Any ideas why Santana has given up more homers the last two years?
by seattlebruin on Jun 23, 2008 3:20 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Actually, never mind, looks like he's on pace for
~29 this season, after 33 last year and low-mid 20’s the previous couple years
by seattlebruin on Jun 23, 2008 3:26 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
I looked at the 11 home-run balls off Santana for which we have PITCHf/x data, and I couldn’t detect any useful patterns. They were mostly hit off pitches up and over the plate, but that doesn’t come as much of a surprise. Looking at the HitTracker data, he wasn’t burned by many short home runs barely sneaking over the fence, so he wasn’t unlucky in that regard, at least. This may be a topic for further investigation or possibly just the result of Santana being a fly ball pitcher and getting a little unlucky with how hard the hitters hit 33 of those fly balls in 2007.

Watching Morrow pitch

And since he hasn’t pitched in awhile, I’d put my money on the team sending him out there regardless of save situation.

You know
Everytime the team Johan Santana on the run the manager makes stupid decisions.
- Mariners had a 3-1 lead against him last year in the late innings. McLaren calls on the recently-acquired John Parrish to blow it.
- Jose Lopez hit a 2-run homerun and drew a walk against Santana one time in 2006. Hargrove spent the rest of the game having Lopez bunt runners over (with little success).
Don’t screw this up, Riggleman.

Where the fuck was the 1-2?
If you answered “right down the middle” you are correct.

I saw Sims in the airport last year, and his head is huge in person.
It’s actually pretty disconcerting. He wasn’t wearing a hat though, so that was a bummer.

I've grown used to having the team be ignored
by the national media. But it still bothers me that a match-up like this, and the upcoming Felix/Peavy match, is getting less attention than a Mussina/Lester game would.

I’m guessing the first one will be a strikeout on 3 pitches.

Double in the gap. He then stretches it in to three bases
and they overthrow at third, allowing him to score.

Ballgame.
Though that could change by the end of the game.
If Willie could turn into new Rich Amaral and be a .350/380 OBP/SLG hitter, he becomes fairly useful as a bench guy, instead of a 25th man on the roster.
He’s kind of missing the XBH right now, though.
