Head-scratching Yankee lineup today. Girardi gave Russel Martin the day off from catching, but used him as the DH. Not many other choices on the weak bench, just Cano, Granderson, Ibanez and Chavez. No depth.

I was at the game and there were some questionable decisions by Girardi. He kept Joba in despite the fact that every single ball was being hit hard and his pitch count was well over 30. The game went from 7-6 to 9-6

I don't understand many things Girardi has done or hasn't done. The bullpen was in good shape yesterday. Why lose the game by helping Chamberlain find himself?

With the Dodgers up 2 - 1 in the 7th Victorino doubled in Luis Cruz to make the score 3 - 1. The Dodgers had a Win Expectancy of 82.8% and a run expectancy of .348.
Victorino was caught stealing, making the 3rd out of the inning at 3rd. This reduced the Dodgers' WP to 80.6% and the RE, of course, to 0
Pretty gutsy decision by LA in the bottom of the 10th in Atlanta.
Tie game, Braves batting. With one out Bourn singled. LA brings in Brandon League to pitch to Prado. League falls behind 3-0 and while that is taking place, Bourn steals second and advances to third on a bad throw.
I figured that with one out and a 3-0 count, LA would certainly just finish the walk to Prado and try for the double play. Instead they went after him...and got him on a swinging strike three. Jones flied out, on to the 11th.
filihok....I don't have a telecast of this game, I've been following the recreation on MLB Gamecast. It features a chart which marks the location of each pitch and there has been an awfully frequent discrepancy between what the chart is showing and what the home plate ump is calling, especially on low strikes which have been called balls.
Assuming you have had the visual on this, has it looked like a poorly called game?

I'm also watching the game on Gameday and FanGraphs.
The best online tool for measuring pitch location is, IMO, Brooksbaseball.

White Sox show why they don't deserve to win the division tonight.
