Michael Pineda

Michael Pineda got tossed in the second inning of Wednesday's game against the Red Sox for having pine tar on his neck. It's the second consecutive start against Boston that Pineda has been accused or found of using the illegal substance. Baseball people say that pine tar gets used all the time by pitchers who are looking for help with grip...

As I watched Michael Pineda embarrass the Yankees AGAIN last night, everyone's advise of "cheat better" rang through my ears. It's clear to me that Pineda needs to learn from crafty veteran Eddie Harris in "Major League".    

BOSTON (AP) — Michael Pineda was ejected for using a foreign substance less than two weeks after appearing to get away with it in another game against Boston, and the Red Sox beat the New York Yankees 5-1 on Wednesday night. The right-hander was thrown out in the second inning when plate umpire Gerry Davis found a shiny substance on the right side of Pineda's neck after Red Sox manager John Farrel

NEW YORK (AP) — Michael Pineda followed an overpowering outing by Masahiro Tanaka with one of his own, pitching six innings of four-hit ball as the New York Yankees beat the Chicago Cubs 2-0 on a bitterly cold Wednesday night to complete its first doubleheader shutout sweep since 1987...

After being washed out on Tuesday night, the Yankees and Cubs will play their two-game series in one day. The teams will play a doubleheader at the Stadium today. The first game is set for 1:05 p.m. with the nightcap at 7:05. Game one features Masahiro Tanaka vs...

"All I know is he pitched extremely well and we are glad to have him back." These are the words New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi repeated when asked about his winning pitcher Michael Pineda during his post-game press conference after beating the Red Sox 4-1...

Michael Pineda became a Yankee in January of 2012 in a trade that sent Star catching prospect Jesus Montero to the Seattle Mariners. The thought at the time was the phenom All Star Rookie pitcher would join CC Sabathia in the starting rotation creating a dominant one, two punch for years to come...

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. (AP) — Daisuke Matsuzaka allowed one run over six innings in his bid to become the Mets' fifth starter, helping New York beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-3 Monday. Competing with Jenrry Mejia, Dice-K allowed three hits and three walks, striking out five...

Michael Pineda was a major league all-star in 2011. A 22-year-old with a fastball at 97 MPH and a good splitter, the burly righty went 9-10 for my sad-sack Seattle Mariners. (If you read my intro blog yesterday, it only took a day to get a Mariners reference in)...

We get it by now.  The once-heralded phenom Phil Hughes is what he is at this point.  Nothing more than a 4 or 5 in a Yankee pitching rotation or 3 or 4 elsewhere (National League probably) who never fully reached his full potential in New York and is more up and down than a Northeast roller coaster during the Summer time.

Yankees Pitcher Michael Pineda has been diagnosed with an anterior labral tear in his shoulder and is set to have arthroscopic surgery on Tuesday. Pineda will be out for the season.

Very interesting trade by the Yanks and very risky. Gone is top prospect or so they claimed Jesus Montero and pitching prospect Hector Noesi for fireballing righty Michael Pineda and rookie righty Jose Campos. So many interesting angles from this winter whopper...
