So is anyone interested in going to the Social Media Night
I think I am going to go but would like to sit with other people. The tickets are cheap at only $15 and we get to see the Padres.
I asked Matt Leach since he is attending

I mean
he did that with an undiagnosed pitching arm injury. Think about that. The Reds can hit and he kept them pretty much in check. If the guy can get back on track he is going to help a shitload.

Is another perfect example as to why W-L is meaningless. He is 1-10 with a 3.90 ERA. Now, that’s with a 4.95 xFIP, though, so hopefully we can help him regress tonight.

So, compartment syndrome is now usually
found in forearms of pitchers….
The players had swelling in their triceps – an unusual spot for compartment syndrome, Geier said. This condition is usually seen in the legs of runners or forearm of pitchers.
No mention of moto-cross riders.

I’m surprised that this is now an injury usually found in pitchers, now that one guy had it.

the writing is pretty awful in the article
not a surprise that they blew it on associating the injury with pitching. Especially since Lohse’s injury was a freak thing.

he wasn't moving his pitching arm *at all*
the delivery was a little awkward looking, but nothing obvs….then he jogged over to back up third on the single, and as soon as the play was over his arm went back to his side and it pretty much stayed there. Not really sure. I think the Pitt announcers said something about back spasms, but my feed’s audio was crapping out during that part.
Whatever happened in Cincinnati, stays in Cincinnati.
as he walked over the 3rd base line
you could see him inhale like you do when something hurts and you’re trying not to show it.

If you are going to buy a sports franchise, it’s not because you are desperate for a business opportunity, but the guy makes 5-15 million a year on the team, and doesn’t spend ANY money on it. That franchise deserves better (The fans anyway, I hate the city, especially Steeler fans)

if someone gets busted for DUI does that mean its just not socially acceptable to drink anymore?
i don’t understand this. just because he drank and drove doesn’t mean he’s an alcoholic and has to quit drinking…does it?
i’m genuinely interested in this. they make you go to AA meetings and stuff. why is it only the alcoholics who drink and drive and not some joe shmo who made a mistake?
"Did you just grow a mustache?"

well kind of
like we all were assuming he must be sober, and then you’re saying, actually he sounds drunk. and i guess we were all assuming he was sober because of what happened, and then that got me thinking…so it was tangentially related

in his last two starts (includes the Feet of Fury game), he’s given up 10 runs in 8 1/3 IP, including five (5) homers.

I'm not sure what MLB's rationale for a measly one-start suspension could possibly be
It doesn’t take a genius to see that Cueto’s kicking was unbelievably dangerous and reckless. One start? Really?
Lohse is still barely throwing the curve,
and he’s only sitting ~90 with his fastball.

Well, they initially said around 4 days
so that means you triple it. So around 12 days later is a safe assumption, which would put him back in the lineup at the end of the week sometime.

What are the chances that Infante reaches the requisite
plate appearances? Dude’s hitting nearly .350, isn’t he?
We mock his all-stardom, but he’s been quite good.
Well he has to play basically every game now on till the end of the season to hit the requisite
And he has like a .400 BABIP now, so if he does play the rest of the way, I’m betting his BA drops down below Pujols’

needs 502
has 333. that’d be 169 to go, with 38 remaining Braves games.. possible, but probably fairly unlikely.

"If you’re a senior citizen going to Citi Field today, be careful because K-Rod might punch you in the face."
Caller:
"Nah, I wouldn’t worry about it Craig, the Mets haven’t beaten people in back-to-back games since June."
Mmm. Fair enough.
With Chipper out for year, though, he may well play every one of those games, hitting near top of lineup. It’s a definite possibility, in that regard.
but per wikipedia
From 1967 to the present, if the player with the highest average in a league fails to meet the minimum plate-appearance requirement, the remaining at-bats until qualification (e.g., 5 ABs, if the player finished the season with 497 plate appearances) are hypothetically considered hitless at-bats; if his recalculated batting average still tops the league, he is awarded the title. (This policy was invoked in 1981, securing Bill Madlock his third NL batting crown, and in 1996, when NL titlist Tony Gwynn finished the year with only 498 PAs.)
so i guess if Infante gets close and still is hitting .350, and Albert’s tops with like .320, he still takes it. annoying.

I guess it’s probably true that two quick trips to the DL with relatively few innings pitched doesn’t bode well. But I don’t have the slightest idea how normal or abnormal that is for young pitchers, or how serious/long-term the types of injuries he’s had tend to be.

kinda wonder about these high velocity starters. they flame out quick...
someone should tell him 95 with wicked movement would be just as good as 99 and maybe he won’t end up closing games for the Indians.
You fit into me
like a hook into an eye

it's his mechanics, though, isn't it?
would taking a few MPH off really help? i don’t really understand these things, but from what i do know, it doesn’t seem like it’s the velocity that’s hurting him, per se.

"If you’re a senior citizen going to Citi Field today, be careful because K-Rod might punch you in the face."
Caller:
"Nah, I wouldn’t worry about it Craig, the Mets haven’t beaten people in back-to-back games since June."
Well, the arm, with 'perfect' mechanics, tops out at 103 or something.
So even a slight variance for perfection could put a good deal of strain on it at 99-100. I dunno. I think dialing it down a tiny bit could help, perhaps, as long as he doesn’t lose movement, especially on his curve.
I don't know much about that but just seems like guys like Halladay make it farther with less.
You fit into me

Well nobody else is going to be able to replicate Halladay's command and movement

Mmm. I think they're pretty close, to be honest. I think Colby, when his legs are healthy, is slightly better, though.

I think Colby has slightly more range
but Jay has a better arm and better hands. It’s kind of a toss up to me
