Frank Russo joined me last night during the second half hour of the show. We remembered Dave Righetti’s no hitter back in 1983, but Frank also gave us some tidbits from his rumor mill bag. We start talking rumors at about the 45 minute mark.
- Cashman is not looking for offense. They ...
What to do with the fifth starter spot?
riveraveblues.com 7/6/2009 — Once Chien-Ming Wang left yesterday’s game in the sixth after pointing to his shoulder, this post was inevitable. The Yanks will have a few decisions to make in the next few days. They’ll need a spot starter this Thursday in Minnesota, ...
Hughes in Pen a Bullish Problem (Score One for Bad Puns!)
puristbleedspinstripes.com 6/27/2009 — Let me make something clear, before I get into the meat of this post: Long term, Phil Hughes is a starter. That's why the Yankees drafted him, and that's where he will end up long term. As it should be. In fact, right now, as Joe P. of River Ave Blues told me, Hughes is the Yanks' fourth-best ...
Looking at the Yankees on an Off Day
puristbleedspinstripes.com 6/29/2009 — The past two weeks have been not so much a Tale of Two Teams as it has a Tale of Two Offenses. Both weeks the Yankees pitched decently--certainly well enough that they could have won nearly every game they played--but in the first week of interleague, the team was undone by their offense. ...
A tale of two pitchers
riveraveblues.com 7/1/2009 — On April 26, 2007, the Yankees found themselves without a starting pitcher, and so a few months — or possibly a year — ahead of schedule, they handed the ball over to a 20-year-old right-hander named Phil Hughes . A few months later, on August 7, ...
What Is Girardi Doing?
yankeesredsox.com 6/29/2009 — As I write this it is 3-2 heading into the 7th. Normally, I would wait until after the game, but Girardi is managining this like he is drunk, so I felt inclined to post now. Question 1: Bottom of the fourth, two outs with a runner on third, 8th-place hitter up for the Mets. Don't ...
The Problem with Chien Ming Wang
puristbleedspinstripes.com 6/11/2009 — Let me explain the problem the Yankees' have with Chien Ming Wang in as simple terms as I can: 1). Chien Ming Wang is not pitching well after coming off the DL, which he went on ostensibly for a hip/foot thing, but more likely that he had an ERA of nearly 35. He has not made it out of the fifth ...
Despite Robbie Cano's Efforts, Yanks Beat Jays 6-5 In Extras
boogiedownbaseball.blogspot.com 7/4/2009 — Thank God the Yankees won that game. Had they not, I probably would have driven down to the Bronx and paid Robbie Cano a visit. That was probably the most boneheaded play ever. EVER! Why in the world would you but with a 3-0 count? I hope that Cano did that on his own because if he was given the ...
First Half Review: Starting Pitchers
riveraveblues.com 7/13/2009 — At 51-37, with the third best record in baseball, leading the Wild Card and just three games back in the AL East, the Yankees had a fine first half. Yet it was a tumultuous three months, wrought with streaks and injuries and strange trends, causing ...
Wang leaves with shoulder strain in sixth
lennysyankees.com 7/4/2009 — After serving up a two-run homer to Adam Lind in the sixth inning, Chien-Ming Wang left the game with what the Yankees announced as a right shoulder strain. He will undergo an MRI later today (via Tyler Kepner’s twitter ). Wang was only at 66 pitches when he left, and was looking a lot ...
Wang goes down with a shoulder strain
nyyankeesrumors.com 7/4/2009 —
Chien-Ming Wang left today’s game after 5.1 innings of work. He was pitching well up unil the 6th inning, where he gave up 3ER. The word on Wang is that he has a shoulder strain and that is definitely bad news. Any time you are dealing with your shoulder it’s a serious ...
