Game 130 Open Thread: Nationals at Cardinals

Washington Nationals at St. Louis Cardinals, Aug 28, 2009 8:15 PM EDT


Lannan Smoltz
8-9, 4.03 3-5, 7.40

Lannan had a nice rookie season but has lost two strikeouts per nine in 2009—it's a wonder that he's maintained a decent-looking ERA with the Nationals' defense behind him, but he's done it. Happy Smoltz Day!

then you didn't even see the really expensive ones

like the Ed Hardy ones, over $100 easily. Even the t-shirts for Hardy, Affliction etc are in the 60-100 range. It astonishes me that people will pay that much to look like a total douche, and the fact that they do just ups their douche quotient. Anyway, nikestore.com’s clearance section always has a good selection, and every month or two they have a 20% off sale on top of that. That’s where I stock up on ’em.

KFC Has A Bacon Sandwich That Uses Fried Chicken As "Bread"

The sandwich consists of two fried chicken fillets wrapped around bacon, cheese and Colonel’s sauce. It apparently tastes like you think it would. An early-adopter explains:

That’s it? That is the sandwich? That’s not worth five dollars. Oh… oh my God. That is the best thing ever. I don’t know what “Colonel’s Sauce” is, but it is like a party in my mouth. This is completely worth the five dollars. Unfortunately I’m going to end up weighing 700 lbs after this, but it is simply amazing.

Considering "American Cheese" refers to something that does not fit the legal definition of cheese...

I shit you not.

From wikipedia.

Today’s American cheese is generally no longer made from a blend of all-natural cheeses, but instead is manufactured from a set of ingredients… It therefore does not meet the legal definition of cheese and must be labelled as “cheese product” or similar.

Natinals lineup

Harris 8
Orr 4 (MLB debut for this guy?)
Zimmerman 5
Dunn 3—> that’s a shame, I’d rather see him in the OF
Willingham 7
Dukes 9
Bard 2
Gonzalez 6
Lannan 1

Harris, Orr, Dunn, and Lannan are lefties, Bard switch hits. Smoltz was able to to pitch effectively to the Padres’ lefties (minus the one loud out to Adrian Gonzales), so if he’s able to get the Nat’s lefties out and we can get 5+ innings out of him I think we’re in good shape.

Splitters and changeups move in the same direction,

so gameday identifies most of them as changeups. You can tell by speed and spin on PFX whether they’re splits or not.

Not sure what you mean by L-shaped.

The break should be parabolic, but it would be sharper with a slower pitch (change/split) than a faster pitch like a sinker.

Anyhow, changes/splitters move the same direction as in, down horizontally from a fastball, in toward a same-handed batter. They also have similar speeds, and since changes are more common GD usually just goes with that.

dunno if we've come to a defnitive answer

but it is the almost anti-cycle of outcomes that usually represents Ankiel’s progression of PA’s in a game. Something like K, K looking, foul pop, infield pop. Maybe a weak grounder to second replaces one of those pops.

see the team takes quick shitty swings and keeps the score low while our pitcher keeps the game tight then when the other team threatens in the seventh inning, the opposing coach will pinch hit and Tony will be able to pull a double switch and get the lefty-lefty matchup. Aha, genius proven again.

Holliday: "Albert, Carp and I have been talking about it and we think we know what your problem is. You've been tipping your swings." I expect no further problems.

Remind me why Smotzl is out again?

Well at least one team is getting clutch hits

Just wish it was us at some point

We’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there.
