Is this a new way of displaying Pitch F/x or just something new altogether?

Sigh.
This space for lease. Contact within.
On the other hand
the Astros are having problems scoring runs. So we just need to get into the Houston bullpen with the game tied 0-0 in the ninth, and we’re good.

Norris will have 50 pitches
through three. So maybe the lineup can get back into the swing by the seventh or eighth inning.
by Michael_68_1999 on Apr 15, 2010 2:31 PM EDT reply actions
Things that are hilarious:
Pedro Feliz playing first base.
I mean, seriously, the guy barely hits well enough to justify his existence at third. At first, he’s laughable.
anyone who bats third in a lineup
qualifies as a good enough hitter to play first

I loved in the fan post when someone said Walken for Dave Duncan, because that lends itself to some great comedy.
Scene 1. Brad Penny, played by Seth Rogan, talking to Dave Duncan played by Walken
Duncan: Now Brad, you’re going to get caught up in the heat of the game, and want to throw it by guys… Don’t do it. We pitch to contact here… and it works.. just fine.
Penny: I have a good fastball with good velocity. Why can’t I just fire it bye him?
Duncan: Whoa Whoa Whoa! What is this madness… I’m hearing. Listen here young man. You need to GET with the program. Guys like you are a dime a dozen. But if you stick with me, before this season is over, you’ll be wearing a gold plated jock-strap.

walken may have been channeling duncan his whole life

i probably envision casting this more like RDCardsfan (in fact, it may be me he’s referring to, because i remember thinking duncan/walken but don’t know if i ever typed it) – for example, been wondering who plays oquendo, and i’m picturing it benicio del toro (is that his name – usual suspects?) telling pinata in that incomprehensible lingo that he won’t be pitching in the WBC, and pinata a crestfallen ralph macchio type.

Question
I am restricted to GameDay. How do you reach on a fielding error by the leftfielder with two outs and only make it to first? Did Felipe loaf into first?
The time has come for someone to put his foot down and that foot is me
At this point...
I just want the Cards to keep forcing Norris into deep counts.
If he leaves by the middle of the 6th or so….
We MIGHT just stand a chance.
At this rate, I don't think he's even gonna make it to the 6th.

"But listen, and understand: more Molinas are out there..." - THT
I'm still high on him
If anyone mentions the word “Chris Perez” on here everyone balls with fear of him turning into a dominant closer……..Boggs is pretty much the same guy and might even have an extra mph. He’s gotta figure out the command, but you can’t teach 97 and a sweeping slider.
Not afraid to nitpick
i'm right with you
i’d still prefer Boggs to Perez any day.

But similar stuff right now.

he's missing a few things
1. a mullet
2. 6 inches
3. throwing left handed
4. control so wild batters actually fear for their lives
i firmly believe #4 has a lot to do with Randy’s early success
"The outfield is deep and playing him straight-away, and the infield is the same, except first, second, third, and short are playing him to pull."
-Mike Shannon
I know what you're saying
But Randy was a 6’11 lefty throwing 100 with an 80 slider while starting……..not quite 95-97 in relief from a righty.
Not afraid to nitpick
90 slider
"The outfield is deep and playing him straight-away, and the infield is the same, except first, second, third, and short are playing him to pull."
-Mike Shannon
ah.
yes. sorry, the 100 in reference to the fastball confused me

I kinda wish he'd abandon the whole looking towards 3B thing
They probably have to find something mechanical to figure out his control even if it’s placebo. He doesn’t know which side of the plate the ball is going to and that’s not gonna get it done. 97 with a slider is going to buy him opportunities but good god, he’s gotta figure out some semblance of command.

"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
i really hate every time Motte looks fantastic in a useless situation
makes me want him to be good in important situations.
"The outfield is deep and playing him straight-away, and the infield is the same, except first, second, third, and short are playing him to pull."
-Mike Shannon
How is Motte's FB velocity so inconsistent?
If he could just consistently be touching 97-98 I think he’d be fine but he comes to the park with 94 way too much. He can throw a 92 mph cutter today and half the time that’s what his FB is.
Not afraid to nitpick
yeah, i was wondering the same thing.
although i don’t think he’d be “fine” consistently touching 98, because his fastball would remain flat and control-free
"The outfield is deep and playing him straight-away, and the infield is the same, except first, second, third, and short are playing him to pull."
-Mike Shannon
98 flat and control free > 94 flat and control free
He’s developed the off-speed stuff to the point where he can get the job done if he has 97.
Not afraid to nitpick
uh, what? he has?
when did that happen, pray tell? maybe he developed the cutter/2seamer a bit, but that’s certainly not offspeed
"The outfield is deep and playing him straight-away, and the infield is the same, except first, second, third, and short are playing him to pull."
-Mike Shannon
He's got the slider thing that isn't good
But it can get the job done. He’s going to be a FB dominant pitcher, which is fine so long as he actually has a killer fastball.
Not afraid to nitpick
sure
but i don’t see how it can “get the job done”, when he can’t hit the strike zone, it is telegraphed every time he throws it, and it varies as to even what it is day in and day out
"The outfield is deep and playing him straight-away, and the infield is the same, except first, second, third, and short are playing him to pull."
-Mike Shannon
But at least he's willing to try something new.

Regarding Freese
I don’t get to watch many Cards games as an out-of-market fan, but does he have any potential for pop in his bat? Not that I mind ‘decent average, occasional walk’, just curious if he can give the team anything beyond that, offensively.
freeze pop
yes
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
Yeah
He hit I think it was about a 430 foot home run last year and can be a 20 HR type guy in a perfect world but as of now is probably more like 15. He is what he is, a very average player who costs nothing. .270/.330/.440 with averageish defense is all they need.

