Cashman: "Assume that we’ll keep going down here"
Chien-Ming Wang gave the Yankees little bit of a scare tonight when he
took a sharp ground ball off his left calf in the fourth inning. Brian
Cashman left his seat behind home plate, the Yankees coaching and training
staff gathered around the mound and Wang threw a few warm-up pitches before
deciding he could stay in the game. Despite the scare, Wang did stay in the
game, getting the final out of the fourth and pitching two more scoreless
innings for a strong, six-inning rehab start with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Whether it was enough to immediately return to the big leagues, Cashman
wouldn't say, but indications are that one more minor league outing might
be in order.
“I think everybody should assume that we’ll keep going down here unless
we decide otherwise," Cashman said. "So if you want to look for an
assumption, that’s the way to go.”
There was plenty to like about Wang's outing. He struck out six, never
allowed an extra-base hit and never let a base runner get past second base.
He did walk three and his velocity was down -- he topped out at 93 instead
of 95 -- but on the whole, everyone from Cashman to Wang to pitching coach
Scott Aldred seemed happy.
“He got his work in and I don’t think he was challenged all that much,"
Cashman said. "I think he feels real good about the direction he’s heading,
and I was glad to be able to say that I do too... He’s definitely heading
in the right direction. He’s much better. He had great mound presence,
showed some great tempo. Threw strikes. I thought his slider was terrific.
He did a great job. I was concerned when he got hit by that line drive on
the meat of the calf. I know he took a pretty good shot there, but I was
able to talk to our staff in-game. I came out of the stands and we just
watched him inning-by-inning after that. As long as his mechanics were good
and it wasn’t going to affect him we were going to keep going with him.
He got his work in, which was great. Today was a good day.”
Wang was available to go up to 100 pitches today, but Cashman said he and
the coaching staff "called an audible" after that comebacker hit him in the
calf. Wang said he was "a little bit sore" and Cashman said after the game,
“I’m not worried about it now.”
"He responded well," Aldred said. "I didn’t see anything mechanically
after he got hit. He’ll be sore tomorrow, but he’ll be fine.”
If he wasn't hurt, why pull him after 82 pitches?
"We didn't have to get to a hundred, clearly," Cashman said.
"...It was more of an inning, game call after that. If you get to the
point where you think it’s time to pull the plug, pull the plug.”
Wang said he has happy with the location and movement of his sinker.
"More balance," he said was the physical difference between this start
and the three in New York.
“Everything was good," Wang said. "The body feels good.”
Wang showed an outstanding slider, and while both Aldred and Cashman raved
about the pitch, Cashman admitted that he didn't come here to see Wang's
slider. He came here to see if Wang had taken steps toward being a 19-game
winner again, and clearly he had.
“The urgency is to make sure we get Wang to where he needs to be, so
this whole episode becomes a distant memory and he can be taking the ball
every five days in New York and doing what he does best, which is running
out 200-plus innings and 18 wins a year," Cashman said. "The urgency is that
we do right by him, and if we do that, then he’ll do right by us.”
