HIROKI KURODA RUMORS
Hiroki Kuroda pitchF/X Diagnostic Check
You don’t need me to repeat it, but I will anyway: Hiroki Kuroda’s been an utter disappointment thus far, pitching at the replacement level, losing his control, and serving up long balls like it’s nobody’s business. And while eight innings of shutout ball against the Oakland Athletics last night may turn some heads, Kuroda’s still faces a problem where he hasn’t before...

Will The Real Hiroki Kuroda Please Stand Up!
Well New York Yankees fans, here we go again. Another start, and another question as to who the real Hiroki Kuroda is.
Today, the “good” Hiroki was present as he pitched 8 shutout innings while allowing only 4 hits and one walk. In Kuroda’s 4 wins as the number two man in the New York Yankees rotation, he has thrown 30 innings and allowed just three earned runs...

Game 47: Kuroda Throws A Gem
New York Yankees 2 — Oakland Athletics 0
Kuroda blanked the weak-hitting A’s in today’s 2-0 win.
Entering today’s start, Hiroki Kuroda was 0-4 on the road away from Yankee Stadium. But today he looked like he was at home. The most significant threat of today’s outing was in the 7th inning with two on and just one out. A strikeout and a fly out cleared...

Yankees 2, Athletics 0
Hiroki Kuroda pitched eight scoreless innings and Andruw Jones hit a solo homer that helped the New York Yankees win their season-high fifth straight game, 2-0 over the Oakland Athletics on Sunday.
The Yankees got off to a strong start to their nine-game road trip by sweeping the three-game series in Oakland, extending their winning streak at the Coliseum to nine games. That is...

No Support for Kuroda
Hiroki Kuroda's lack of run support has followed him from LA to NY.
When Hiroki Kuroda came to the Yankees in the offseason, many thought he would win at least 15 games now that he was coming to a team with a potent offense. As a member of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Kuroda received very limited run support. In four yeas in LA, Kuroda was just 41-46 with a pretty good ERA of 3.45...

Yankees Game 42 Lineup: 05/21/12
Hiroki Kuroda has had significant success at home this season. The Yankees need this from him again tonight in Bronx.
After five strong innings of work, C.C. Sabathia lost his command in sixth and dug the Yankees a hole they couldn’t crawl out of, resulting in Sabathia’s second straight loss. The series with the Reds didn’t go as planned and the Yankees lost two...

So Far, Not Great for Yankees Kuroda
Watching Hiroki Kuroda instills some confidence in me. Why that is, I don’t know, but just know that it does. I think it has something to do with the consistency he brings. He surely doesn’t have the most electric arm in the league, let alone on the Yankees, but he has located effectively and pitched away from big innings. He is the exact opposite of A.J. Burnett and that is...

Hiroki Kuroda’s Jekyll And Hyde Act Is Wearing Thin With The New York Yankees
The 2012 New York Yankees season has been one of inconsistency. There have been moments where they look like a team ready to contend for another world championship, and there have been moments where they have looked like an aging squad full of players on the down-side of their careers. Seemingly there has been no in-between.
No one player has been more indicative of the New York...

Hiroki Kuroda continues roller coaster season
We’re just eight games into the Hiroki Kuroda experience, but it has been a crazy ride that has more ups and downs than Coney Island’s Cyclone. In eight games, he has allowed two earned runs or less in four starts and, runs or more in three, and once he allowed three runs in 4.1 innings.
He’s been both very good and terribly bad, beating teams like the Texas Rangers...

Kuroda Worried About His Stadium Opening Start
From Andrew Marchand:Hiroki Kuroda has never played in Yankee Stadium. So when he throws the first home pitch for the Yankees a little after 1 p.m. on Friday, he will have more nerves than anything else.
"Rather than being excited, I'm more worried about how I'm going to perform," Kuroda said through his interpreter.
...
"Since I've never pitched...
