Yankees' Star Sucks. . .

[Primetime]

I think they should spend another $100 Million to try to fix things. The New York Post has a headline calling them the New York Stinkees. rofl

 

[Chrispy]

its not the whole yankee team, its wang, he has a 30 era in his last 2 starts

I always laugh at how the Yankees Pitchers perform each year despite their stacked lineup. They will never win another World Series for a while because it wont be just Wang who is doing terrible.

 

[kmanharris]

Anybody been watching the Yankees? Probably not since I don't either unless it is a blowout by the other team. Has anybody seen Chien-Ming Wang pitch? His current ERA is 34.50.

Does anybody think he might get put down to the minors? Or is that too soon?

I hope they move him down to the minors. It is pretty clear he needs to get things worked out.

Haha, yeah I saw that.

I knew this was going to happen. Now I just laugh at the Yankees.

You knew Wang, who was 8-2 last year before getting hurt, would come back this year and have a 34.50 era in 3 starts? I doubt it.

A lot of people are blaming the reason for them sucking because of the new stadium. BS.

Where did you hear that?

The Yankees never have a stacked pitching lineup. That is almost always the weak point of the Yankees.

 

[Primetime]

I dont see that one coming. He has to work all season to bring that ERA down.

Hence the :jonesy:

 

[Primetime]

No, I knew the Yankees would get raped early in the season, and this will lead to another early exit in the playoffs.

IF they get there.

The good thing about losing 22-4 is that it only counts as ONE loss.

The Yankees are 6-6 right now after yesterdays debacle. The Red Sox are 5-6 and Tampa is 5-7 yet I don't see or hear anyone talking about how "bad" they are doing.

 

[Primetime]

The Yankees will always get more shit because they spent $400 Billion this offseason. Not something anyone should be surprised about.

Exactly. I'm pretty sure that the Yankees expectations weren't to be 12-0 at this point. Obviously they weren't to be at 6-6, but they're in front of the Sox and Rays right now, so it's not all bad. And that's from a Sox fan.

Wang does need to be sent to AAA, just for a start or two.

 

[spidey12293]

im still happy we're 6-6. 3 out of those losses are when wang decided to give up 70 runs a game

 

[Yawkey Way]

your 12 games into the season, its april, pitchers are still trying to get into a groove. Its not like they've played every day like the line-up. Pitchers have only had 2-3 starts. Never get too worked up unti; June.

 

[Pills]

It's him. 7-6, 3 of the losses have been blowouts, and all were Wang.

Wang's problem is that if he keeps the ball up, he's easily hittable. If not, he's not hittable at all. It's a very fine line on which he's on the wrong side of.

Yanks lost their first series, won their next two, and tied this one. While I'd've liked them to have 2 more wins at this point, it's nothing to worry about.

Personally, I think Wang gets one more start (and, given that they're off Thursday AND playing in Boston this weekend, I wouldn't be surprised if he gets skipped this time through), and then Hughes comes up.

 

[kmanharris]

IMO I don't think the Yankees will win anything until they stop spending like crazy in the off season. Call me crazy but maybe there is something to that whole team chemistry thing.

baseball is pretty much an individual sport. IMO there isn't much team chemistry needed.

 

[kmanharris]

No it is pretty much a team game because the players form a team but that is it. You don't have to like anybody to go out there and do your job and it won't affect anyone else. Just because your a dick in the locker room isn't going to make a player go up to bat and think of how much he hates you instead of thinking about getting a hit.

Not true, look what Manny did to the Red Sox last year. He was pretty much tearing the club house apart. If he stayed and continued to be a distraction I do not think the Red Sox would of made the playoffs.

 

[kmanharris]

I didn't say them not doing their job wouldn't affect the team. I said them being a distraction in the locker room wouldn't bother the team because they wouldn't think about it when they went up to bat or when they were making a throw to first base.

Football is a team game because one person can't do everything themselves. The only time you need anything of a "team" is pitcher to catcher or when making a throw but any team can do that without team chemistry.

Manny was lackadaisical while doing his job. It never seemed like he went 100%. Yes he was a distraction off the field but did his actions off the field affect his teammates during the game?

Yes it did distract other players, every interview all the questions would be about Manny. He would get into fights in the club house, dugout, and pretty much lied about a knee injury.

The new Yankee stadium is playing like a bandbox...20HR's in 6 games there (I think that's the stat)...that's CRAZY.

It's really nuts, isn't it? I was watching that 22-4 game and every fly ball the Indians hit to RF just carried out. This stadium is only across the street from the old one, what could be making it play so differently? It's even configured facing the same direction as old Yankee Stadium. Weird.
