some notes from chad jennings on Romulo

When I saw Romulo Sanchez (right) throw a few offspeed pitches last night, I assumed it was the curveball I had read about. Turns out, Sanchez doesn’t throw a curveball. The pitch Travis Hafner missed so badly was a changeup. The same pitch that made Trevor Crowe look silly. Sanchez throws a slider, but last night he was all fastball-changeup. His fastball was steadily at 95 mph on the stadium gun, and the Yankees had him hitting 96.

[5] Berroa’s role is “keeper of those pictures Cashman doesn’t want to get out”
It’s the only logical explanation.

[7] I read that this morning, and I had to keep myself from screaming, “Cripes Buster, YES! 17 games is the very definition of ’small sample size’! And don’t you realize ‘pace’ is statistically meaningless, especially after just 17 games?!?!”

Because sample size is such an easy concept to grasp, I get upset when someone as intelligent as Olney writes junk like that. Aiieee!

So as the saying goes, “If I can make there, I can make it anywhere,” as it applies to NY, does that mean “if you can’t make it there, I can probably make it in Pittsburgh”?

Buster Olney:
“After five homers were hit in the Yankees’ win over the Twins on Monday, there have now been 63 homers in 17 games in new Yankee Stadium: 32 by the Yankees, 31 by the Yankees’ opponents. Last year, the Yankees’ pitchers allowed 68 for the entire season, and the Yankees’ hitters mashed 92, for a total of 160. So at the current rate, there will be more homers hit in new Yankee Stadium by July 17 — the first home game after the All-Star break — than there were during the entire 2008 season in old Yankee Stadium.
Is it still too early to say the new place plays small?”

[1] The other question is: how long does it take to decide whether Rodriguez can play every day? He’s played 10 straight days – has there been any sign of weakness or pain? If not…what are they waiting for?
