Yay for Balfour!
Sign lady must die.

I'm annoyed by Michel Hernandez getting credit for Price's start.

I'm sure Hernandez being there made Price's fastball/slider better.
by R.J. Anderson on Jul 9, 2009 3:41 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Saved that wild pitch by Balfour.
I’m not so certain Navvy gets that one.

the high pitch right?
I agree

That's not Price's start though.
by R.J. Anderson on Jul 9, 2009 3:45 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
Who was giving him credit?
just curious
Kap-rilla???

Defense has nothing to do with pitching.
He’s getting credit for Price throwing the ball to spots.

Exactly.
Price locates down and away and Kennedy remarks about how well Hernandez framed that pitch, well when you don’t have to move the glove…

have we talked to the injuns about Shoppach?
he went to the plate with bases loaded twice so far today.
first time up he homers,
then he walks.
thats 2 GIDP for navi.
plus they have Carlos Santana tearing up AA.
lets get er done. or Napoli, or Mathis. or Salty.
by daveh33 on Jul 9, 2009 3:40 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
oh lord, i don't want shoppach. he wouldn't be any improvement over navarro at all
by yeseggs on Jul 9, 2009 3:43 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
he's gonna bounce back
and his value is down now with his first half slump
by daveh33 on Jul 9, 2009 5:14 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
You could say the same about Navi
by nolesblogger on Jul 9, 2009 5:47 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
no.
Navi’s 08 is the outlier. and i’m not saying we trade him [since his value is down] …
by daveh33 on Jul 9, 2009 5:58 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs
I would agree
But there is a case to be made

The Blue Jays will look up and shout,"Save us!"
And David Price will say,“No.”

And Gabe Kapler will say, "No, you nutjobs don't understand...
…you’re stuck in here with ME."

Nice!
Another one run victory. At least our bullpen couldn’t blow this one, though they tried their best.

I'm not sure how I feel about the wide plate, it seemed consistent, but we couldn't get a low strike to save our lives

Are these normalized graphs
ever reviewed by MLB or umpires after the season? Wonder what kind of feedback they use to grade out the umps

That's kind of crazy.
Wasn’t the change-up that was the problem against Texas, though. Maybe he just does a better job locating his fastball without having to think about it.

Gameday didn't classify any, but there were 5.
Check the speed v. movement charts on Brooks, five pitches moved as much as fastballs and had velos sub-85.

It could be a slider
gameday was calling sliders around 85.
Come ON Pat the Bust, Navi can not have more homers than you

No it couldn't.

Sliders and fastballs move very differently.

Thank you Toronto for participating in the 2009 Major League Baseball regular season contest.
You won’t be moving on to the next round, but we have some nice consolation prizes for you, as well as a copy of the home game.
I can't wait until we trade him for a reliever.

Also attendance > 25,000?
Wow. That’s an outlier.

15,252.
Which is much more in line for a Toronto game. This is a Thursday, and a getaway game. That’s huge attendance.

ERR not a getaway game.
Well, it’s getaway for Toronto, but regardless, really high attendance for a game like this.
