Since getting swept by Boston earlier this month, NY has come back with a vengeance and the National League has had to deal with it — they’ve won their last six series and have gone 14-4 in the process. It’s no wonder they lead the American League with a 46-31 record and trail only [...]
There are a bunch of of stories and blogposts that I wanted to highlight today, so let’s do a link-around:
1) Larry Rothschild watched Phil Hughes throw a bullpen session yesterday, and sounded encouraged by the results:
“There was a clear difference with the way the ball was getting to the plate,” Rothschild [...]
June has been kind to Jorge Posada. At the end of April, he had a .267 wOBA. In May, he hit to the tune of a .293 wOBA. Thus far in June, Jorge’s ripped the ball. His wOBA has been at .415 with a wRC+ at 163. What’s been behind that?
For [...]
With one summer course finished last night, I’m like 95% done with my Master’s. Woo. Okay done with the semi-cool brag. Onto the baseball…
During the series with the Cubs, I was annoyed with the constant Wrigley-fapping. This series, it was (as it usually is when they’re together) the Michael Kay and Paul O’Neill Show. [...]
Over at MLBTR yesterday, Steve Adams suggested that the Twins could put Michael Cuddyer on the trading block as we near the trade deadline. While the Yankee offense is rolling along and doesn’t need much in the way of improvements, there is still at least one “position” that could use some beefing up. Jorge [...]
Earlier today, I had a chance to read an interesting (albeit depressing) article by ESPN’s Ian O’Conner (insider req’d) — yes, the same guy who wrote “The Captain.” The article explored some of the mounting performance pressures that have been placed on Jorge Posada‘s veteran shoulders, and the presumable [...]
Just a few things that ran through my head during the game last night…
This is what we’re up against… John Sterling had a line that really got to me last night. After Jorge Posada had his second hit off of Jon Lester–which I assume was essentially an infield [...]
It’s pretty clear that Joe Girardi is employing a platoon DH situation with Andruw Jones and Jorge Posada. As we all know, Posada’s been absolutely useless against left handed pitchers this year. He has a .109 wOBA against them and STILL hasn’t gotten a hit against a southpaw in 2011. Jones, [...]
The more the day goes on, the louder the trade drum will beat. George King of the New York Post tried to do a little beating of his own over the weekend. He speculated on Carlos Beltran, Michael Cuddyer, and Vladimir Guerrero as potential trade targets for the Yankees.
I wholeheartedly agree on [...]
Fangraphs released a new baserunning statistic earlier this week. I’ll let MGL explain:
Base running linear weights or base running runs, or Ultimate Base Running (UBR), is similar to the outfield arm portion of UZR. Whatever credit (positive or negative) is given to an outfielder based on a runner hold, advance, or kill on [...]
