[Inklink]

Ummm, strike????

[RealAccountant]

Wow how is that not a strike

[Dylan]

higher draft pick please

[jays76]

Naturally I'm not feeling overly confident after yesterday and having shaky Buerhle up there doesn't help but maybe today will be an unexpected pleasant surprise for us.

[RealAccountant]

Navarro's pitch framing ability = -10

[Inklink]

Wow, 3 ground balls to Reyes and he didn't FK one up. Progress.

[guylaroche5]

i'm seriously wondering if yan gomes > navarro makes us a playoff team, so depressing

[RealAccountant]

One cant help but become a Rays fan with the way they do things

 

very enticing

[bill]

If they win a game in this series it will likely be today

[RealAccountant]

I hope Reyes gets over .300

 

May be moveable

Well, if you factor in framing, Navarro is at or below replacement level, while Gomes should closer to 5 WAR, big difference.

[RealAccountant]

Lol reyes you got to protect against that

 

Meanwhile Burleh didn't get a better pitch

 

Love the MLB

[Orgfiller]

And there's the Molina effect.

[RealAccountant]

And there's the Molina effect.

[bill]

That was a good changeup

[Trouba95]

Strikes out the side. Lol @ this team. Are we going to be shut out again today?

[RealAccountant]

If we get shutout today, Something will definitely go down in the club house.

[Jimcanuck]

its the 1st inning, calm the f*** down

[RealAccountant]

We have multiple perfect games going on.

Framing is still in it's infancy about understanding how much is due to catchers and how much is due to other factors, so I'm still highly sceptical on the current numbers that are coming out. Yes they probably identify the catchers who are bad and good at it, but the actual strike numbers and run values attributed solely to catchers as a result are still very suspect and in need of far more work.

[John_Havok]

Nice pitch............ K

 

Gibbons needs to get on this clown of an ump and see if he can get a real strike zone enforced.

[Orgfiller]

Nice poke Lind.

[Dylan]

nice job Lind, lets go eddy!

[Inklink]

Praise the lord!
