Wow. Only 3 guys in that lineup are hitting .250 and one will make his first at bats of the season.

My O's fan buddy laughed at me when I said the Rays were a 90-win team on opening day. He's right, they're looking more like a 105-win team.

On the subway today, a man came up to me to start a conversation. He made small talk, a lonely man talking about the weather and other things. I tried to be pleasant and accommodating, but my head hurt from his banality. I almost didn't notice it had happened, but I suddenly threw up all over him. He was not pleased, and I couldn't stop laughing.

Not to pile on, but Kapler hitting 3rd is really bizzare

Does he have great numbers against Lee or something?

Run differential by division

ALE: +132
ALC: -67
ALW: -65
NLE: 63
NLC: -151
NLW: 88

The Blue Jays would be in first place in both the AL & NL Central. This division is full on nasty at this poing.

Velocity splits by inning?

I don’t have it, but it’s definitely been true for a not insignificant percentage of his starts. I won’t say all, but his velocity has tended to increased through the course of the game.

by sstamour on May 16, 2010 1:49 PM EDT up reply actions  

Frankly, I don't see it

This was from my RI analysis on Garza so only includes the first 4 starts. It looks like he has more of a straight fall off, vs. the more general, buildup, peak, fall-off approach.

Also of note: we haven’t seen fox trax, which has shown to be pretty comparable to gameday. My guess is there’s something wrong with the TV version right now and they’ve reverted to the hardware they used last year, which gave the indication that velocity was universally down last year.

Really?
The character John Preston (Christian Bale) demonstrates this technique in Kurt Wimmer’s Equilibrium (2002). Wimmer made gun fu literally a martial art—"Gun Kata"—within the world of Equilibrium. Preston also has special devices mounted into his sleeves/wrists that feed the magazines smoothly into the weapon, but the gun kata itself provides him with optimum firing angles as well as defensive postures, which means he hits his targets and rarely gets hit.

"Will Cocktease for $16 Million"

On the subway today, a man came up to me to start a conversation. He made small talk, a lonely man talking about the weather and other things. I tried to be pleasant and accommodating, but my head hurt from his banality. I almost didn't notice it had happened, but I suddenly threw up all over him. He was not pleased, and I couldn't stop laughing.
