Remember Rivera’s slow start? What slow start?

Found April 24, 2012 on Bronx Baseball Daily:
PLAYERS: Mariano Rivera
TEAMS: New York Yankees
92946581


Remember Opening Day? Mariano Rivera‘s velocity was down, he had no command of his pitches, and everyone panicked. Even a couple of writers on this site started to wonder what might happen if he finally started acting his age now at 42.

Yeah, that only lasted one night.

Since Opening Day, Rivera has pitched in six games, thrown six innings, struck out six, and has only allowed two baserunners. Good for a 0.00 ERA and a 0.33 WHIP. Like Jeter, Mo’s not done yet.

Stewart will not be Sabathia’s personal catcher

Via Bronx Baseball Daily  |  April 25, 2012
Last season it was Francisco Cervelli who caught most of CC Sabathia‘s start and so far this year Chris Stewart has caught half of them including the last two. Should we expect a similar situation to last year where Cervelli served as a de facto catcher to The Big Man? Not according to what Joe Girardi said. “I am not looking at a personal catcher,’’ Girardi told George...

Pineda to have shoulder surgery, out 12 months

Via Bronx Baseball Daily  |  April 25, 2012
The MRI results came back on Michael Pineda‘s shoulder and it turns out to be a right shoulder anterior labral tear that will keep him out at least a full year, according to Mark Feinsand of the NY Daily News.

Yankees hold Pudge in highest esteem

Via Fox Sports Southwest  |  April 23, 2012
ARLINGTON, Texas There's no doubt about how Ranger fans fell about now retired catcher Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez. That affinity for the 10-time Gold Glove backstop was more than apparent before Monday's series opener with the New York Yankees. But some say the true mark of a player's impact has on the game is in what his peers say about him. And like the fans...

I made a trip out to Trenton this past Saturday for a rare 5:05 start to watch the Thunder play host to the Washington Nationals Double-A affiliate, Harrisburg Senators.

Michael Pineda Diagnosed With Torn Labrum

Via Fangraphs  |  April 25, 2012
According to MLB.com’s Bryan Hoch, Michael Pineda has been diagnosed with an “anterior labral tear”, and surgery is set for May 1st. Compared to elbow surgery, which has become almost routine at this point, recoveries from shoulder problems have not gone nearly as well. Since we don’t know the extent of the tear, it is impossible to say that this is the worst case scenario...

Where does Pudge Rodriguez stand in history?

The sports news cycle is always an interesting one. Today, Pudge Rodriguez officially announced his retirement from baseball. Like most modern players, you get the idea that he could play and wanted to play, but teams are becoming more and more skittish about adding aging veterans to their squad.
