St. Louis Cardinals 5 at Washington Nationals Lohsed

Now that his K:BB ratio is 22:4 I think I will spend the next week or so not complaining about Kyle Lohse's contract. It's really impossible to overstate how good he's been compared to how bad he was, especially because he's just never been this good; his outstanding start to 2008 was in part a trick of peripherals and an especially striking first-half win-loss record. The last time he pitched remotely like this in the FIP-diehard sense he was allowing 21 runs in 30 midsummer innings that year, with a K:BB ratio of 5.0 but six home runs allowed.
In 2010 his best four-start run involved two quality starts, seven unearned runs, and an ERA of 4.50 across 22 innings.
I thought it was foolish for the Cardinals to rely on Kyle Lohse for anything at all this season. It turns out they had to, and he's managed to justify it, at least this month.
Meanwhile, Albert Pujols's OPS has topped .800, hopefully for good. He's now hitting .247/.314/.494, on pace for nine doubles and 51 home runs. Who knew that decline-phase Albert Pujols looked so much like Jose Bautista?

what strikes me as different about this year's version of kyle lohse, even compared to his 2008 season, is that his "stuff" looks good.
maybe this is what you’re getting at danup, but i get the feeling, in hindsight, that lohse’s 2008 may have been aided a little bit by luck. i just don’t remember him ever looking like a DOMINANT pitcher before. but he pretty much has this year.

Not just him...
I thought Garcia was mostly lucky last year. That said, he had good stuff (better than Lohse in 2008) but not great. Now he looks a lot better.
My explanation – they’ve changed something with the baseballs to make them move better.

That's Daniel Bard striking out Nick Swisher in August of 2010.
I say this because I had no idea until I did a little digging.
7-2-5! Craig to Yadi to Descalso!
I am out of the closet as a member of the St. Louis Riot, 2011.
It's tough to remember now
But he looked awfully good at the beginning of ’09. When he got hit by that pitch, his whole season went straight to hell, but he was awesome in April (1.97 ERA)
I don’t think I ever remember him being quite this good, however.
He was a bit unlucky last year, which I think some people forget
Also, this year I think he’s changed his approach a bit.
He’s always been a FB/breaking ball guy who’d mix his changeup in a little against lefties. For his career, he’s thrown a breaking ball 28% of the time, versus just 12% changeups.
This season, the bits of games i’ve seen he seems to be throwing the change quite often against righties (he K’d a couple of Nats with it last night) and generally using it more. The stats bear that out – he’s thrown it 20% of the time so far, versus only 17% breaking balls. The change looks a real swing and miss pitch to me, which I’ve never thought is really the case with his slider.
Also, although I don’t put much stock in pitch-type linear weights, they suggest his changeup is his best pitch.
Ergo, I’m going to tentatively suggest that he’s using his best pitch more this year, and having some success doing so.
Still bitching to contact.

so are we to conclude
that albert’s head is on right now, and we’re in for a record-setting may from him? sure seems like he’s picking up the pitch a little quicker now (duh).

Btw
He’s almost caught up. We took him for his dr’s appointment and he has officially doubled his weight. He’s now 7.5 lbs and 19 3/4 inches. So he’s the size he would’ve been at full term. You wouldn’t know it to look at him that he was ever in the shape that he was. It’s absolutely mind-blowing to think about.

Honestly, the first I heard of them was because wires was a free download on Itunes
I liked the song but didn’t really listen to anything else from them. Then I heard they were coming to the us on tour and were doing a show in a nearby town. Started really listening to them then, and I’ve seen them live twice since then.

yeah, in that case, it was a terrible choice not to walk Kemp
in our case, not walking Kemp was the right choice- assuming the pitcher doesn’t groove him 3 “beach ball” non-sinkers.
It's 7:05 somewhere...
three 91 release/ 85 mph final 2 seamers out of 5 pitches, end point +/- 3 inches, ~1 inch vertical
~5 inches movement, with the two non-grooved pitches being very wide.

maybe i need to have the hopslam fresher
i doubt the bottle i had was even remotely fresh being as i am on the east coast. if it’s really that citrusy that would be a flavor note that would die pretty fast. i don’t remember the citrus flavors being any more than the average IPA.

yup
i understand what you’re saying, i’m pretty sure- i have had a lot of DIPAs. two comments:
first, like i said earlier, i think it is entirely likely that i just haven’t had fresh hopslam, and my opinions of it are colored by that.
secondly: in my experience, it is hard to sequentially taste DIPAs as your taste buds just get obliterated by hops. the ruination is the worst beer i have ever had in this respect. i can usually drink another beer after the 90, but not the ruination. try both of them as a beer earlier in the night sometime (as long as you liked them).
Aaron Rowand reaches on a fielder's choice out, left fielder Allen Craig to catcher Yadier Molina to third baseman Daniel Descalso. Andres Torres out at home. Aaron Rowand to 2nd on the throw. Two out.
I would definitely agree
I had the hopslam first. It tasted incredible. The 90 tasted good. Plenty of flavor just not the dynamics of the hopslam. The ruination, third for the night, was definitely the most bitter of all. Had great flavor, but again not the dynamics of the hopslam. I will definitely try the ruination and 90 again with a fresh palate to get a fare comparison.

i have tickets for my wife and i in the b.o.a. suite for tomorrow night. assuming the game will be in rain delay and eventually postponed, what are my options? do they serve the meal and rinks anyway, until the ppd announcement is made, or what? i have no clue, and will be spending 5 hours on the road to get there and will will be po’d if i can’t even get in a gate. spending the night in my sister’s in stl, so would be able to attend half a doubleheader, if that’s what happens, on saturday. any input from someone who may have any insight would be greatly appreciated.

velocity can help or hurt
Aerodynamic forces act on a ball as a function of velocity squared. Movement is a function of drag, off-axis to the plane of momentum, created by asymmetric shape of baseball, and things like spin, which creates vortices. Moving faster can add movement, but only if it’s spinning fast enough.
It's 7:05 somewhere...
generally speed subtracts movement because it reduces the time allowed for the movement to occur.

I can't believe the speed is 99.
That’s basically the exact movement you’d expect from a tilt-y splitter or a hard screwball. No way that pitch is moving faster than 90, let alone 99.
http://fuckyeahnouns.com/alex%20fritz
Is that just the very high vertical break just tilted because of the arm slot?
