how was he safe? -
And 2 dozen pick off/caught stealing?
-
why so stupid?
-
get yourself behind in the count with stupid foul bunts, making yourself an easy K target. Real smart.

Ricketts on the floor of the CBOE talking to Rick Santelli about renovation, I assume this is going to delve into Santelli shouting about government interference.

Every futbol show I've seen is obsessed with coaches.

Yay for winning. Boo for douche with gopro on his head.

I kind if ignored it and thought he was just indifferent. Was he really uncomfortable?
-
Yeah, because of the schedule... well being mediocre and then also playing a rough schedule on top of it. On paper there isn't series you would say we should win in the month of April. You might be able to call a split with Arizona because we are at home, and their pitching is struggling big time. We might be lucky to get 10 wins. Pittsburg and Philthy are hardly juggernauts.

By definition it always maintains consistency from park to park. I'm not sure how you could even think otherwise here. You not aware how motion tracking cameras work? It's not all on the framer, but that's a part of it. Well, the strike zone is not a fixed point in space, every ump calls it differently and every stadium has a unique setup for its system, so it would be a mistake to assume consistency. And they are referring to it as a framing measurement, which very clearly puts the blame on the catcher. Not to mention, they've played 2 teams in 2 stadiums so far and a small percentage of the league's umps have called their games.

I get that it is pitch f/x data, but how reliable is that for determining the strike zone in every stadium? Each stadium is obviously uniquely designed which makes their systems at least questionable as to the accuracy of how it is measuring strikes. It is one thing to judge speed and movement of any one pitch, but the strike zone is fluid throughout the league, from ump to ump, batter to batter. There are a whole bunch of reasons why a pitch that any one stadium's system determines to be in the zone may be called a ball. The cameras track the trajectory of the ball, and it's accurate to within an inch. Since mounds, distances to the plate, and size of the plate are consistent from park to park, the data will be consistent across the board. Well, an inch is more than nothing. And by definition it cannot maintain consistency from park to park. And putting it on the framer is silly.

Is there a reason they play the Browns every single year in the preseason? I feel like I've read something about it before, but can't remember. No idea.
-
The stadiums have to have an influence since they set up cameras in each stadium to gather the data. I'm not suggesting a team employee is skewing the data.

Pitch f/x Which is sourced how?
-
Why do you believe this? Blaming it all on framing is silly. But before you even get into the other reasons why a strike can be called a ball, how trustworthy is the data they are working with?
-
Soon as you start actually reading the information and taking it for what it is. What is determining non-called strikes? How do they judge that? Does the system vary from stadium to stadium?
-
20% of their in-strike-zone calls have been balls. That's crazy. There's no way that's entirely about framing. Agreed. Part of that must be due to the wildness of Cubs pitchers. Guys like Veras and Strop won't be getting any favors from umpires. I'm thinking the built in respect for the Yankees and complete opposite for the Cubs is going to be in play.

2013-14 Defending Champion Blackhawks Regular Season Thread
jersey cubs fan replied to Drew Doughty's topic in Other Sports
Agreed. Haven't the Blackhawks had some success against the bully teams in the playoffs? Boston, Philly, etc. They've lost when the opposing goalie gets hot or they are simply just the lesser team. -
Other Games Thread - April
jersey cubs fan replied to Transmogrified Tiger's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
Because media members are terrible at judging each others' work. Rick Reilly is routinely praised as some sort of genius, but only by other writers. These people are worse than ballplayers when it comes to the "if you have been around a long time you are awesome and deserve to stay around forever" mentality. -
