Nova has no command, rotation starting to show cracks
April 15, 2011
Yankees 3 Texas 5
Nova had no command today, was pretty awful. Showing no signs of spring training he looked pretty flat out there today. The rotation is starting to show cracks now and Nova has to step up huge especially with Hughes struggling, Nova’s importance has been elevated. We need better outings now.
So Hughes was place on DL today with a dead arm and Colon was brought into the starting rotation. Also Lance Pendelton was brought up from triple A to fill Hughes spot. Not really sure how 15 days is suppoed to get his arm strength back. He had all of spring training to work on this and had no luck. Girardi knew in spring training these problems Hughes was having with velocity. I guess we will see what happens in 15 days. I think they should take Phil back to triple A after this DL stint and see if he can get his groove back. It should be interesting to see if Colon can get things going and return back to CY Young form.
Today six double plays to set a record.
Granderson goes yard
Is Texas this good? Garcia goes up tomorrow on the bump. Lets see what he has. This rotation has to start showing sihns of life. Either that or there will definitely be some mid season trades for some arms.
