Dodger Thoughts: Uncomfortably numb: Bullpen wastes Billingsley's 13 Ks

Disciples of Uecker (Brewers): What a long, injured trip it's been
Mark Rodgers has had a whole career of troubles, and is only 24. Leading up to his Friday night debut, Jack takes a look at how he got here. (Postscript: he threw just three innings and 56 pitches, but didn't give up a hit while walking two and striking out four.)

Bay City Ball (Giants): So, I Really Don't Like Coors Field

It's About the Money, Stupid (Yankees): The Human Element
"I often hear people say/write (something to the effect of), “See. [Player X] did fine despite [sabermetric statistic that stated otherwise].The game isn’t played on a computer screen.” Like most of the arguments in the debate over newer statistics, it comes from a misunderstanding of what is actually happening and what the purpose of sabermetrics is. So, let’s talk about it."
