Man I miss baseball.
The 5 best pitches of the NPB. Guess who is N°1.
The Yoenis Cespedes video. The Cuban defector is a power-hitting centerfielder who has described as being a plus defender with a below-average arm. He is supposedly 26, but you know how that goes with Cuban defectors. You can read the Jeff Passan article about him here.
A full-length video of Yu Darvish's playoff start for the Nippon-Ham Fighters (7 IP, 1 R, 4 H, 7 K, 0 BB). We've already talked about Darvish so much he's sort of turned into The Legend of Sidd Finch. Nice to be reminded he's a real guy. [via Baseball America]
Brian Kenny on what One More Win could mean after 51 years. (Also, sucking up to his new co-worker John Hart.)
That ball hit Adrian Beltre's foot! We all saw it! They even had freakin' Infra Red to show it. So why take the bat out of the hand of a big slugger in the 9th inning of a one run game in the World Series???? Instant Replay anyone?
