4/1 - Pirates (Correia) @ Cubs (Dempster) 1:20pm WGN

[JoshiQ]

Not quite the bomb I was hoping for. Not a great start to the season. Not overly impressed with anyone except for Castro.

[Hawk4Hall]

Well crap. Cubs lose on a few bad pitches and sub-par hitting.

[Guest]

Does anyone know what the NF stands for in the pitch-by-pitch action of the new gameday? It shows result, MPH, Pitch and then NF.

[Old Style]

Byrd blown away by three straight 97-mph fastballs down the middle. That's not encouraging.

Needs more "supplements" from Victor Conte.

they had 11 hits...that's plenty.

[Sammy Sofa]

Crud.

 

Ah well.

[Little Slide Rooter]

That's certainly no way to start a season.

No? Fukudome didn't have a good day? Aramis?

Not when they are 11 singles. Or did I miss an extra base hit?

Heck, even Barney got a couple of hits (and was caught stealing, but still...).

Huh? You can easily win a game with 11 singles and XBH.

[Old Style]

On the bright side, Cheers is on now.

Maybe PitchFX data? I'm not seeing where that is.

[Schwarber Fan]

A lot of bad luck today. Just win the series... tomorrow should be nice and sunny.

You are an awful post factory

I'm guessing if you average 11 singles a game with no extra base hits, you will lose many more games than you win.

Maybe PitchFX data? I'm not seeing where that is.

 

It's on the new Gameday and it's in the one box that always stays up. There's the result of the last batter, then below that is the pitcher and then the hitter and below that is the result of each pitch in the at-bat. The last column is NF.

What is the Nasty Factor?

 

The Nasty Factor evaluates several properties of each pitch, and rates the “nastiness” of the pitch on a scale from 0-100, based in part on the success or failure of opposing hitters against previous similar pitches. The Nasty Factor incorporates several different factors for each pitch, including:

 

Velocity — The greater the pitch’s velocity — as compared to that pitcher’s and the league’s range of speed for that pitch type — the greater the nastiness;

Sequence — The more the pitcher mixes up his pitches, the greater the nastiness… and certain pitch sequences are nastier than others, too;

Location — The closer to the edges of the strike zone is, the greater the nastiness, while pitches closer to the middle of the plate, and farther away outside the strike zone, decrease in nastiness;

Movement — The more movement the pitcher applies to the pitch — as compared to that pitcher’s and the league’s range of movement for that pitch type — the greater the nastiness.

The Nasty Factor also adjusts for how often the pitcher has faced the current batter during the game, as well as how often he has used the same pitch type against the same batter in the current at-bat and previously in the game.

Just ask the Royals last year.

I blame this on CT.

But who is talking about such a ridiculous scenario?

lol aren't you?

[Sammy Sofa]

Really?

 

You can easily win a game with 11 singles and no XBH.

 

You can easily have a winning season averaging 11 base hits and no XBH a game.

 

Which did I say?

[hawkeyecub]

So did goony die?
