so-cal dub Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Someday Wang is gonna throw a no hitter? I mean his groundball ratio is nasty. If he could just avoid those random implode innings, I think he has a better shot than anyone at a no-no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Currency Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 He's the last guy that I'd pick to pitch a no-hitters... He can't strike people out, he puts the ball in play, reducing his chances. The more balls put in play, the higher the chance of others getting a hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plow Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 he could, doesn't walk much, so he keeps his pitch count low. Teams dont get good hacks on him. It's possible. Just needs some luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more balls put in play, the higher the chance of others getting a hit. Especially on the ground. He may have no hit stuff but his type of pitching usually results in balls that could find holes.

Could. He's brought a no-no as far as the 5th (I believe) before. His problem is, he usually has an implode inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ditto Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 I don't know what it is with Yankee pitchers, Wang and Wright in particular, who tend to throw more fastballs when they reach high pitch counts just when their breaking stuff would tend to break more.

If he finds the ability to throw a heater up and in that can really jam hitters, then it is a much greater possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When your pitch count gets high, you are tired, and your breaking stuff tends to stay up, thus u hang it, thus it's easy to hit. Plus wang and wright dont have good breaking pitches ot begin with.

Man your dumb, when a pitcher starts to tire, which is around 100 pitches or so, their breaking stuff tends to flatten out, sliders don't curve, curveballs, don't drop. Did you learn pitching from "The Brien Taylor School of Boxing and Pitching"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
