Wang was not perfect
Offense destroys laptop thief
Another win for Yanks
Offense destroys laptop thief
Another win for Yanks
The Yankees beat down the BoSox last night, but I was unable to watch until the last inning due to a soccer game. Wang got hammered, saying after the game that his sinker was moving too much preventing him from throwing it for strikes. This forced him to rely on his other pitches which, obviously, aren't nearly as good. They work well as complementary pitches, but not as the focus of his arsenal.
On the offensive side of things, the bats really came alive. They hammered Clay Buchholz, a juvenile delinquent in the offseason, for 8 hits and 7 runs in 3.2 innings, and finished the night with 15 runs and 16 hits. Abreu and A-Rod both went deep, and everyone else had at least one hit. Chad Moeller (!) reached base 4 of the 5 times he came to plate, something that is nearly unbelievable. If he does nothing else in his Yankee career, his night tonight was valuable.
So, as it turns out, the sky did not fall and the Yanks are now tied for first. It's Moose/Beckett tonight, so it could be another long one.
