Don't disagree too much, but if he's the #1, whoever picks second should look long and hard at George Selvie.

On the thread topic, I have mlb.tv and my major gripe this year is the delay. When I'm watching the game and game threading, I'm browsing actively and following the game on Gameday to see the pitch f/x data. Gameday is about 15 seconds behind realtime, and the stream is about 15 seconds behind that, so I know what happens before I see it. It's frustrating, and it's worse this year than in previous years.

I don't know if she's PM'd you yet, but most digital ready TVs come with a monitor jack in the back. Connect to the stream, put your computer near the TV, and connect the TV with a monitor cable. It doesn't trasmit the sound signal, so you'll need speakers plugged into the computer's audio jack.

People always talk about Cust as the ultimate active TTO hitter, but I think Pena could challenge him for that title. His swing is such a massive uppercut that most of his good contact leaves the park, and he does K and BB a ton. Of course, as I'm typing this, he levels it out and ropes a double after fouling off a couple he tried to jack.
-
Is there any way Pena doesn't run into one here?
-
Hold the f***ing line. Oh, that's right, Hunter Jones, our bullpen savior, is pitching. I'm so glad we got to call up this "depth" while Bard has struck out a small army in 15 innings down in Pawtuckett.
-
That should be it for Kazmir. Even though the difference is 5, I like our chances in a bullpen battle.
-
Score Lowell here, and we are looking at a ballgame, especially if they can run Kazmir and get into the pen before the end of the 6th.

I took a trip up to the store, was the Navarro seeing-eye single playable? The Rays radio guys made it sould like the play could have been made and would have been a DP. Everything that followed goes away, IMO, if they turn two there.
-
"You could almost give two errors on that throw" How about just calling it a two-base error? Oh, and Bailey really didn't muff up there too much, IMO. The throw would have missed Burrell without him raising his hands during the slide, but when his arm went up, it just happened to be in the wrong place for the throw to get through. Bad luck.
-
Cue the crazy sax.
-
6 pitch inning. Nice. The guy threw 47 in the first two, and the hack attack commences.
-
For f***s sake Lester, walking Crawford was so successful in the 1st inning, why are heading down this path again? Nevermind, nice comeback.
-
Dammit Welke, that hasn't been a strike for either pitcher yet. Now you give it to Kazmir at 3-0, probably only because it was 3-0, and it turns into an out. I hate the assumed strike on 3-0. Oh, and... http://thesportshernia.typepad.com/blog/images/2007/06/03/rosenthal_is_a_pop_up_beaver_2.jpg

JfC, spit out your stupid story you hobbitt, so they can go back to covering the game.
-
Woonsocket Rocket!
-
That's a HR if you didn't do that stupid Japanese s*** where LH batters are on the way out of the box as they swing.
-
Great, now it's up to Lowell. We do this with Kazmir every time we face him. He sucks balls and can't locate anything in the 1st, we get the table all set, and then people start chasing when he's already had control problems. See, f*** off Lowell.
-
Yeah, it took the announcers awhile to notice that. I thought I saw him run into Barlett on the live action.
-
Lester is a stupid dickbag for walking Crawford on 4 pitches. The Longoria HR was just a piece of good hitting. The ball he hit out was 94 on the edge of the plate at the knees. Tip your cap, but it should only be 1-0. Lester's maturation into a "pitcher" is far from complete.
-
I don't see how/why it would change the O-swing%? That rate is what it is. Pitches are classified first as in the zone or out. When it's out of zone, regardless of how many in or out he sees, he's swinging just over 26% of the time. What I think would impact O-swing% would be the "Pitch Type" frequency. Swinging at FBs out of the zone is more excusable than swinging at breaking pitches, IMO, as their trajectory is easier on hand-eye coordination. Since he sees a good amount of FBs, this may account for him being slightly less selective than average. Of course, they don't break down pitch types into averages, so doing the exercise of finding correlation between O-swing% to FB% would be a time consuming endeavor, and I just don't care that much about it.

It's not just the speed. When there's a threat of extra bases, particularly of the ball leaving the park, pitchers are more cautious. Both factors combine to a situation where Jacoby is going to see a lot of strikes.
-
To be fair, if you are pitcher, do you throw a lot of balls out of the strikezone to a guy who's hitting .217 but has 50+ SB speed? Hard to walk when you see nothing but strikes, which is what's happening right now, and he's handling them. If he continues to, he'll see a more restrained approach from pitchers and have to adjust again. It's on him to do that.
