Coast to Coast Baseball: May 2009

http://c2cbaseball.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

Coast to Coast Baseball. Friday, May 29, 2009. The Curious Case of Chien-Ming Wang. Before the offseason began the Yankees instructed Wang not to work out his legs due to his injury from last year. I'm simply baffled by this decision. What exactly were they thinking? The majority of a pitchers power comes from his lower body and core. So by not strengthening this area Wang was supposed to be successful how? Labels: Cashman is an idiot. C2C-There have been some early reports saying the Yankee's have no ro...

THE YANKEES REPUBLIC: October 2010

http://theyankeesrepublic.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

THE VOICE OF LOYAL DISSENT. Thursday, October 28, 2010. RECKONING BY THE BOOK. The Year of Magical Thinking. But this year I can't but wonder whether defeat, in the end, might not serve a greater good; whether, for some within the Yankee hierarchy, it isn't justly deserved. May they reap what they've sown- a drought followed by the whirlwind. In an interview Michael Kay conducted on his New York radio show, he recently asked Brian Cashman, ". Would you rather he go by the gut? I definitely don't want peo...

THE VOICE OF LOYAL DISSENT. Friday, May 28, 2010. THE FALLACIES OF DEFENSIVE METRICS. Basketball scorers count mechanical errors, but those are a record of objective facts: team A has the ball, then team B has the ball. But the fact of a baseball error is that no play has been made but that the scorer thinks it should have. It is, uniquely, a record of opinions. In “Database Loaded,” (. Space and audience constrain Leitch from an exhaustive accounting of their infirmities or a thorough consideration of t...

THE YANKEES REPUBLIC: July 2011

http://theyankeesrepublic.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html

THE VOICE OF LOYAL DISSENT. Friday, July 8, 2011. Still, those quick to dismiss Jeter's role as a racial symbol, like Robinson or Clemente, should consider the strange fixation TV cameras have exhibited over the years with Jeter's parent. Can you recall another contemporary Yankees whose parents have rivaled the Jeters for the air time cameras shower on them? Examine the list of the elite 28 players again. Does each conjure in your mind an aura of greatness? I don't profess to know the answer to these qu...

THE VOICE OF LOYAL DISSENT. Monday, March 17, 2014. BIG BUD IS WATCHING YOU. In this country the people have rights but the person has none."- Henry James. In the King's courtroom, rules are invented on the spot; sentences are handed down first, verdicts afterward- a sleight-of-hand assuredly practiced in Charles Dodgson's time, as it is now." - Joyce Carole Oates on Alice in Wonderland. It enlisted a band of would-be Pinkertons who impersonated law enforcement agents. Bought stolen health records,.

THE VOICE OF LOYAL DISSENT. Tuesday, December 1, 2009. THE PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN. 40 million in central fund monies (shared national TV, marketing, licensing, MLB Network and MLB.Com). 35 million in revenue sharing (the redistributed proceeds from a 34% tax on each team’s revenue the luxury tax).

THE VOICE OF LOYAL DISSENT. Thursday, January 28, 2010. THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS: PENNY WISE AND CASH STUPID. 8220;And if, to be sure, sometimes you need to conceal a fact with words, do it in such a way that it does not become known, or, if it does become known, that you have a ready and quick defense”— Machiavelli, The Prince. Is there a reason, financial or strategic, that the Yankees suddenly have decided that 2010’s payroll must be lower than 2009’s? Or is the explanation simpler still? Indeed, for...
