Seattle Mariners at New York Yankees, Jul 1, 2009 4:05 PM PDT
Well that does it. I have a new favorite team photographer. "Hi Andy! I am here to take your picture. And also you are going to be raped."
Four switch-hitters in the Yankee lineup means Washburn will only get to face two lefties, putting him at the opposite disadvantage that Morrow faced last night. Players who can bat from both sides? We should try getting some of those.

Should Woodward be "3B"?
Or is this the first time we have had a full lineup without the ""s?

I overreacted last night and he is not as bad as he seemed

Griffey deserves a “DH” at least.

His line has to be worst for AL DH's right?
by d0nkey on Jul 1, 2009 3:22 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Turns out that Griffey is middle of the pack in wOBA for DHs
Of course, he’d lead the league among NL DHs. ;-)
by PDXTai on Jul 1, 2009 3:39 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Sometimes it puzzles me how so many DH's can suck so much
How hard is it to find a guy who can hit decently? They don’t even have to play defense, period.
by Fuckmikereilly on Jul 1, 2009 3:42 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yeah, after looking at the links Matthew provided
I was shocked to see how bad the DHs were. That doesn’t seem like a tough job.
by d0nkey on Jul 1, 2009 3:43 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
DH'ing is the toughest hitting job aside from pinch hitting.
by Matthew on Jul 1, 2009 3:45 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Is this a serious statement?
If so, is there an explanation for it?
by Fuckmikereilly on Jul 1, 2009 3:47 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
You have to produce at a relatively high level to be even replacement level
and there is a production penalty associated with DHing.
by acblue on Jul 1, 2009 3:50 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Plus DH's don't play the field so they've got more work to do to stay loose between AB's
it’s not scientific, but most DH’s you hear interviewed talked about how much harder it is to only appear four times a game as far as their preparation and routine goes.

He was more addressing the issue of being cold.
Like pinch hitting and coming off the bench and being expected to have your timing ready, DHing presents a challenge because you’re out of the game most of the time.

Which is where the production penalty comes into account
which I should have pointed out in my initial post.

Oh, I was mistaken.
Thought you were talking about positional adjustment.
angels fan in seattle
by Eyebrows on Jul 1, 2009 3:56 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yes. Not playing the field keeps them cold.
DH’ing incurs a -22.5 positional adjustment and full time DHs get 5 of those runs back on their hitting line due to the difficulties.
by Matthew on Jul 1, 2009 3:52 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Interesting.
I’d heard the “not playing the field keeps them cold” part before, but I never knew the numbers supported it. Thanks!

League average wOBA was .332 last year
Only 7 of the 18 DH on that list are above that.
by Fuckmikereilly on Jul 1, 2009 3:45 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Not sure if you can conclude anything from that.
I set the PA to > 150 which was completely arbitrary.
Small sample size rules apply.
7 out of 18 above average seems to me to be well within random variation.
Don’t know if you were going somewhere with your comment. I was just surprised to learn that Griffey stacks up pretty well against other DHs.

“I like Rob catching (Jarrod) Washburn.’’
“I think if you had to describe Rob as a young catcher, the biggest thing for me is the word ‘presence’,‘’ Wakamatsu replied. "I think he gives a belief system to a lot of pitchers out there. There are things we talk about daily that he’s got to get better at, but the one thing he has, for a young guy, he has a strong presence back there. He’s not afraid. He’s a very tough young player.’’

The paper roll ones are even worse
Every time it detects movement (which is not often) it dispenses about half an inch of paper towel, which is obviously not nearly enough to dry your hands with, so you have to repeat that process about 30 times just to dry your hands.
Maybe they figured by the time you’re done frantically waving your hands in front of the motion sensor for 5 minutes they’ll be air dried.

If I were to guess, I would think that his power (iso) ability doesn't change versus lefties.
Only that he doesn’t have as good an eye for the strike zone. But as long as he hits the ball it likely has the same chance of leaving. That would be my guess, without being able to get the splits to work.

That last time the Mariners batted was in fact the eighth inning of this baseball game
in it, the Mariners made three outs in a row. By the rules of baseball, the Mariners only get one more chance to hit, and by basic strategy, Mariano Rivera, the “closer” of the Yankees bullpen will most likely come in.
Hey look I can comment just like you

Thank you.
One reminder is enough…
Though I’m sure you’ll disagree.

Rangers up 1-0.
If they win, I’m not ready to sell. If Angels win, probably.
