I <3 him. If I could have BJ, Justin and Strasburg on my team, I would be okay if that was my entire roster.
Tools Whore
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.
"Where we all wait in earnest with pudding in hand for the Upton comet to sail through the roofed skies, so that we may meet Him."
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.

I'm beginning to think the Trop's gun is slow.
by R.J. Anderson on May 7, 2009 7:28 PM EDT up reply actions
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
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.
Tools Whore
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.
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
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.
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?

Do you even bother sending him out in the 5th or do you just go ahead and go to Cormier?

Holy shit.
God damn it Niemann.
"Where we all wait in earnest with pudding in hand for the Upton comet to sail through the roofed skies, so that we may meet Him."
Depends
If he has control in the 4th (yeah right) and puts up a goose egg, you probably keep him out there
Niemann's best chance to get to the 5th
is the Yankees doing that RISP thing we do too often

Shields tomorrow? In Fenway?
We need Niemann to pitch 9, because we’ll need the entire bullpen for tomorrow.

In fairness
I’ve never seen him look this bad. He’s been flat out decent a few times this season
This bad though?
He got crushed, but I don’t remember him being this wild
Yeah he wasn't wild.
He was hitting bats early and often.

The walks aren't great and he doesn't strike guys out.
Plus he’s never been a groundball pitcher.
I’m not entirely sold, no, but his history of results suggest he’ll be ~average.

Niemann has developed a new fantastic strategy
Pitch ‘em where they ain’t!
That seems really low.
I would have thought it would have been much higher. Every time he puts the ball in play it seems like he’s making solid contact.

Honestly, his stat lines look a lot like Zobrist’s are supposed to look like.
