• Mets Still Need Pitching

  
  Mets Today — Authority: 541
  While the Mets and their fans sit around waiting for Jason Bay and Bengie Molina to make up their minds, there is still the little matter of the pitching staff. For those unaware, injuries were not the reason the Mets had their worst season since 2003. Neither was it the lack of power. Sure, those obvious issues had ...

  Texas Rangers — Authority: 601
  A friend called last night (yeah, Ive got a couple). This guy may have been a little bit giddy because hes a huge Texas fan and hes probably going nuts waiting for the BCS Championship game, so hes trying to come up with things to keep him busy. Which, is the only reason I can think of for why hed call and start out ...

• Commissioning stories over Christmas: perfect timing?

  
  Spalpeen — Authority: 396
  Photo credit: The Pub by mild_swearwords on Flickr James Brown has an interesting anecdotal post up over at Organ Grinder about the best time to get articles commissioned in magazines. He says this week is the best time due to a combination of “end of year list exhaustion”, plenty of trips to the pub and ...

• The Vasquez trade

  
  Yanks and more — Authority: 133
  There are several things that come out of this trade, first of all the Yankees have a very solid rotation. The 5th starter will be a competition between Phil Hughes, Joba Chamberlain, Sergio Mitre, Chad Gaudin and Alfredo Aceves. It is assumed that Phil Hughes will get the job and Joba will head back to the bullpen ...

• Osterman at 55 mph?

  
  Tons of softball drills, softball tips, and advice on softball hitting, softball pitching, coaching softball, softball training, and more. — Authority: 141
  Suppose Ostermans top speed was 55 mph, not 60. Would she be a successful D1 pitcher? My vote is "No". She has a great rise and great control, but at 55 MPH, hitters would be able to adjust to her junk pitches and hit her--hard.

• Javy Vazquez by the numbers

  
  River Avenue Blues — Authority: 618
  Just some stuff I came across regarding Javier Vazquez today… Payroll implications By my back of the napkin calculation, the Yankees were at around $197 million in payroll before the Vazquez trade. This included estimated arbitration raises to Melky Cabrera , Chad Gaudin, and Sergio Mitre, plus filling out ...

  I guess I have been watching this board for around a couple years now. I read posts and replies by pitcher’s Dads and coaches talking about the kids fast pitches and slow change ups. Maybe I missed it but I do not recall reading any discussions on using off-speed pitches. Does your pitcher have any off-speed ...

• Can the Mets Ever Have Enough Pitching?

  
  Mets Lifers — Authority: 116
  The answer is no. Its impossible to have too much pitching. Ok, if you have 20 pitchers on your roster, that might be overkill, but for the most part pitching is like a good meal you never can get enough. So while the Mets infatuate themselves with  the likes of Jason Bay and any catcher whose name ends in a vowel ...

• Marquis de Blah

  
  The Nationals Review — Authority: 111
  The Nationals signed Jason Marquis yesterday, and while I am not going to completely rip the signing, I don’t think it’s much to get excited about. He’s not great at much, other than showing up every day. But there is great value in this, and maybe he can teach the youngsters a thing or two [...]

  Yanks and more — Authority: 133
  Jason Marquis is about to sign with the Washington Nationals. It is interesting that they have added a veteran starter and a veteran catcher. They also will almost certainly have Stephen Strasburg on the roster at some point this season. I think the Mets better be careful, everyone in the division seems to be getting ...

  I have a daughter who just turned 12 who has been pitching for a couple years. I have mostly coached her myself but she has gone to a couple different pitching coaches as well. Does anyone have a recommendation for a pitching coach in the middle Tennessee area? thanks

• Christmas Garland?

  
  Nats Triple Play — Authority: 106
  Ex-White Sox/Angels/D-Backs/Dodgers hurler Jon Garland is one of the ten ( TEN?! - Does that include Oil Can Boyd ?) free agents pitchers the Nats are eying this winter. Garland is apparently keeping company with guys like Jason Marquis, Joel Pineiro, Doug Davis and John Smoltz. (Seriously though, if they sign ...

• Pitching Woo

  
  Wordmall — Authority: 115
  Fred from Petoskey, Michigan, asked about the phrase pitching woo . I haven’t heard that for years. I associate it with earlier, more innocent times. It means courting, advancing your case to a young lady to convince her that she should fall for you, thus insinuating your way into her heart. Pitch has gone ...
