After the Yankees scored two runs off Fausto Carmona in the bottom of the second, the Indians struck back in a big way against a struggling Chien-Ming Wang. Wang gave up eight runs in the top of the third, and only recorded one out. Then, recent call-up Anthony Clagget proceeded to allow six more runs. The worst part, it's all on the pitchers; there were no errors.
The bright side is that the Yankees get to face Carl Pavano tomorrow.
I say send Wang down to the minors for a few weeks. You could see on the TV - he was high with his pitches most of the time.
ReplyDeleteI dread facing Pavano - it's always bad when you face a pitcher who's out to prove something.
See all those empty seats behind home plate? What a disgrace, a complete mis-reading of what a baseball stadium should be.
We couldn't beat Pavano, but we did get to their bullpen.
ReplyDeletea note on empty seats..
ReplyDeleteciti field has the same problem. their attendance is great, and citi field is a fantastic structure (it gets an automatic plus for not being shea) but the empty seats behind home plate can be $700?? thats way too much to see one game. poor designing, but more so poor timing i'd say.
oh, and all those runs were in the second inning i think, not the third? doesnt really matter, they count nonetheless.
