I <3 him. If I could have BJ, Justin and Strasburg on my team, I would be okay if that was my entire roster.

nothing he does surprises me
if he hits 15 home runs in June, I wouldn’t necessarily expect it, but it won’t surprise me

Christ.
The Royals keep winning. Suddenly there are Royals fans popping out of nowhere singing the praises of Willie 1000 OPS Fucking Bloomquist and Sir Sidney Honkballer Ponson. Oh and that Greinke guy.
Meanwhile, every game feels like an uphill battle for the Rays.
Please keep the ball in the yard tonight, Niemann.
Today, we are all Honkballers.

KC Fans aren't as Jaded as Rays fans
Once KC falls back to earth, so will the attendance.
In other news, Rays are ranked 16th in attendence at 26k + a game. But the bay area isn’t a culture for baseball so the team needs to move.

Must be why they won.
“It kind of seems like the intensity is really there with the crowd and whatnot,” Bannister said. “For a pitcher, you have to have that no matter what; you have to go out there and battle, no matter what team you’re facing, no matter what the crowd is like.”
Today, we are all Honkballers.

by R.J. Anderson on May 7, 2009 7:28 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
how do they get the velocity readings for pitch f/x
is it just from the stadium gun? I couldn’t imagine that as there are discrepancies at times. Then again, it is pitch fx
by Navi's_Navy on May 7, 2009 7:30 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
It's not a matter of a "slow gun." All of these guns are calibrated and accurate.
It’s where it’s aimed. If you aim at the pitchers release point, you’ll get the highest velocity reading obviously. The farther away, the slower it’s going to be.

by Tyler on May 7, 2009 7:30 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
The question then
is whether Jeff’s been throwing the same way to this point, or if he just feels better now, or if its just a faulty gun or what… 92-94 MPH fastballs and 82-84 MPH sliders are nice.
by Navi's_Navy on May 7, 2009 7:31 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
92-94 is more understandable than 89-91 in terms of the break he doesn't get.
Still don’t want him throwing it 70% of the time though.
by R.J. Anderson on May 7, 2009 7:32 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
MUCH more understandable
but I agree, he should probably experiment with the other stuff. I wouldn’t be surprised (if he gets a chance and if he doesn’t get injured) if he progressed with the offspeed stuff as either the fastball starts to get pounded (more than it already is) or a mental “next step” is taken. I hate to use the Grienke comps (as the stuff really isn’t comparable), but the increased use of other pitches has been a big part to his success thusfar.
by Navi's_Navy on May 7, 2009 7:35 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I'm thinking there's about a 2 MPH difference between the Trop's gun and other parks.
Although, who’s to say some guns aren’t fast?

I’ve only been listening to the game but I’ve caught 4-5 pitches that were clear strikes and the ump stood there like a McDonald’s employee when you give them $1.04 for a 0.79 cent bill

Got any relievers you’ll give up for Jeremy Sowers? You can keep Price’s arb dates pushed back and have a guy who’s at least not Niemann.

I’m not wasting my time on why he needs to throw non-fastballs again. There’s absolutely no reason to throw 72% fastballs when they have his lack of movement.
