A Saber-Slanted Baseball Community

A take on the pitching matchup in the first game that I haven't read about or heard about elsewhere. Plus, I wrote it.

River Avenue Blues takes a look at how Yankees pitchers are doing with Posada in the game vs. the times they've got one of those Molina kids. The results? Pretty ugly. Of course, it's a small sample size, and impossible to know how much is really because of the catcher, but it's still intriguing.

Today I found out via Baseball Musings that former Yankee slugger Johnny Blanchard passed away. My thoughts go out to his family. Even though he was a reserve player a good fifty years ago, I have always had an interest in Blanchard. It’s a bit of a long story...
