Ichiro should have caught that ball. End of story.

We all love him, but that was inexcusable for a 9 time all-star.

Let's say Lopez didn't get to a routine popup...

It would be: OMG I HATE LOAFIE…FUCK YOU FATASS!

But when Ichiro doesn’t do something right you would never know unless you were watching the game. He should have caught that. I don’t know how you

by Ian Smell on Apr 28, 2010 1:11 PM PDT up reply actions  

No, it's because it was an in between play.

I’m guessing that Figgins called for it and Ichiro didn’t want to run into him. Also the wind has been a bitch all day.

Lets say Lopez didn't get to a Popup right inbetween him and Milton Bradley.

It would be, “DAMN. The royals are playing Angels baseball.”

I am 100% sure that there would be cries of, "DAMN, FUCKING ANGELS BASEBALL."

Or “FUCKING BLOOPERS FUCK!” If it was right between them, as the Ichiro Chone one was, only the people who had an axe to grind against Lopez would be whining.

He’s come to terms with sucking. He’s been taking more pitches. New Rob isn’t any good, he’s less bad. But he has a .366 OBP and takes more than 4 pitches per PA.

Just reminded me

Sheffield broke for the plate and first baseman Kevin Young threw home, where Kendall tagged out Sheffield cleanly but solidly as he came in standing up. Kendall objected to Sheffield knocking off the catcher’s helmet while getting tagged out at home. Kendall used what umpire Jerry Crawford termed “baseball words,” and Sheffield reacted violently.

The two players began to tangle and the benches and bullpens emptied.

“He came by and slapped me in the head and knocked my helmet off,” Kendall said. “I mean, if you’re going to run me over, then run me over and I’ll tip my cap to you. But he slapped me in the head and I thought it was a weak play. A couple of words were said and that was it.”

Mariner fan dread, exhibit #264

Rob Johnson hits a long fly ball to left with less than two outs and Milton Bradley at third. Mariners fan dreads this situation because clearly Bradley will blow out something in his knee and flop to the ground making it a double play and ending the inning.

Question:

I’m keeping track of the game on Game Day and I just discovered that each pitch has a release speed and a result speed. Lowe losses some where between 8-10 MPH on his fastball for each pitch. If Lowe were throwing a really good change would the release be in the upper 90’s and the result be in the low 80’s? Or am I just retarded and should ignore the two numbers?

Fuck the Angels

by InSpokane on Apr 28, 2010 1:39 PM PDT reply actions  

In pitchfx, they measure velocity near release (a standard spot like 51' from the plate) and near the plate.

A pitched ball slows down considerably between the hand and the plate, and that’s what you’re seeing – both numbers.
In general, any velocity reading isn’t taken where the ball crosses the plate, but when it’s released, so the upper 90s numbers are what you’re used to.

I'm sad I missed 2/3 of the game.

Made me less emotionally invested in the game. Why are they having a day game in KC on a Wednesday anyway? This is the least amount of a game I’ve watched all year.
