    vlad got impatient there ....

    This graphic pretty much sums up this game.
  3. John_Havok
    Was just thinking that same thing. If he can somehow get through 7...
  4. John_Havok
    It was 96 mph, even if he swung he wasnt going to hit it. Any pitcher with 95+ has the easiest book on Biggio. Inner half fastballs that he cant turn on and then fastballs up and away that he'll swing through. You dont even neeed a breaking ball against the guy if you throw over 95 mph.

    Spoke too soon! Belt goes buh bye for JaysBlue and Candy Maldonado +4 +1.
  6. John_Havok
    gues we should have picked who is going to get a hit today instead. old fashioned pitchers duel
  7. John_Havok
    Jays signed RHP Wes Parsons to minor league deal. Nothing to see, returning from the KBO and pretty much sucks.
  8. John_Havok
    well, everyone is picked except the bench. Lets hope for a barrage of long balls boys!
  9. John_Havok
    Being slightly rushed doesn't destroy the shape and command of a pitch while the other pitchers remain the same. It's 100% mechanical and he needs to figure it out ASAP
  10. John_Havok
    I'll go with Varsho

    In contrast to his s*** slider, his sinker is the 36th best pitch by run value in the majors at -6 4 seamer checks in a -1 (slightly above average) and the change is +2. He's basically a 4 seam/sinker pitcher.
  12. John_Havok
    It's a question mark for sure. Thing is, there's like 7 guys on the roster that also throw sliders, some of them really really good ones. you'd think there would be some kind of tweak he can pick up from one of them that can help.
  13. John_Havok
    Manoah's slider is now tied for the worst pitch in baseball. Run value of +11. It's tied with David Peterson's slider and Jack Flaherty's 4 seamer
  14. John_Havok
    The overhead shot …it looks like a giant sperm.
  15. John_Havok
    Honestly I dont think it's a sequencing issue, its just that his slider is wildly inconsistent and he has no idea where it's going to end up. I also think he's tipping it though I have no idea how to prove that without a side by side video, which I don't have the knowledge or software to make. He's getting 0 swings and misses with it, so it's like they know right away if it's going to be a hittable stirke or not. Anything even close to the zone they are laying off it without even a half swing or check swing.
  16. John_Havok
    the entire ballpark knew a slider was coming there.
  17. John_Havok
    Really good, just missed the sweet spot
  18. John_Havok
    SN Now is like 3 pitches behind gameday....
  19. John_Havok
    Here we go... Belt going yard here now
  20. John_Havok
    Anyone seeing that Manoah is slightly slowing down that arm action when he's throwing the slider? Im not super sure that I'm seeing it but it seems like they know 100% when that slider is on the way. If anyone knows how to do a side by side video thing... that would be swell.
  21. John_Havok
    Leadoff walk, always a good sign
  22. John_Havok
    Gonna get Jekyll or Hyde today from Alek?

    No Springer tonight... hopefully nothing wrong.
  25. John_Havok
    Cautious optimism, but when youre 24 in High A and as recently as last season walked 7 per 9 at the same level, it's hard to get see that he might be a pen guy some day. Should he get bumped up to AA and retain those his current K and BB rates, then you're maybe looking at a guy who might make it. That said, improving from a BB/9 of 7, to under 2 is nice to see.
