Around SBN: The 2009-2010 Card Chronicle Big East basketball preview

Game 121 overflow

should be interesting to see who pitches the bottom of the 9th inning . . . . . assuming there is a bottom of the 9th. if there is, i vote for the old miami hurricane, chris perez.

cards lead it 3-2 at the stretch.

He's not pitching any better than usual

4K, 2BB, 1HR is pretty typical. The defense has been spectacular behind him, and the outfield wall is a long ways behind him.

And Pujols struck out for the third time in a game, tying a personal record (I think.)

his contact percentage

is the highest of his career—89.86%. He only swings and misses about 10% of the time. That is the lowest of his career. If he’s fooled more often, he’s still putting his bat on the ball more often as well.

by chuckb on Aug 11, 2008 10:50 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

holy crap

did i read that right? only 10% of the time when Albert takes a swing he misses the ball? that’s incredible.

i assume that counts foul balls & outs right?

by gdm426 on Aug 12, 2008 12:53 AM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

his plate discipline numbers are still incredible, though

it’s surprising because it seems anecdotally like he’s really expanding his zone, but he’s only slightly worse than he has been in the past, on the order of 1-2 balls per 100 pitches out of the zone. And he makes contact with over 95% of the ball in the strike zone- and 73% of the balls he swings at out of the zone- that’s just incredible.

heard from bernie today on Charlie steiner XM(not a bernie fan) that luddy was a 2nd round pick and everyone had high hopes but was hurt a lot..and major hurts too hip etc..almost left the game but his wife kept him going..the cards gave him a shot and he’s actually healhty. I hope for mathers sake he doesnt have to go through all that
