PrintOakland Athletics at New York Yankees, Sep 1, 2010 4:05 PM PDT
Happy Wednesday! My name is baseballgirl and I'll be your guide for the remainder of the A's/Yankees series, which, if you saw the last two games, can't really come soon enough. Reminder: Tomorrow's game is at 10:00 AM, so anyone who would like to enjoy breakfast and baseball should do it tomorrow.
Tonight's matchup will feature A.J. Burnett (who had a terrible August) against Brett Anderson, who only lasted two innings his last time out. Reports are that he is ready to go in today's contest, so we'll have to see how he looks.
MLB.com sums up the A's first two games with this succinct comment:
Whatever wind the A's had in their sails heading into their four-game set with the Yankees has since floated on. Two losses have sorely hurt Oakland's chances to catch up to the first-place Texas Rangers in the AL West.
But a win against the Yankees is still a win against the Yankees, so Let's Go Oak-land!

So Cesar Carrillo, a Padres pitcher who I played ball with as a kid was DFAd today
People need to look at what happened to him when they talk so confidently about how Strasburg will be back and ready to go in 2012. Cesar never bounced back from Tommy John surgery. Sure, he was never nearly as good as Strasburg, but he was a first round pick who was a really sure bet to make the majors when he got hurt. Pitched in a couple games last year, and now his time in affiliated ball might be done.

Would it make more sense to DH Larish and put Cust in the OF at this point?

When is anyone in the media--ANYONE--going to confront this issue?
There is video evidence that the strike zone changes for the Yankees and Red Sox, and that it changes for celebrity pitchers like Cliff Lee. This isn’t opinion, this is fact, and every baseball fan that doesn’t root for the Yankees, the Red Sox, or Cliff Lee’s team knows it’s true. Probably every sports journalist knows it’s true as well. So why are they not exposing it? Selig won’t do jack shit about it until someone pulls his pants down in front of the class.

They have armies of researchers.
If ANers can do it in their spare time without getting paid, I think ESPN can figure out how to get it done.
Besides, all they’d really need to do would be roll the tape. Watching it happen is always going to be more damning for the ordinary fan.

ok,
how about farther inside than a previous ball.
No, seriously. The ESPN K-zone had the pitch inside the batter's box line (crossing it as it tailed back to the catcher)
It was probably close to a foot than 16 inches, but it was more than 6 inches inside (because that’s how far the plate is from the start of the batter’s box line.

Is anyone else having trouble with CSN CA?
All I get is a “this channel will be available shortly” message. ESPN, of course, has the game blacked out.
I'm glad to be back...the games aren't much fun without you guys
now I just need to catch up on Mad Men….I’m two episodes behind
But seriously,folks....
I have them on the DVR....I'm going to try and watch both tomorrow
it’s been a great season so far.
But seriously,folks....
lets go anderson!
C'mon Beane! Close off the bottom deck and reopen the top!
So, we have good Zook and bad Kouz.
If we could ever get Good Zook (“Kooz”) and Bad Kouz (“Zouk”) together at the same time, we’d have a good lineup.
