Pettitte gives up six runs in latest minor league start

It was actually three…but he did it twice.

Left-hander Andy Pettitte gave up six runs in his latest minor league tune-up start today. He threw 95 pitches, which is the good news. Joe Girardi downplayed the results, saying most of the damage was wind-aided. Getting stretched out really is the most important thing at this point.

...Update: Mark Feinsand and Erik Boland have the entire pitching line: 5.2 IP, 10 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 0 BB, 8 K. He actually threw 96 pitches, including 71 for strikes (74.0%).

8K 0BB is encouraging. I'd like to see the BABIP come down a bit before calling him up though. Maybe two or three more starts and he should, hopefully, be good to go.

Doesn't that line along with the 10 hits indicate that he can throw the ball over the plate, but that's about it?
