gloves watches use
Watch Darren Daulton use his mitt like a glove.
balls ballparks one-thing
One thing about ground balls: they don't go out of the ballpark.
mean giving use
When a catcher has to use his thumb to give signs, that means the pitcher has more than four pitches.
sports simple guy
Roy Oswalt is a drop and drive pitcher. What is a drop and drive pitcher? He is a guy who drops and drives. Very simple.
down-and
That pitch wasn't down and in, that pitch was down and up.
rain mind balls
Something to keep in mind - it's raining lightly. The infield could be very wet on ground balls.
sports years yankees
Yankee pitchers have had great success this year against Cabrera when they get him out.
sports dumb toes
Well, David Eckstein, like most of us, has 20 digits. Ten fingers. Ten toes.
habit easy form
Good habits are as easy to form as bad ones.
sports dumb arms
The reason we call that pitch up and in is because the arms are attached to the shoulder.
funny running baseball
Bob Gibson is the luckiest pitcher I ever saw. He always pitches when the other team doesn't score any runs.
al game shocked
I will be shocked if Al Leiter doesn't come into the game now.
bench decade guys happen mental red trying white yankees
It's doubled his workload, at least. He's trying to get to know these guys quickly. That didn't happen 30 years ago. The decade that Jorge has had with the Yankees has been much harder, from a mental standpoint, than Bench with the Reds or (Carlton) Fisk with the Red Sox or White Sox.
against apply august cares game happened hitter july relevant
You don't want to use too many statistics. The ones that apply to a July or August game won't be relevant on Saturday. If they are tied, or a game separated, who cares what happened back in May? Who cares if this hitter was 6-for-28 against this pitcher.
