5/31 @ the Bronx Zoo

[Thunder]

Definitely a slider, he only throws two pitches.

 

Had enough break to be a curve.

[jacksonianmarch]

That's a ball

[Station 13]

That's a ball

 

now don't say that with Mo coming in.

[Station 13]

Why is Miller in long sleeves in this heat?

 

his gameday photo is hilarious.

[jacksonianmarch]

Mo has earned it. Miller hasnt

[Station 13]

Mo has earned it. Miller hasnt

 

Shut up.

Right. Because f*** an objective strike zone. GTFO

[Standing Room]

Good outing by Sabathia.

[User Name]

Fatty looks like he'll be pretty good even with diminished velocity

I'm just calling it like it is. Stop pretending like you don't know it

[wyo-sox]

I hate hate hate the idea umps have different strike zones for different pitchers. I know it happens, but it just seems wrong.

[User Name]

Doesn't make it right, no matter the team.

[jacksonianmarch]

He added a 2 seamer. I hadn't seen that in awhile. He has to keep moving the fastball around the zone and putting a cut and a run on it to stay successful. When you're throwing 97 from a 6'7" frame, you don't have to do that as much. When you're throwing 91, you better

[User Name]

What i've seen different from Iglesias is that even though he still swings a lot, he's swinging at a lot less junk than before. It seems like he mostly swings at strikes now.

[Standing Room]

Sabathia's gotten off to slower starts than this before. But this year seems different with the 3 mph drop in velocity.

[RabbitIYH]

Also, I really like Eck in the booth.

[jacksonianmarch]

That pitch to Nava was a makeup pitch. That wasn't even close

This umpire's been all over the place. I don't think it's had a large influence on the game so far though. It's much more annoying when the bogus calls are strike threes with men on base.

Yes, it is. Nava is arguing about that final pitch, which was a strike, but strike 2 was garbage

[Standing Room]

Yup, definitely a strike. It feels different when you're up there as a hitter though, your strike zone can get screwy if the pitcher's throwing to both sides of the plate.

It can get screwy if the umpire was rubbish all night.

[jacksonianmarch]

Yeah, he's giving the outside and the floor

[Standing Room]

I'm sure the strike zone will change drastically when Rivera comes in. Over/under - Rivera gets 1.5 "bonus" strike calls according to pitch f/x. I'm gonna go with over.

[Standing Room]

Teixeira looks like he's in mid-April form.

Mortensen first strikeout since May 12th.

[Standing Room]

On the bright side, Mariano hasn't recorded an out in six days. On the not so bright side, he'll probably retire the side in less than 10 minutes.

[jacksonianmarch]

Wow

[Standing Room]

There's gift strike number one...

[Station 13]

f*** you blue. Your strikezone gotten bigger it might hit your vagina behind there.

[a700hitter]

More like 10 pitches.
