Does Eiland understand Wang’s best situation?
Maybe we need to call Ron Guidry back, he really understand Wang’s problem, and know how to fix it.

This is starting to sound a lot like last season. Girardi was always “It will turn around, it will get better” until it’s October & the Yankees are sitting home for the play-offs. I didn’t think he was the hire & he’s done nothing to change my opinion.

skip wang okay….let me get this straight…we skip him…we can’t play matsui everyday….ransom is an automatic out…gardner takes first strikes and gets himself in the hole and then hits a little dribbler….we have a left fielder who is actually a dh…. we cherish a farm system that almost everyone they bring up can’t contribute ie claggett or pitch a few good games and then fall on their faces …..hmmmm i must be missing something on the management of this team

Last thing: We have way too many guys hitting sub-Mendoza (not Ramiro). AOSBAPRBG (Automatic Out Should Be a Pinch Runner Bumtt Goatner) surprisingly isn’t, but he’s gotta go. AOCR at least is just placeholding for Double-Play-Rod. But we need a legit CF-er, and we need one yesterday.

The Tigers sent D. Willis to the DL due to “performance anxiety” or some BS like that. Wang needs the same treatment. And how is this Girardi’s call? Cashman needs to dictate this, it’s none of Girardi’s business.

Science time: “A little humidity will help keep balls in the park but not much they can do about it now except strike out the opposition or keep the ball on the ground.”

Actually, counter-intuitively, humid air is lighter than dry air. The ball travels better in humid air.

Also, today proved why we need Aceves on the roster. Given his previous two outings, at the first sign of danger – or after four runs through 1 1/3 – you have to bring in the long reliever. One big and totally undersung reason the championship Yankees were the championship Yankees was Ramiro Mendoza.

Of course he’s not hurt-he just sucks. I can’t wait until next weekend-it will be enjoyable watching the Sawx sweep your sorry asses.

Wang has always scared me because of his weak K:BB and well-below-average BABIP. If he wins 19 games again this year – heck, if he wins one – I’ll be thrilled. But I don’t think he’s so much lost his stuff as the league’s finally figured him out.

Or, maybe he’s got some kind of psychological or other sort of makeup problem. I mean, didn’t he admit to being lazy after his first start? Who does that in the first place. And who does that and then goes on to complete all of 2 1/3 innings in his next two starts?
