World Series Off-Day Linkage

by Greg Fertel on November 3, 2009

So the Yankees lost last night, in case you hadn't heard, and today is the final off-day of the 2009 season. Lots of good reading out there for you today.

Like most of us, Chris H. over at The Yankee Universe has noticed Mark Teixeira's struggles. Unlike most of us, he went ahead and wrote about it. Hopefully he can pick it up a bit tomorrow.

SG takes a look at the value each player has contributed thus far in the postseason. Teixeira has been bad, but Robinson Cano has been the least valuable player on the team.

After watching Yankee catchers go to the mound after every pitch, MLB plans to discuss the issue in the offseason. Rob Neyer chimes in with his thoughts.

The Girl Who Loved Andy Pettitte mocks the second-guessing going on in Yankee Land today.

Sky Andrecheck wonders if the Phillies should have pulled Cliff Lee earlier, and goes through the numbers to find out the answer. The answer is yes, they should have. I would have pulled him earlier in Game one, as well.

Michael Lichtman takes a look at pitch selection theory with regards to the Brad Lidge vs. Alex Rodriguez at-bat.

Jack Moore tries to find out the Phillies best outfield alignment for the World Series after Victorino was hit by a pitch last night.

Joe Pawlikowski notes that Yankees fans are still optimistic, and with good reason. Count me among this crew, the Yankees are still in a great position to win this World Series. If they lose Game Six, then I'll start to worry.

And, last but not least, I'm going to link to my most recent post, an interview with pitching prospect Adam Warren. The guy comes off as very intelligent and seems to really know pitching. It'll be exciting to follow him as he moves through the system.
