Why have I never seen this before? So, it was the 9th inning, it was Matsui, and the ball was outside, not 6 inches, but 3 or 4. Also an inch or 2 high. If you could hear the whining, my god! On another note, wouldn't it be nice to see Rivera pitch in games that aren't already decided, regardless of the inning? Wow, enhanced gameday rocks! Why have I never seen this before?

He’s killing Yankees and Joe torre for not winning a the world series last seven years. Mets had top payroll in Nl for last five years.Steve Phillips was fired as Gm, Mets was laughing stock before Omar Minaya came onboard. Mets haven’t won a world series in nearly 20 years. Did Willie and Mets won world series last year? If I had a gun, I will swear I shoot Steven A Smith for being a fraud… He’s irrated Yankees Fans like myself..

They only have the equipment installed at a few parks, including the Cell (but not the Stadium. boooooo!). You can grab all the data by opening the Gameday feature on MLB.com. I don't have it opened in front of me, but I believe that there was a pretty good pitched called for a ball in that at bat.

I would love to see pitch locations. I watched this game on MLB.tv, and the CHI announcers wouldn't shut up about the "small strike zone," particularly on a pitch to (I think) Matsui in the (I think) 7th inning, just before he singled to center for a run. I am certain that ball was 6 inches outside, but the announcers acted as though the ChiSox (or "we," as they continually called them) were monumentally jobbed. What is enhanced gameday?

He says Arod will opt out, Joe will be gone as well after this season is over. He says Mets will find a way to win the world series.

David Gassko ran a piece on Wang at the Hardball Times last winter that said he should regress to the mean. I don't have the article at my disposal, but from what I remember, he forgot two main factors: the ridiculous groundball rate, and his very low line drive rate. Those two should keep him ahead of hitters. I absolutely agree, Mike. David Gassko ran a piece on Wang at the Hardball Times last winter that said he should regress to the mean.
