"Here Comes Your Man" would make an awesome walk-up song for Chase if he could ever part with "Kashmir."

The whole thing reads like its some giant coincidence that Morton does everything the same as Doc from his walk to and from the mound to thew way he dresses. I really hope that scrub gets shelled out of baseball.



Morton threw live batting practice next. Lyle Overbay stood in. Overbay, 34, is in his first season with the Pirates. He played three years in Arizona, two in Milwaukee and five in Toronto. Morton came at Overbay with a 95 mph sinking fastball and, then, well. . .

"He threw a curveball that dropped off the table,'' Overbay recalled last week. "I said, whoa, he's got that, too? Then he threw me a 92 mile-an-hour cutter (fastball) and I'm saying, 'What is going on here'?''

That's when Overbay compared Morton to reigning NL Cy Young winner Roy Halladay of the Phillies. Last week, Overbay added this: "This is Roy Halladay with better stuff. Roy's location makes him the elite of the elite. Charlie's not there yet with his location. But once he is. . .''


Uh...

thanks to my obsession with outfield platoons, i just looked at the splits for benny and raul. whoa... freaky! turns out that they both have huge reverse platoon splits this season. raul is 99 ops points better versus lefties, and benny 139 points better versus righties. small sample size, so those numbers will almost certainly change to something more typical by season's end, but i'm not sure that there's a manager alive who would dare to platoon those two right now.
BRING HOME THE GOAT!

It's probably a little tough on the players, but I wholly endorse this "win a game every 12 hours or so" plan and think it's something mlb should explore more in the future.

Wow. That's quite a difference.

Are you only using the major league at bats from last year?
