For various reasons (WBC, faulty hips) a lot of the starting lineup is missing, but there’s still pitchers to watch. Hideki Matsui is starting to get his time in, and will probably play again tomorrow for his first back-to-back games this year.
Chien-Ming Wang – 3IP, 3H, 1R, 1HR, 0BB, 2K, 5GO, 2AO
Today marked Chien-Ming [...]

Yankees vs Braves (Spring Training Game – March 7th)
Pitching Lines From March 4th (Yankees at Braves)
Another Yankees game not on TV, which is too bad as I’ve yet to see Brackman or Melancon and would like to get a look at both.
Major Leaguers regulars starting for the Yankees were Johnny Damon, Xavier Nady and Jose Molina and for the Braves it was Kelly Johnson, Yunel Escobar, Casey Kotchman and [...]
Yankees vs Team USA – Spring Training Exhibition
Today’s matchup was interesting, because it gave the pitchers for the Yankees some looks at real upper level big league talent. Some of them fared better than others (which makes sense, as a few of them spent the whole year at AA).
Phil Hughes – 2.2IP, 3H, 2R, 0BB, 2K, 0HR, 3AO, 3GO
A good outing, throwing [...]
Today’s Pitching Lines
Today’s game wasn’t televised so I have no astute observations about how anyone looked outside of the pitching lines:
Chien-Ming Wang – 2.0IP, 2H, 0R, 0HR, 0BB, 0K, 2GO, 4AO
I really do not like that GO: AO ratio, but I’m not going to worry about it yet.
Brett Tomko – 2.0IP, 1H, 1R, 1HR, 1BB, 2K, 4GO, [...]
Spring Training – Yankees Versus Twins
My first game watching on an actual TV! It’s also Joba Chamberlain’s first start of the Spring. Here are my notes:
Joba is only going one inning today, Spring Training is long this year because of the World Baseball Classic so the starting five are probably going to get a break for a while. Minor League [...]
Baseball is Here!
Kerry Wood has an injury of some sort.
Delmon Young swung at the first pitch he saw this year.
Derek Jeter grounded out to second in his first at bat.
Jose Veras hit a batter and walked the bases loaded.
Baseball is back!
Spring Training Is Finally Here!
Pitchers and catchers (and whoever else felt like showing up) reported for the Yankees officially today and that means pictures where we get to boggle at how different people look from last season. Here’s the first of the year.
Joey Gathright is Quite an Athlete
Last night, Joey Gathright jumped over Hiroki Kuroda to get a base hit. Did you know he also jumps over cars?
Measuring Spring Training Success
Spring Training is a time for experimentation, most notably for pitchers. Mike Mussina is pitching inside, Chien-Ming Wang is dusting off his secondary pitches, etc. They’re also shaking the dust off their arms. What this means is that you can’t expect them to look super amazing. That doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t worry if someone [...]
