Stottlemyre said Wang is one of the easiest pitchers he's ever had to coach. It's easy to see why, especially if he keeps pitching into the seventh inning, as he has done four times this season. But Wang doesn't say much. Instead, he listens closely when Stottlemyre offers advice. Usually, as he did yesterday, Stottlemyre will receive only a nod in response.

"Maybe he's fooling me," Stottlemyre said. "Sometimes he nods his head and I wonder if he really understands." [newark star ledger]