"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
Motte's Pitches
I was at the game today and got some information on what he’s throwing.
During his warm-ups he definitely indicated a…
1. Fastball.
2. Slider/ Cutter.
3. Curveball
I also thought I saw indicators for a change and 2-seamer, but I’m not sure since I was distracted.
Got some good video of both Pujols hits.
Largely crappy game, however.
so motte's problem isn't that he doesn't have a second pitch
it’s that he has too many pitches?
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
I think there's something to that
Especially if he’s playing with 5 pitches and not just 3.
There have been many great, successful 2-pitch relievers.
they don't speak to him clearly out of the glove.
he’s trying to boost the signal.

if we're going to lay anything on big mac
might just as well be our 6-3 record
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
Oh im not laying anything on him
I love the big guy with his little notes and glass in the dug out and talking to hitters after at bats. Im just interested to see how he does…you know the game within a game…

6 hits, 2 doubles, 3 BB, 1 reached on error
its not like we didn’t get on base. You should be able to squeeze more than 1 run out of that, the Cards just have a frustrating propensity (ok…it probably just seems like a propensity because it so infuriates me when it happens) to not string the hits together.
they left 2 baserunners, we left 8, iirc the article i linked about 20 comments up
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
I'm just going to pretend it didn't happen
since I didn’t really see it. I finally have mlb.tv now though, got to see that throwback pads vs braves game. Troy Glaus is even taller than I remember. now watching Dan H_ren carve up the dodgers. love watching that guy pitch.
Lohse did well today, and Freese seems to get some clutch rbis. that is good.

been some talk on here about dodgers fans
could it be the tailgating?

if we do i know a 4-yr old that'd be willing to sign for the right price
which i’d have to negotiate as higher than a 5-yr old’s price.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
he can't field like that kid yet though
maybe when he’s 5, but for now i might have to sign him to the AL
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
true
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
plus he has the requisite grit for 2B
he saw one of those outdoor cages that are usually accompanied by a go-kart track (as this one was) and wanted to hit it. it was one of those metal arms and a little wild. got hit in the hands a couple times on his swing (the yellow dimpled balls), and cried a little, but wanted to keep hitting – that qualifies as grit i think.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
Does he have to protect against a change-up?
This kid’s just doing what hitters do to Motte’s FB; starting their swing early and timing it out.
wasn't that obvious? that's why it was funny to me.
the kid was basically spinning after his swing, he just makes contact really.
So you're saying the kid could hit Motte?

no way
motte couldn’t put it close to the same spot every time.
btw, bottom 9 in LA – good game.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
nope
he was great, but dodgers just got 2 in bottom of 9th with 2 outs to tie – bases loaded now.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
yep, well aware of him
now all he has to do is hit so we can see it in the on-deck circle.

wow, you see that play by upton?
1B took a shot though.

stephen drew made just about the worst throw I've ever seen

i think it left the stadium

just noticed that
i was commenting below. heh – where art thou, brian barton?
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
i was puzzled
till i figured out inning.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
isn't that generally
when Dodgers fans start trickling out. I mean, they’ve probably had to endure an ining or two of baseball by then. Pish posh!
sounds like they start so early with the tailgating
4th inning is about the time to leave. i posted the link somewhere, but if you didn’t see it, check out the fanhouse article in the right margin, with the video of security taking that dude out of the parking lot. the commentary by the cameraman was pretty good.

sportspickle cardinals preview is up today
didn't they already do this?
You know what the Cardinals should do? Get five really good starting pitchers.

list of NL teams with a remarkably better rotation than the cardinals
the atlanta braves
and
"We were men - flesh and blood - and we played baseball in the sunshine. We hit doubles off the wall, slid hard into second base. We had fights, and we made love. We sang songs and prayed on Sundays. . . . We felt pain. And we felt joy. There was a lot wrong with the world. But we weren't sad, man. We had the times of our lives." Buck O'Neil, from "The Soul of Baseball: A Road Trip Through Buck O'Neil's America."
we could be neck-and-neck with the braves at the end
depending on jurrgens health somewhat. i think we beat them on offense and defense, and they get the nod with the pen. if they were in our division, that would be a good race. as it stands, i still take them to miss out on the wildcard by one spot.
"Some days I feel like the hypotenuse in a love triangle; others as if my lucky number is pi."
also, point of order:
if albert pujols is batting, matt holliday will be on deck, not on the bench. so he would get up off the bench to murder the pitcher, he would charge out of the on-deck circle.

Buck O'Neil, from "The Soul of Baseball: A Road Trip Through Buck O'Neil's America."
and with his salary
although it could reasonably be expected of holliday to perform this duty, isn’t it generally in the backup catcher’s contract to do said dirty work – like larue’s primary function?

pretty crappy article
imo

are the fsn mw cardinals home games blacked out?
They shouldn't be......
That’s your local FS affiliate…my parents get all of the mariners games without having to have the EI package.

Also, Dave Concepcion.
this is a d'back clusterfuck
wouldn’t doubt if he balks the run in – nope, a hit to win it – i think that was friggin’ blaine boyer – does he pitch for arizona? – yeah, vin just said, blaine boyer for the loss.

ok, this was before they beat us today
but still pretty funny: In a comment on the Houston Chronicle’s website, one fan suggested that the newspaper put the daily Astros score on its obituary page.
