Other Stuff in Other Places

I've been pretty much on mute over here since posting the Nolasco stuff. Tending to some other gardens ... so today's post is about me and what I've been up to. My narcissism will return to its subtle state next time...

This week for the Hardball Times I've paid homage to Geoff Jenkins and Corey Patterson. A little PITCHf/x, a little run value, and hopefully a little bit of fun and food for thought.

At Beyond the Box Score, I posted some information last night on pitchers who debuted last week. That's going to be a weekly thing for me, and I post a few times a week at BtB pretty much at random. If you like flight path charts, you'll like this week's edition.

Last, and certainly not least, something new. Mouthpiece Sports (a Chicago sports site) has started a new Cubs blog. My first entry is about filling Zambrano's spot in the rotation. I'll be posting non-PITCHf/x type stuff over there regularly, along with another blogger to be named and MPS' Cubs correspondent, Sarah Spain. She's much prettier than I am, very smart and funny, and a total sports nut. Plus, she interviews players and other luminaries, you've probably seen some of her stuff at MPS or MLB.com. She live blogs home games from the press box, so you'll probably want to check that out. Her legit journalism skills and inside access will be a good counter-balance to the view from Mom's basement that I usually provide.
