Jesse Sanchez (MLB) has a nice summary out on the current Manager of The Year race in the AL. With Mike Scioscia atop Sanchez’s list, he later offers Joe Girardi as a “dark horse” for the honor. Here’s what Sanchez had to say about Girardi.
The manager of the best team with the highest [...]
In various conversations I’ve had with fellow Yankee fans during the last few months about the team’s playoff prospects, one pitcher has come up possibly even more often than Joba Chamberlain: A.J. Burnett.
We all know the Burnett story. Lights-out stuff, but seemingly at any time can succumb to One [...]
I’ve already gone on record with my desire to play the Twins over the Tigers in the ALDS. Now Sam Borden points out that Justin Verlander is scheduled to pitch on Sunday, but would be scratched in the event that the Tigers can clinch the Central beforehand.
If [...]
Yup, true story.
According to pitch value data, CC’s changeup is 22.5 runs above average. That’s the best in the American League for any starting pitchers with 150+ innings. In fact, across both leagues, CC’s changeup value is second only to Tim Lincecum’s, which is 33.5 runs above average.

Tom Verducci has an excellent read out on Mariano Rivera and the pitch that made him famous in next week’s issue of Sports Illustrated. Here’s a bit of text from the article, which you can read online.

A.J. Burnett has a 3.09 ERA over his last 5 starts. During the course of those 32 innings, he has struck out 37 batters while walking 14. It’s certainly been an impressive way to end the regular season, as Burnett seems to have figured it out at the right time. Even more impressive is that [...]
Last night’s game was the 10th that I attended this season, and brought my 2009 record to 5-5. Considering I started the season 0-4, I feel OK about finishing at .500, although I really wanted to secure a winning record after last night’s game, and the Yankees blew it.
The Yankees wound up with [...]
From Jeremy Greenhouse:
It’s the manager’s job to get the most out of his players. With regards to the bullpen, this means optimally inserting relievers depending on such factors as the current baserunners, batter, and score. Hence, relief contributions tend to be measured by Win Probability Added. Having a bullpen ace makes the managers [...]
The Yankees lost to the Royals 4-3 Wednesday night in one of the most boring games I’ve ever had the misfortune of attending, and this is coming from someone who witnessed the Yankees get no-hit by six Astros pitchers in 2003.
The story of the game was Joba [...]
Remember all the hue and cry in April and May about how the new Yankee Stadium is a bandbox? How the new place has some enormous jet stream that is carrying balls hit off the end of a bat over the fences? The park factor was up to 105 (same as Fenway, which plays ‘fair’ [...]
