NEW YORK (WFAN) — Yankees fans aren’t the only ones who have been frustrated with Masahiro Tanaka. Yankees manager Joe Girardi says Tanaka himself is extremely disappointed with his performance this season.
“I think it’s really hard on him, and I think he’s extremely hard on himself,” Girardi said during his weekly appearance on Mike Francesa’s WFAN show. “We hear when he gives up two hits how hard he is (on himself). So I think he’s extremely frustrated. I think he’s trying — and maybe it’s to a point where he’s trying too hard.
