ESPN the Magazine’s MLB Preveiw section is just awesome. I can not take enough of this infographic of just how awful Strasburg’s mechanic is…, eh, I mean how awesome Maddux’s is (OK, That’s better).
Maddux's spine is straighter; he's stable on his back leg with his head and spine over his center of gravity. Strasburg's spine is at 11 o'clock, and his back leg is straight. He's striding too far toward the righthand batter's box. He then has to literally fight across his body toward home plate. He's out of sequence: His shoulders are already pinching back to throw, but his front foot hasn't yet hit the ground." says Paul Reddick.

I been tweeting nonsense since May 19, 2007 (over 4 years, can you believe that?). I put weekly digests of my tweets on my blog, so that I can search for it quicker using my blog’s search function. I tweet awfully a lot about baseball (I am a Red Sox fan), but if you are interested, please follow me at @DaigoFuji. Here are my tweets:

Interesting story in the Globe: “Valentine says he can turn Daisuke Matsuzaka around”
“The biggest difference I think with Bobby is he knew me when I was in Japan and he knew how I pitched when I was at my best,’’ Matsuzaka said through interpreter Jeff Cutler. “So having him see that and having him see me now – when I’m not at my best and when I’m still working on my mechanics and trying to get back to my best – it’s good to know that someone is familiar with the differences in those areas.
“In that way, I’m very lucky.’’
…
Valentine offers pointers based on what he remembers of him as a successful pitcher. While Valentine never thought of Matsuzaka as dominant, he remembers him as a competitive pitcher who never gave in to a batter and didn’t nibble at the corners the way Matsuzaka has been wont to do the last couple of years.
…
Valentine has urged Matsuzaka to be more like the pitcher he was in Japan, to use his entire repertoire and pitch the way he feels most comfortable. He feels Matsuzaka could give the team a shot in the arm when he returns.
There are report that he has reached 92 miles an hour in a simulated game against minor leaguers. He could be back on the major league mound by June 1. We’ll see.

See the PDF version of first Boston Globe here. Happy Birthday to the Boston Globe. It started 140 years ago today — on Monday, March 4, 1872. Originally called “The Boston Daily Globe,” it was eight pages and featured no photos, no infographics. ;)

Can’t tell you how cool this is!

It covers Nippon Professional Baseball from 1936 to 2011. I tried to incorporate some of the proposals put forth by this group in design of the database with respect to franchises and multilingualism. The database itself is a set of CSV files so they may be imported any RDBMS or spreadsheet program. I plan on continuing to update and maintain it. For those interested, it can be downloaded from here, while an online version is here. Hopefully some of you find it to be useful.

So, Valentine announce that there will be no beer in the Red Sox clubhouse. Not to stir up controversy or anything, but Bobby Valentine was a big deal in Japan, and had his own beer, called bobeer from Sapporo and did this TV commercial for Orion Beer:
