hey GH, could we get your thoughts on the yankee/sox game?
I really dunno how anyone could be backing wang...he hasn't shown he can last 5 innings without blowing up this year yet...
Thx
Wang was given an extra day of rest and had an extra bullpen session and says he feels better and stronger. Yanks are just looking for 5 innings from him and have Hughes in the wings. Not sure how anyone can feel overly confident in Wakefield. In his last 7 starts, he has thrown 39 innings and allowed 51 hits, 29 earned runs and 19 walks. That's an ERA of 6.69 and a WHIP of 1.79. The Yanks have hit Wakefield well:
Jeter .313, 3 HR's
ARod .276, 7 HR's
Damon .317, 4 HR's
Cano .324, 3 HR's
Cabrera .455
In the past 3 years, Wake is 2-5 against the Yanks with a 6.67 ERA. In 55 1/3 innings, he has allowed 10 HR's and 91 baserunners for a WHIP of 1.64. Looks like a good spot for the Yanks.
