Quentin not seeing any hittable fastballs lately, hopefully he'll adjust and just take the walks that everyone is pretty much giving him

 

He's still getting first pitch fastballs on a frequent basis.

He's mixing in more curveballs, but he's primarily going with the two seam sinking fastball at 90-91 MPH.

 

He doesn't really seem like he's dominating, but he's certainly pitching effectively against Pena, who is the one batter you don't want to beat you in their line-up...and it would have been nice had Matt Thornton had the time to study the way they're attacking Zobrist, but he's not as dangerous as a LH hitter.

 

Swisher K's (hat trick) with the bases loaded against Pavano in the bottom of the 6th.

Nick Swisher falling back to earth...hitting .325 and 2 k's today against Carl Pavano, but Yankees threatening.

Evidently the new Yankee Stadium has some sort of wind tunnel out to RF. There are a lot of people really concerned about it. Swisher may benefit.

He's crushing the ball....no issues at all with his approach.

 

Not a big Betemit fan early. I like the BA and Lillibridge approach, at least make the pitcher work.

 

Until Thome starts hitting more consistently I'd like to see Konerko or Dye moved up while they are hot.

Floyd's gotten a few Ks on his change today. It seems like he's going mainly fastballs but making them think about the curve, then right when they forget about it, he gets them swinging at a change for strike 3.

Looks like we're going to be catching the Orioles as they're really cooling off.

 

We have Guthrie, but two other starters we should be able to beat for sure.

 

Yep, Gavin's 85 MPH change-up is starting to become a really devastating part of his arsenal, as he has better control of it than the curveball.
