Yanks Lose
Phil Hughes has to stop giving up homers to bad players, and the O has to keep grinding for 9 innings. Gotta win tomorrow. Go Yanks.

That loss was a punch in the gut.
He has to stop giving up homers to scrubs.
He has trouble putting away LH batters. I think pitch sequencing is a problem, and he needs the change against them as well.
Is Gary Sanchez hurt?
He hurt his wrist a couple of weeks ago.
watch him be cleared to play after the deadline.
Thanks.

Heard this: With two trades in the books today, the Yankees are working on another -- presumably somebody who can play 3B. #trades
He's a two-pitch pitcher: fastball, cutter. His curve is inconsistent and his change is nonexistent. If he's going to develop into what we all know he's capable of being, he's going to have to start using his entire arsenal.
I don't understand how Eiland doesn't take some heat for Hughes and Joba not being all that they should be.
He, along with the rest of the pitching coaches in the minors, need to be taking some major heat. To review...
1.) Chien-Ming Wang -- Good pitcher, with just one pitch, an insanely good sinker. Could have been one of the top 10 pitchers in the major had he developed his slider. Yankees botched his rehab, he's due back for the Nats MAYBE in August.
2.) Joba Chamberlain -- Nothing to be said. He's had quite a "development." And not in a good way.
3.) Philip Hughes -- Two-pitch pitcher that can't get his curve or change down.
I'm willing to give this crew one more chance with the Twin Towers. If Betances and/or Brackman fizzle out, I want heads to roll.
I will be behind the Yanks dugout tomorrow night (now tonight here). I will root on the troops, aggravate some Rays fans, and see AROD hit # 600. We need Javy to pitch well and we need to hit Garza. Good trades today will help us for the stretch run.
Neil Allen taught Wang the sinker. He was with TB's system. I'm not sure if he still is.
Allen is currently the pitching coach for the Charlotte Stone Crabs, Tampa Bay's Single-A affiliate.
Yeah, they really needed to keep him while Wang was here.
If the Astros are able to develop Melancon it will be a decent indication that the Yankees suck at development.
I used to think Oppenheimer was the problem (good not great).
I now think that it may be the development people.
