about Chien-Ming Wang:6-0

2008賽季開始迄今,阿民目前以六連勝的佳績成為洋基頭牌先發。不過我總覺得,新官上任的總教練「急拉地」其實有參考老闆的心態把阿民當任勞任怨的亞洲勞工使用──因為阿民每次上場,投球數往往要超越前一場,令人懷疑是不是有新規定阿民先發沒超過一百球就不能換中繼投手?

"I just keep the game close and give my team a chance to win," Wang said.

Since Wang made his last start, on Sunday at Cleveland, no Yankees pitcher had been able to go at least six innings while allowing three runs or fewer. But the game did not progress without a scare: Wang drew attention with one out in the fifth inning for a potential problem on his pitching hand, calling Molina out to the mound.


"I was able to grip the ball, but it wasn't that comfortable for me to release the ball," Wang said.


The Yankees determined that Wang had suffered a cramp in the meat of his pitching hand, which he eased by receiving some light hand treatment. He believed that it was due to the cold weather, and with New York leading, 3-1,

Wang was lifted after completing the sixth inning at 90 pitches.

Chien-Ming Wang leads Yankees to 1-0 win over Indians

"I threw the most sliders and changeups I ever have," Wang said. "It felt very good in the bullpen and I wanted to do that because I know Cleveland was waiting for the sinker."

The results were noticeable, as Wang struck out nine, the second-highest total of his career. He whiffed 10 Mets in a game last June 17 at Yankee Stadium.

Wang and Sabathia matched up for the first time since Game 1 of last October's AL division series, a night the Tribe scorched the Yankee ace for eight runs over 4-2/3 innings. Sunday, the Indians struggled to get anyone on base.

"Today was different than the playoffs," Wang said. "Last year, I threw a lot of sinkers and didn't change speed. Today, I changed speed."

"He didn't have his great stuff tonight, and he found a way to keep them in check and keep us in the ballgame and get a win," Girardi said. "He was not as sharp -- very seldom do you ever see Chien-Ming Wang at approximately 50 pitches after two innings. But he found a way, battled, gave us six innings and did a nice job."

Wang scattered three runs on 10 hits, walking two and striking out five over 105 pitches, before turning the ball over to the bullpen for the seventh. Wang said that his slider was spotty, so he was forced to go to his changeup and splitter more, offsetting his hard, heavy sinker.

"I figured out how to finish the game," Wang said. "I changed a lot of speeds today."
