Gene Honda Civic Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Apr 7, 2007 -> 05:18 PM) Did he throw any sliders in that sequence? And follow-up question, exactly how good is his new slider? Zero. It was about a 40-45 on the 20-80 scale last year. A below average pitch that he couldn't throw for strikes with regularity. He looked to have much better command of it in Atlanta, and I would have graded it as an above average pitch from what I saw there. We haven't really seen it during the regular season though.

fathom Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Apr 7, 2007 -> 10:23 PM) The Sox love the pickoffs at 2B. It's probably the most commonly messed up play in all of baseball. I think it has to do with the angle the 2B or SS is at, and how they don't have a lot of room to catch the ball with the runner taking up the entire 3rd base side of the bag.

shoota Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 It's plays like the one Podsednik scored on that the saber community hasn't been able to quantify. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ball goes past the base and he scores. Pods was not runing full speed until he saw Shines waving him in, so it was pretty close at home.

max power Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 QUOTE(Milkman delivers @ Apr 7, 2007 -> 05:25 PM) Can someone explain exactly what just happened for those of us relying on gameday? They tried to pick off pods at second. The throw hit second base and went into center. Pods ran from 2nd to home, with the throw coming just a little too late. Mauer blocked the plate nicely, it looks like pods might not of even touched the bag. Regardless, another run for the sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Yeah the commentators are saying he wasn't safe. Recap: Uribe with a homer Podsednik with a bunt single thingy, Reyes missed the ball Erstad with a sac bunt to move Pods to 2nd Pickoff to second, bad throw, Pods scores from 2nd, Maur blocked it well Commentators say Pods didn't touch the base, but they don't matter.
