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.

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.

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.

I blame the owner.

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)

Have the distinct odor of desparation to them, as they clearly don’t really have much to say about the team.

Also, one commercial uses hilariously backhanded quotes from Garrett Jones:

“As a player, you just want that opportunity. I think if you put up numbers, you show you can play, they’re gonna give you that opportunity”

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.

by Voxx on Aug 23, 2010 9:05 PM EDT up reply actions  

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.

Albert likes to pop down and away breaking pitches up to foul ground ~1st base.

Just feels incredibly common, even if it’s not.

I haven’t looked, but isn’t his O-Swing% wayyyy above the norm this season?

Fair enough - didn't mean to suggest you're out to lunch, just that I hope he's not a flash

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.

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.

by tehzachatak on Aug 23, 2010 9:09 PM EDT up reply actions  

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.

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

Jay played a few hits kinda badly in the SF series, that I think Colby might have been able to catch.

Nice clobber for Craig. Can't see the game. How close did Doumit come to catching the ball?

Years ago watched an Angels game when their phenom outfield named Rick Rheinhardt backed to the left field wall and jumped for a fly ball that went about twenty rows deep. Hilarious. . .
