    Tim Howard kicks the goalpost in frustration. Landon Donovan would too, but he's just half-assing it.

    He had six Ks in his last four games going into today. You can have a lot of fun with arbitrary endpoints, but it's not as if the Ks had stopped in his recent hot streak. He was just getting something out of almost every non-K, which is completely sustainable. Here we go again, with the "everything amazingly good is unsustainable, but everything amazingly bad is just business as usual" rhetoric.

    All of a sudden I'm more than a little bummed that Spurs got shafted out of a CL appearance this year.

    Walk rate up to 16.5%, which if qualified would be tops in the majors.

    33 pitch inning while allowing two base runners.

    This ordeal may not have affected which clubs I root for (yet), but it certainly affects which club I will root against.

    The beauty of this play is in trying to figure out exactly how many players failed to notice the guy was running in the wrong direction. http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/8320884/kent-state-golden-flashes-andre-parker-wrong-way-run-grabs-attention

    Yeah, the walk rate. His pitch recognition is amazing right now. So if you could get an over/under on his BB rate at 13% for his next 600 PAs, at even money, you'd take the over? Certainly more likely than I'd be to take the over on a K rate of 40% over his next 600 PAs. He's not striking out because he's swinging at bad pitches or watching third strikes. His contact rate is just unbelievably low on strikes. So much so that pitchers are responding by laying in more meatballs, and he's punishing the ones he hits.

    12 team league, no PPR, one keeper at round after this year. QB Tom Brady RB Ahmad Bradshaw RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis WR Jordy Nelson WR Miles Austin TE Jimmy Graham R/W/T Stevie Johnson D/ST Chicago K Justin Tucker QB Jake Locker RB Kevin Smith RB Roy Helu WR Justin Blackmon WR Malcom Floyd TE Heath Miller Drafted 10th, didn't even bother trying for a RB until the 5th round. Overall I'm pretty happy with the results, though.

    You've...got a solid kicker, there.

    Swinging at over 40% of pitches out of the zone. As hacky as Castro has been this season, he's only at 38% O-swing.

    That is the first time all series that Jackson has put balls into play on two consecutive PAs.
  14. bukie
    recall, he had 6 BB in his first 72 games (312 PA) do not miss Rudy Also, his O-swing % for August just went below the league average. That would be the first time in his career that is the case.

    Now with 85 plate appearances, only 31 times has Brett put the ball in play. Or 36.5% of the time.
  16. bukie
    Petition to change thread to Brett "BB" Jackson.
  17. bukie
    .197 average, .321 on-base percentage for an IsoD somewhere between hilarious and impossible.

    Josh Vitters is struggling in a transition to a new level of play? I AM SHOCKED. THIS IS TOTALLY UNPRECEDENTED AND UNFORESEEN.
  19. bukie
    Under Lovie, the D always shows almost nothing preseason every year.

    At this point, they may as well play games continuously during dry periods, and they'll meet everyone else at the end of the season.

    Don't feel bad, some of us appreciate the 32 trillion SCS's worth of effort you put into that post.
  22. bukie
    Because there isn't a better option. And holy hyperbole, the guy's given up one run to this point.
  23. bukie
    The best part of the game was how well the back line played all night. Even Castillo wasn't bad, and Cameron was awesome on Chicharito.
  24. bukie
    That was like Chaminade beating Duke. In Cameron.
