any team in baseball.
I hate the Sox too of course, but at least when we play them I have confidence that we will beat them.
I'm so sick and tired of us playing like crap against the Angels, watching their scrubs kill us, seeing them catch every god damn break against us. Just look at that 1st inning...how many hard hit balls?? 1 or 2?? And they get 3 freaking runs.

A-Rod K's with a runner on 2B after being up 3-0. Shocking. Really shocking.
And if he hit it out, it would be A-Rod with the homer in the first, watch him k in a big spot later in the game. A-Rod's defense is a problem right now, his offense isn't.

Nasty 3-2 pitch to Abreu. The 3-1 pitch to Alex was a good one...not necessarily due to location, but due to change of speeds.
Those two pitches changed the whole inning around.

And the bullpen takes a collective sign of relief.
He pitched against them in the postseason last year.I stand corrected. Someone (I think on YES) mentioned that "they had never faced Wang before," evidently looking at in-season matchups only, and I took it at face value.

Looks like Wang has settled down and found his groove. Being a sinkerball pitcher, it's actually a little surprising that he doesn't struggle more often in the 1st inning.
There's the Wang we all know and love.
well that's one way to take your mind off the game....;)

Um, no. If he hit a homer in that situation, it would have been big. But he didn't. Just face it -- he's not good in pressure spots. And he made an error in the first inning. Can you tell I'm really sour on the guy right now?

Good inning by Wang. Hopefully he has settled down. Wang (and our pitching in general) cant allow another run the rest of the game if we want any chance at winning this game.
Scoring 4 runs will be hard enough.

Lol how is that a pressure situation? It seems that it really is a case of shifting goal posts with A-Rod. Whenever he makes out it's a big situation, whenever he doesn't it isn't. Rip for his defense fine, I'm his biggest fan, and I'm fed up with his defense right now, but people go way overboard on his offensive "troubles".

Rip for his defense fine, I'm his biggest fan, and I'm fed up with his defense right now, but people go way overboard on his offensive "troubles".
He is the second worst in MLB with a runner on third and less than 2 out (less than 40% of the runner score). His numbers close and late suck. He is a very talented hitter, but he gets in his own way. And I do think that was a pressure spot in the first inning in light of the 3-run deficit.

Jorge is a professional out maker. 0 for 22??!
jimmykey2
08-13-06, 12:51 PM
Jeez Jor-hay... I think I'm feeling the need for a drink too.
Holy sheep dip, Cleveland 11, KC 0, still bottom 1st.
All KC needs is an appearance from carmona
And Jorge is now 0 for his last 22 ... and Jered has struck out every Yankee he's gotten out! :eek:
Yankees13
08-13-06, 12:51 PM
He is the second worst in MLB with a runner on third and less than 2 out (less than 40% of the runner score). His numbers close and late suck. He is a very talented hitter, but he gets in his own way. And I do think that was a pressure spot in the first inning in light of the 3-run deficit.
And I can counter by saying his RISP/2 out numbers are the best on the team. Again I don't see somehow who has a 900 OPS or thereabouts is a problem on offense, and contrary to popular belief he does get big hits.

Thats what happens when you show you arent afraid to throw offspeed pitches in hitters counts. You can sneak a fastball by someone in that situation.
Weaver has us totally off balance.
Will Jorge ever get another hit again?
fredgmuggs
08-13-06, 12:51 PM
Don't run.....Weaver doesn't give up many groundballs either. All the outs have been K's so far... so yeah

Explicative laden post.
By the way, I seem to recall that before the game someone said Weaver had never induced a ground ball GIDP? So the Yankees had the luck to be the first.
Kluivert4Ever
08-13-06, 12:53 PM
42 pitches for Weaver, at this rate he will only last 5.
Rare attempt to pull the outside pitch for Robbie....Weaver very effective, but already over 40 pitches....keep working him, and when he hits an inning where he gets into trouble the Yanks will either score their runs or run that count through the roof and into the middle pen.
CoyoteYankee

It seems that all of those runs in the KC/Cleveland game have confused and frozen Gameday.

The RISP/2 out numbers don't take into account the situation or the score. Enough already. We won't agree. But at least we agree that he is losing games for us with his putrid defense.

If Weaver goes only 5....then they just need to get thru the 6th and they will probably win. Shields can go 2 (and we never hit him) and then KRod for the 9th.

The Yanks historically can't hit their pen. They need to get a couple on the board against Weaver.

The ball was hit to his glove side, he leaned over to make the play and he dropped the ball that bounced into his glove.
It's pretty safe to say that any 3rd baseman in the league (including bar league softball and little league) makes the play.
