Comments on: What’s up with Wang? http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2007/08/19/whats-up-with-wang/ A Yankees Blog by Journal News beat writer Peter Abraham Thu, 4 Dec 2008 02:10:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Daniel http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2007/08/19/whats-up-with-wang/#comment-115789 Daniel Fri, 24 Aug 2007 05:22:55 +0000 http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2007/08/19/whats-up-with-wang/#comment-115789 It is relieving to see there are so many people that support Wang. Hopefully he can get back his confidence and concentration and enjoy the game. I mean, watching him throw spotlessly is great, but sometimes it is even more exciting to see him solve the problems that may rise during the game. And along with the wonderful defense of the team. I have read the Pete's book (in chinese). It's awesome! It says so much about baseball in Taiwan and historical competitions by Chinese Taipei in international tournaments like the Olympics that even I as a taiwanese didn't know. And I treasure much more the details about Wang in the minor leagues and up to Yankees. I am new to MLB and the book helped me a lot getting acquainted with names and concepts. Thanks, Pete!

Even with Taiwan media he doesn't say much. His high school/college coaches all say that he is very smart but sometimes over-analyze the situation instead of just pitch. He just needs to trust his stuff and stop doubting himself. Wang is actually a very shy person. Even with Taiwan media he doesn’t say much.

I thought yesterday showed that he's good enough to win even if he's not pitching terribly well. I also think the "problem" with Wang is being overblown. He's really only had two BAD outings, and yesterday certainly was not one of them. It also appears he's been seriously unlucky in terms of BABIP (.400 over the last 5 starts). This could ultimately prove to be a good experience in terms of Wang's continued maturation as a pitcher. He got beat up badly in Toronto, probably had his confidence shaken, probably got down on himself because he's trying to live up to the "ace" label, yet was able to pull out of it and bounce back with a quality start yesterday.

I have seen the sign of wang's mentally of taking pressure better and better. Granderson, Ichiro on bases ? Forget about them, Wang, get rid off the hitter first...go wang...

His sinker was up in the zone too much yesterday. Hopefully he can make some mechanical tweaks and get back in the groove. This guy, even when struggling, still knows how to win. Pete, any word on when your book will be published over here? (hopefully in English :) ).
