  1. Justin Wilson's velocity is up a full mph to 96.4. He's getting ahead of hitters with a 63% F-strike, 3 points above his career high. His contact is down 7 points to 67, and in particular he has been nasty in the zone, lowering his Z-contact 10 points below his career average. It's too bad we weren't able to pry him from Detroit.
  2. I was so sure Al was gonna get that Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
  3. Is it irrational to be concerned that maybe KBs swing-tinkering has had a negative effect? His average exit velo is down to 85 while the MLB average is 87. He is just not turning on the inside heat too often, as pitchers have repeatedly hammered him there. Just early noise or actual warning sign?
  4. 11 tries... #thatsnotcub
  5. And the hard contact is way up from where it was at this point last season. His approach has been good so a deep slump will either be the result of BABIP or mechanical breakdown. A 115 wRC+ is totally feasible given his track record.
  6. I'm still amazed the Padres have won 8 games You shouldn't be. They have Trevor Cahill and Clayton Richard atop their rotation. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
  7. Straily had a hell of a night 14 Ks on just 97 pitches, 73 strikes
  8. Hatch has struck out 4/9 batters but has also allowed 4 hits and a pair of runs. Like a Kerry Wood game!
  9. It doesn't count on here but I just told my dad JHey is gonna mash another
  10. Entering today Schwarber leads the NL in pitches seen, 3rd in MLB behind Bautista and Haniger. Also entering today, Schwarber trailed Almora in pitches per plate appearance, 4.42 to 4.41. Almora's Swing% is lower than Rizzo's and Bryant's. Depending on if you use the Baseball Info Solutions or PITCHf/x data, he's either just above them or just below them on swinging at pitches out of the zone, too. I always thought PFX was more accurate, no?
  11. His GB rate is actually only 46%, FWIW Just scouting the stats he seems to be getting ridiculous luck. So many balls put in play. Yeah Caratini has been very solid. If he goes hitless in a game he usually takes a walk and he's been consistent.
  12. Not really saying it's a need. I was just musing.
  13. That's tough but hopefully we can get Reed back on the ropes and finish him off this time.
  14. Damn, great start, and now Willy is showing off his own slyde Well done Willy
  15. Don't have to squint too hard to see it
  16. I'm trying not to commiserate but yes those pop ups in high leverage PA are annoying AF
  17. Happ homered Butler gave up a ton of contact, 8 hits and just 1 K, but he allowed just 1 run to score in 6 innings. Things could have gone a lot differently obviously but it was probably a lot of weak contact just from the looks of the line.
  18. Worst possible execution after that lovely beginning to the inning.
