Wang needs a mechanic to fix problem

NOTEBOOK

NEW YORK -- Chien-Ming Wang knows what's wrong with him. But he hasn't
been able to fix it.

Wang yesterday walked four batters as he allowed five runs in 4 1/3 innings,
his sixth straight start without a win.

"He's in a little funk," manager Joe Girardi said. "He's going to get out
of it. We're going to get him out of it. I'm not concerned, but we've just
got to get it right."


Pitching coach Dave Eiland said Wang has the same mechanical problem
he had in last year's playoffs, when he was 0-2 with a 19.06 ERA.

Wang said more than anything, he is confused.

He has been "flying open" with his left shoulder as he starts toward
home plate, leading him to drop his right elbow and push the ball rather
than drive it down. That means no sink on his sinker and a loss of command.

"My work in the bullpen is good," he said, "but in the game, maybe I
try to overthrow."

Catcher Jorge Posada said Wang has been dropping his arm angle on his
slider and can't get back over the top when he goes back to the sinker.

"It's a mental thing," Eiland said. "He has to trust it. He has to trust
that delivery. He had two really good side (sessions) since his last start.
He warmed up very well. ... He knows what he needs to do. It's just
repetition and getting it back -- getting that muscle memory back."

In his past four starts, Wang has allowed 24 runs on 14 walks and 27 hits
in 23 2/3 innings. His ERA has gone from 2.90 to 4.57.

Wang insists he is totally healthy, and the Yankees say they have no
reason to believe he isn't.

"Everything's good," Wang said of his physical condition.
