Alright, I'm out for a bit. Stokes, cheer your heart out. Cal, rally the troops.

Holy shit, this guy sucks.

Again, not even on the line, called a ball.

Enjoy your Sunday, brother.

Why don't the Giants use the pitch box in their broadcasts? That is becoming rather standard fare nowadays. ESPN actually has a 3D PitchFX they use. Really cool shit.

 

[calsnowskier]

Bum still has not given up a BH to the opposing pitcher all year. That's impressive.

 

[calsnowskier]

And Fairchild calls a pitch CLEARLY out of the zone against Bum.

God, I hate umpires.

 

[Stokes1931]

Ump looks bad.

Giants 0-4 with, you know.

Not according to fangraphs. No ball outside the zone called a strike. He has called five pitches in the zone a ball though (3 in favor of giant hitters).

According to MLB at-bat, it was outside the zone.

I was reviewing the top ROY candidates on MLB.com, and I noticed something...

They include Seager, and all 10 of his ABs, but they do not include Tomlinson. By the numbers (SSS, I know) he is having a better year than Duffy, but he is not included? Makes no sense.

And BTW, Bryant has pulled ahead of the rookie class again, and it isn't that close right now. I am not sure Duffy is a top 3 RIGHT NOW.

 

[calsnowskier]

#100!!

First in more than a month (Aug 3)

 

[calsnowskier]

If you hit a milestone HR in Colorado, does it really count?

 

[Stokes1931]

Posey with the oppo homer. Impressive!

2-2

 

[Stokes1931]

0-7

 

[Stokes1931]

Byrd's double past Arenado was impressive. Dude is a vacuum cleaner at 3rd.

I've never found that to be accurate. Fangraphs is pretty good. After the game, we can pull Brooks to see

None of these 2-D graphs are accurate, though. The zone has a volume, not an area.

I trust Brooks' numbers over all others, though.

That's correct; but Fangraphs is far superior to the mlb app, IMO.

Fair enough. But the fangraphs UI sucks. The ball/Strike widget does not allow for any filters outside of "called ball" and "called strike". It hard to get a real feel when you have to look at the entire game with no idea which was the first or last pitch thrown.

 

[calsnowskier]

Big hit, right there.

Looks like Duff is coming out of his little slump.


And if what he had is his version of a slump, lots of guys in this game will take his slump as their average streak any day of the week.
