Dave Eiland recently made some comments that suggested that Yankees pitchers are afraid to throw strikes in the New Yankee Stadium. While I have a more extensive study planned for this weekend, I did want to reference what Steve Lombardi wrote on this this afternoon:
I made my second trip to the new park last night, and sat in the grandstand behind the plate. I really do not know what people were complaining about, I felt just as close as I did in similar seats (about 5 rows from the top) in the old park, and the concourses and general [...]
EJ, Eric, and I were at the game last night, and it was my first trip to the new park. Let me give a very brief review: We sat in Section 203, the new home of the bleacher creatures. From our seats, the Stadium felt exactly like the old place, just a bit nicer and [...]

From Pete Abe’s Mailbag:
Ralph writes: Everyone has their own breaking point. I’ve been accepting of all the changes at the Stadium this year. My breaking point came with every strikeout getting a P.C. Richard’s whistle over the loudspeaker and every stolen base getting a “Gotta Go to Mo’s.”
Answer: I’m with [...]
Good ole’ Wally Matthews chimes in with his take on the New Yankee Stadium:
Whatever it is, the franchise that took ownership of the home run, whose players have hit some of the most famous home runs in baseball history – The Babe’s called shot, Reggie’s three on three consecutive World Series pitches, The [...]
I had a few random thoughts on the last couple of games, so I’m going to scrap my usual recap format and just go with some bullet points.
Have you ever seen anyone quite as happy after hitting a walk-off home run as Alex Rodriguez was yesterday? The look on his face as he rounded [...]
I was having a debate over at RAB with a commenter about the social stratification in the new Yankee Stadium, and a thought came to me that I think is a particularly important point that has not yet been brought up.
Let me tell you a story about a Stadium that had one area [...]
From Tyler Kepner:
Fans will now be able to watch batting practice from the seats along the left- and right-field lines and in the outfield (Sections 129 to 136 and 103 to 111).
Alice McGillion, a spokeswoman for the Yankees, said that after the team received complaints it looked at the policy at [...]
Jaon at IIATMS runs through the factors that contributed to the premium tickets to games at the new Yankees Stadium going unsold:
The economy tanked
Personal wealth linked to the capital markets tanked
Jobs disappeared
Government bailout of Wall Street behemoths
Many, many Wall Street financial institutions merged/disappeared
Many [...]
From The Baseball Analysts:
There’s been a lot of talk about the new Yankee Stadium playing like a bandbox, but the old stadium wasn’t so bad itself. The short right-field porch allowed the Yankees to stack up on lefties, so there has been a higher percentage of homers hit to right in Yankee Stadium [...]
