1. Strikeout pitchers, especially younger pitchers with command issues, like Joba, Hughes, Bruney, Robertson (who seems to go 2-2 or 3-2 on everyone before he gets them). Also Burnett had serious command issues earlier. Yanks lead the league in pitcher’s K’s, and are also 3rd in walks allowed.

2. The ballpark. More pitches to avoid contact altogether.

3. Pitchcalling; for example, calling for more offspeed pitches, which are usually harder to command. Possibly due to #2 above.

4. Chien-Ming Wang’s collapse to ineffectiveness. If he had been right this season, the team average would be measurably lower.

Corrections? For the young pitchers, let them mature. That’s all you can do, besides culling out the ones you don’t think can make it, and fobbing them off on someone else before their trade value is gone altogether.

Wang? Hope he heals. However, the odds are now very low he’ll ever be back to what he was.

Pitchcalling? I dunno; Jorge’s a proud dude. But you might have to take away pitchcalling from him and give it to the bench, or the pitchers. Or just phase him more to DH next year.

The ballpark….ah, now this we have covered before. They were probably going to do something about this for next year anyway.

I’d be curious to know if there’s a home/road disparity on P/IP for guys like Joba and Pettitte who are getting rocked at home all the time.

feels like joba throws even more pitches then that
