May 16th @ The Mariners
Anytime you leave 23 runners on base in a game and still win, you know the baseball gods are smiling on you.
And, the funny thing is: One of the heroes of this game, Bernie Big Slam Williams left 6 runners on himself.
Think someday we’ll say “That Wright signing was a good thing - it allowed us to discover Wang. Had the Yankees signed an able-bodied pitcher, poor Wang would have been stuck in Columbus all year in 2005″?
I missed the 9th inning last night. But, per the boxscore, Mo looked shaky - a walk, a hit, and almost half of his pitches were balls. Something to keep an eye on……maybe?
Yankees are now 6 back in the loss column. Can’t wait until that gets closer to three.

Chien Ming-Wang? The Taiwanese Tom Candiotti?
I was impressed with his 94mph heat at pitch #100.
I swear I did not read George King in the Post until after the above post.
Okay, two things. Wang only threw 87 pitches, and the Yankees “only” left 13 men on base. You can’t add individual player’s LOB totals, because then you’re counting a single runner multiple times. There is a “Team LOB” total listed in every box score. Last night it was Yanks: 13 (13H+7BB-1CS-6R=13LOB).
Third thing: I’m already saying that about Wright. Sort of. I would prefer Lieber or Clement in the rotation and Wang replacing Brown.
Jason - do you have a link for that Post piece?
Cliff - you’re right - I should have referenced H in AB with runners on. That was what I meant - and, it paints it better. Good catch. Thanks.
My mistake, there, Cliffie!!
