Molina is AJ's personal catcher
He starts whenever AJ does.

I'm starting to wonder if the problem is Jorgie
I love the guy, and the scouting report on him used to be that he was good at establishing a rapport with pitchers, but lately, well, that hasn’t been the case. Randy Johnson had a personal catcher (and it came back to bite us in the postseason). That year, Posada said he just didn’t know RJ, and pointed to Mussina as a guy he’d known a long time and got on well with. Then the next year, Mussina got a personal catcher, and it wasn’t Posada. Now it’s AJ.
So far as I know, none of these players has actually asked for a personal catcher. It’s just the pitchers pitch so much better with the backup, that it’s hard not to pair them up permanently.

I suspect it's driven more by personality than performance
There’s too much noise in a small sample size consisting of a handful of starts from one season. Still, there was an OPS spread of over 100 points in comparing when Molina and Posada caught Burnett.
by ken on Oct 29, 2009 7:29 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
They'll probably switch Molina out
After a couple of at-bats, and pinch-hit Posada.

My engineering office started the conversion
years ago, but only recently removed WordPerfect from the computers and forced everyone to use Word. We’re going to be forced to use Outlook soon, too. Ugh.
Kind of a pain, because it sometimes takes 10 years or more to get a project out. Now we’re dealing with occasional WordPerfect documents we can no longer open. Plus, most of us don’t use word processing software very often, so learning the new software is a hell of a learning curve. Especially The Ribbon.
I still use WordPerfect at home, though I have Office as well.

The average ticket price for the first two games at Yankee Stadium was $600 on Wednesday afternoon, compared with $1,400 for Games 3-5 at Citizens Bank Park. The cheapest tickets were going for about $310 in New York and $475 in Philadelphia.

I think people diss him
because they hate Joe Morgan. But Miller is good — especially on the radio. One thing he does that I really like: he describes the play slower than it happened, so he can add details to help you see it. Not much slower, but he doesn’t rush to blurt out the play just to do it at realtime speed.

I give you props for enduring Johnny Dunn- er, Damon’s defense in LF. Pat Burrell was immobile for the Phils, but at least he could throw.

There's a popular Boston t-shirt
With a picture of Damon from his “Idiot” days. It says:
Looks like Jesus.
Acts like Judas.
Throws like Mary.
His arm has always been pretty weak, but he used to have good wheels. He’s dropped off a lot. And I think he’s still adjusting to playing in the corner rather than in CF.

Bernie Williams
was really sad to see by the end. He was letting balls drop in in front of him that even a bad outfielder would get easily. I think it was especially bad because Bernie’s never had good instincts. He doesn’t read the ball off the bat; his defense was due to raw speed. Once he lost that, he was lost.

Especially since he refused to believe his skills were declining
The first time Torre put Bubba in as a LIDR, Bernie was crushed. Torre told him, “You can still go get it, but you can’t get it back in. This kid can throw.”
Then came the first time Torre pinch-ran Bubba for Bernie. That really shocked Bernie. He was always known for his speed. He just couldn’t believe it.
Even after the Yankees cut him…Bernie kept hoping they would change their minds and bring him back. He wouldn’t retire, and he wouldn’t sign with another team. His own mother said she was praying he would accept reality.
Damon, now…I think he’s more realistic. He knows he’s declining. The only thing is, in the heat of the moment, he sometimes forgets how bad his arm is, and how good Melky’s is. He takes the ball when he really should let Melky get it, just because Melky has a cannon.

sure 'nough
Jeter says:
With two strikes, though, Jeter made the decision to attempt another bunt. "That was me," he said. "I was stupid."
He does that. Being who he is, he is allowed to decide to bunt when he wants to. It’s been that way for years, since Torre.
But he makes pretty lousy decisions. He bunts in situations that just leave you scratching your head. Girardi should tell him not to bunt unless he gets the signal. But I guess you can’t do that to The Captain.

Not sure about Girardi
But I think Torre let everyone bunt when they wanted to. He would sometimes call for a bunt from the dugout, but players were also allowed to bunt on their own.
Most players would not bunt if they weren’t ordered to. They want to hit, not bunt. Some players whose game was speed, like Bubba, liked to bunt, and did it a lot and appropriately.
But Jeter…he likes to bunt, even though he’s a great hitter. And he does it at the weirdest times. You gotta wonder what he’s thinking…if he’s thinking.

maybe it could, but it doesn't know that
coyotes, especially alone, are pretty wimpy. If you yell at them or throw a rock, they will run away. They are basically as aggressive as deer, when by themselves.
I’ve never come across a pack, and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if they are much much braver together.
Also, they aren’t that big. I’m much more afraid of a pit bull or rottweiler.
