First the pitching,
now the hitting.
Meanwhile, Scranton's Tyler Clippard was pulled from tonight's start after one inning, and since Wang is scratched from Sunday's start, it looks as though T-Clip will make his major league debut in Shea Sunday night. A little background: Clippard is one those guys whose stats exceed his stuff. He led his league in strikeouts last year and even pitched a no-hitter. His best pitch is his changeup, and he has great command, but his fastball barely touches 92. He's struck out a ton of guys in the minors due to his command, so you'll see him k some guys on that fastball that grazes the inside corner or a well placed outside changeup.
Wow. The fifth rookie (counting Igawa) to make his ML debut, and it's only mid-May!
