I have noticed the past week or so that Jorge Posada has been using a Mizuno bat. I know this is a long a shot but has anyone been able to notice if it is a Matsui bat or if he is using one of his own model? Never seen him use Mizuno before. I have been looking on Getty, but there aren't any pictures where you can make out the barrel.

Steve,
Its more than likely a Matsui bat as Posada has been known to use
Matsui's bats from time to time.
Here is a picture of a Matsui bat used by Posada that we handled
a couple of years back.
Thanks again for the jersey..:)

Here's the best screenshot I could get of the barrel.......it's pretty hard to read.

Picture from Jully 22nd shows that the bat broke so it may hit the open market sometime soon

Great screen shots. I have seen him using a Mizuno as recently as yesterday which means he is really digging the Matsui's and is going back for more after he breaks one or he got some of his own. With a little luck I will get my hands on one.

The Mizuno's he has been swinging of late are flame finished, Matsui swings a natural finished bat. I'm guessing these are Posada's own bats or possibly some pro stock models.

Good eye Nick. Plain as day and I didn't notice it. Thanks!

I actually noticed that Posada started using Mizuno's myself and Nick beat me to the punch as I was going to say the same thing.

Which he is right, they are flame finished which is Posada's preference on a Natural bat.

Which would lead me to believe these were specifically made for Posada.

Several of you guys have great shots posted from games. How do you get the pictures?

I don't own a HDTV set. Instead, I watch HDTV programming (and record the free-to-air games) on my computer. I use a Pinnacle UBS tuner and a small antenna that I place by the window. I watch and record TV shows using this free program:

I play back the recorded programs on Zoom Player Max v.6, which is also free. I also use it to make the screengrabs. I then dump the screengrabs into MS Paint, to re-size them. Hope this helps.
