flavum Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 QUOTE (BigEdWalsh @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 05:10 PM) I like his game behind the plate. I'd take Gimenez too over Flowers. I hate nitpicking about a backup catcher, but yeah, let's see if we can do better than Flowers down the stretch. God forbid AJ gets hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILMOU Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 QUOTE (flavum @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 04:11 PM) Are you talking about the Indians? Agreed. Not nearly our worst loss, not even close. Doesn't even make me bummed out heading into the break. We're going to come out smokin'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm grasping at straws maybe but I've seen enough of Tyler Flowers. I don't think anyone could be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully, I've seen enough of Axelrod. Castro, you better get healthy in case Humber f***s up again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Fireworks Man Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 QUOTE (Cerbaho-WG @ Jul 8, 2012 -> 04:48 PM) Strike zone plot for today's game: http://www.brooksbaseball.net/pfxVB/zoneTr...amp;prevDate=78 Either I'm not reading those graphs correctly, or they are not accurate at all. There were two balls way outside to Rios in just one at bat that were called strikes that I don't see represented on those graphs. Or was the "Pitch Trax" on WGN that far off?

There are two red squares on the far right of the non-normalized plots. Those are the calls against Rios. One was probably six to eight inches outside, the other about three inches.

fathom Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 To clarify on the terrible loss comment, I thought it was a great effort by the entire team today. Unfortunately, it seemed they had to overcome a terrible strategy with Axelrod. Still thrilled with where things stand, and I hope everyone enjoys the break Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cali Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 I'm totally fine with the loss. This team doesn't quit. In the past this could have easily been a 10-0 blowout deflater. I'm also fine because I have nightmares of 2010, where, in my opinion a long streak leading into the All-Star break killed the entire momentum the team had. Yes they won the first game back against Minnesota (The eventual division champ) but it was pretty much all downhill from there. Minny won the last two games and proceeded to leapfrog the Sox and make the second half miserable. And honestly I'm sick of MY TEAM never getting national coverage. Sale possibly starting the All-Star game would be awesome in my opinion. And just seeing him against the NL's best if he doesnt start will be great just the same.

fathom Posted July 8, 2012 Share Posted July 8, 2012 Sale's not starting the ASG. Also, with the top teams in AL Central having huge weeks, they've put themselves in good position for the second AL Wild Card. You have to think the Angels will get one of those spot.

I see my mistake now, I was looking at it as if the view was from the pitcher looking towards the plate but now I see the view is from the umpires perspective.
