Never stop running out of excuses for Hughes or Joba if the do badly and can’t exile Wang to the bullpen quick enough. Seems like Wang’s getting the Melky treatment of 2 years past.' SOOOOOO True. From yesterdays Game thread: "If I am giving the ball to someone on Tuesday, it is Phil Hughes." Like RAB would consider anyone else...lol. Still I think Mr. wang days are numbered if he keeps this up, but I'm glad to see that the Yankees not giving up on him. The same way they didn't give up on certain young pitchers who struggle last season. “BklynJT says:

That would be arm strength, not just the ability to stand up straight. He loses velocity after 30 or 40 pitches it seems. And then control comes with arm strength. What's his longest outing this year, major or minor league--70 pitches or so? Well, I did say “strength and control.”
