Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Ever seen a switch pitcher before?
This guy (Yankee minor league pitcher) is kind of cool:
[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDyCRTlKllk"]YouTube - Switch Hitter VS Switch Pitcher Pat Venditte‏[/ame]
The switch-pitcher rule change
The Pat Venditte Rule is on the books.
The Professional Baseball Umpire Corporation (PBUC) released its official rules for dealing with ambidextrous pitchers on Wednesday. These guidelines were reached after PBUC staff consulted with a variety of sources, including the Major League Baseball Rules Committee.
Here?s how it reads:
* The pitcher must visually indicate to the umpire, batter and runner(s) which way he will begin pitching to the batter. Engaging the rubber with the glove on a particular hand is considered a definitive commitment to which arm he will throw with. The batter will then choose which side of the plate he will bat from.
* The pitcher must throw one pitch to the batter before any ?switch? by either player is allowed.
* After one pitch is thrown, the pitcher and batter may each change positions one time per at-bat. For example, if the pitcher changes from right-handed to left-handed and the batter then changes batter?s boxes, each player must remain that way for the duration of that at-bat (unless the offensive team substitutes a pinch hitter, and then each player may again ?switch? one time).
* Any switch (by either the pitcher or the batter) must be clearly indicated to the umpire.
There will be no warm-up pitches during the change of arms.
* If an injury occurs the pitcher may change arms but not use that arm again during the remainder of the game.

Derek Jeter.
5-5, the go-ahead RBI and his 3,000th hit was a HR.
His is a great career.
What surprised me... Hank Aaron is one of only 3 players to reach 3,000 at a younger age.... I never would have guessed that.

The pitching is what needs to come around the quickest. There is the potential to have one of the best rotations night for night in all of baseball, and there's also the potential for a trainwreck after Sabathia. You hope that Nova doesn't have a Sophmore slump and that you get the most out of Kuroda and Pineda when he's healthy

Not seeing a whole lot here through the 1st three games. Starting pitching has really let them down

Finally got into the win column last night. Once again not a great starting pitching performance (10 hits off of Nova, OUCH!) but he limited damage (Baltimore was only 2/12 w/RISP)
