Obviously, wins are always good, but I noticed Bruney’s velocity down last night to 90-91 in his second inning of work (and fourth in two nights). The guy is gassed right now.

Here’s to hoping Pettite can give them some innings today.

I’m assuming that you’re talking about when A-Rod threw his helmet into the air? He did that last year too and Melky did it on his walk-off.

Being completely biased here, I see that as more of a “Yippee we won” and Buck’s as more of an “F-you, we beat your ass”. And I think the fact that he’s a rookie didn’t help matters. But maybe I was just too tired at the time that it happened and it clouded my judgement.

As for analysis of A-Rod’s swing, I would bet the Jeff Albert from Swingtraining.net will tackle that issue soon enough. He analyzed Alex’s swing last year.
