First .gifs and now WE charts
Jeff best watch his back
Nice graphic on the strike zone.
HP umpire was seriously making calls completely at random.
You need an electron cloud map too – it’s not just that the strike zone was physically tiny, it was that it could appear or disappear at any point in between the batter’s boxes.
Triunfel breaks his leg, Tacoma loses in Sacto when R’s pitching gives up 9bbs to 1k, Clement is still 0-for-2009, and Garrett Olson might just suck. Hmm.
For the most part, what I saw was the ump being decently consistent pitch to pitch.
It was just a zone consisting of above the knees to the belt and no calls on the black.
Granted, I only saw about 6th inning on.
Same deal earlier too
RRS wasn’t as bad as his line suggests

That's a relief
I hate it when umpires are ridiculously stingy with balls and strikes. It makes the game go on forever and it’s like the pitchers can’t do anything about it.

I could be wrong, but just going off my eyes I thought RRS was terrible..
didn’t miss bats, wild as can be. I thought he got squeezed on a couple high strikes, but overall he was a mess in my opinion.
He was not good in the first or second.
He settled down in the third, but by then his pitch count was through the roof.
His anxiety was not aided by the fact the strike zone was the size of a thimble, though. Hopefully he comes out next time and is allowed to establish something.
In the 9th, the ump seemed to give Aardsma a few pitches on the outside
that he certainly didn’t give RRS/Jak or especially Kelley. It just looked like he expanded the zone a bit in the 8th and 9th, but who knows.
Obviously the umpire was paying too much attention to the velocity of the pitch

I like the upside-down chart.
Nice work.
Guys on the radio recap talking about how the Ms need to keep Endy in the lineup, in LF, and put Junior at DH. Good to hear.
Also, Lowe got Aardsma (first career save) with a shaving cream pie and has said he will keep JJ’s tradition going. I like it.
He got Shawn Kelley with one as well
Glad to see Lowe keeping it going

Will there be a re-cap today considering Jeff didn't see the game?
I hope so. It’s 7am here and I can’t sleep because I drank too much yesterday and I’m bored out of my skull!

I doubt it unless Jeff goes back and watches the archive.
Which would suck for him because this game blew to watch.
If there's a recap it won't be today

OK cheers: is there anything interesting to know about the game that you can think of?
How did this new Oakland pitcher perform?

This was a conversation between two people of culture
i know it’s hard for you to at least assume some veneer of civilised society, but couldn’t you at least try?

Only if you are uncivilised.

Screw the recap. There was nothing to take from this game other than Griffey walking three times
vs lefty pitchers. Aardsma providing the most uncomfortable six up, six down performence i can recall, and Endy and Yuni seemingly hitting the only hard hit balls all game for us.
Glad tomorrow is a day game cause this one was a real ugly game, and from what I saw vs Minnesota we’re better than that
About the only good thing about being a baseball fan in the UK is that we are too unimportant for MLB to impose internet blackouts on.
Of course, this ignores the fact that there is no free-to-air baseball on our screens this year for the first time since the mid 90’s!

Nope, five pulled it and the rest of their US sports coverage citing the recession.
The reality is that recent legislation changes about the amount of original programming [of which five baseball qualified under due to the studio element] that broadcasters have to show means that it was an easy target as a cost-cutting measure.
Which fucking sucks. Without five baseball a significant enjoyable part of my life would simply not exist.

That's shit.
As annoyed as I was about their NHL coverage being cancelled I kind of saw it coming but this is a bit out of the blue. I’m pretty sure that the MLB is/was the only show on five that’s been around since the channel’s inception so I was hoping it would be continued.
Even if it was just Boston/New York twice a week I’m still gonna miss it.

Also, is the game worth watching considering it is 3 hours long or should I find something better to do?
Sounds like it was pretty much a frustrating game overall.

The Archive screwed up
in the middle of the ninth it suddenly sent me back to the bottom of the 6th. Over and over again. So I watched 3 hours of shit baseball only to end up having to check the score anyway.
That chart was most in-secular matthew
Please try not to continue with that if you want my continued particpation in look out landing.
I don't know what was more of a mess, the game, or the gamethread?
You can't hide from the omnipresent eye.
The gamethread looked fine when I went through it?

How the heck did we win this game?
Can’t believe we hung on… I’ll take it though.
It would be pretty sweet if this little hot streak by Endy will be enough to keep him in the lineup every day once Ichi gets back, leaving Jr to DH only. That lineup last night was not optimal. Not a big fan of seeing both Branyan and Griffey in there against a lefty.
