Why Kei Igawa is still a (Scranton) Yankee

River Ave. Blues — There’s no denying that one of Brian Cashman’s biggest mistakes has been the acquisition of Japanese lefty Kei Igawa. After getting blown out of the water on the bidding for Daisuke Matsuzaka by the Red Sox, Cashman and the rest of the brain trust turned to Igawa, who was coming off a five season stretch [...]Post from: River Ave. Blues A New York Yankees blogWhy Kei Igawa is still a (Scranton) Yankee

A few fundamentals, if you please

Sox Blog | Providence Journal — Is that too much to ask for from highly-paid, professional baseball players? Twice this month, Boston pitchers have looked like Little Leaguers handling bunts. Do I throw to third? Do I throw to first? Oops, too late. Everybody's safe. On July 5, it was Daisuke Matsuzaka, as the Sox blew a 5-1 lead over the Rays in Tampa Bay, losing 6-5. Sunday in Seattle, it was Hideki Okajima, who never made a throw on a routine sacrifice bunt when the Mariners had two runners on base. Two batters later, Okajima got in the way of first baseman Kevin Youkilis when both were ...

It's a vintage start by Matsuzaka, for better or worse.

Sox Blog | Providence Journal — As these things go, this outing - six innings, one run, season ERA down to 4.09 -- represented progress of sorts for Daisuke Matsuzaka. It was also a stark reminder of how maddening a Matsuzaka start can be. Pitching to the worst offense in the majors in one of the biggest and most forgiving pitcher's parks in baseball, Matsuzaka danced around the edges of the strike zone, failing to attack Seattle's hitters. He walked five in his six innings, and ran his pitch count up to 110 pitches. That pushed manager Terry Francona into bringing in Daniel Bard to start the seventh, then going to Okajima ...
