    Damn, Teo had 3 juicy ones and missed them all.
  2. John_Havok
    Oh the sweet sweet sound of insurance runs...
  3. John_Havok
    NOt hard to see the Twins scouting report on Vlad.... throw nothing but changeups. maybe 1 fastball here or there.
  4. John_Havok
    Ok., But just because he didn't do it that way doesn't make it wrong.
  5. John_Havok
    Given that he hasn't used anyone for the 8th yet...yeah it likely wont be Romano, my bet would be Cimber or Merryweather. Mayza isn't bad against RHB, but he is worse than he is against lefties, so I don't think having him face their best hitters who are all RH power guys would be the right call. I'm fine with him using Mayza in the 7th.
  6. John_Havok
    I bet you 1,000,000 dollars that doesn't happen.
  7. John_Havok
    It's not terrible in this case, 2 of the next 4 are lefties and I'm not sure you'd want Mayza facing the top of the order in the 8th.
  8. John_Havok
    well at least it wasn't a HR
  9. John_Havok
    Uh oh, my "Matz is about to give up a HR to Sano" sense is tingling.
  10. John_Havok
    In what universe would the Twins accept Grichuk for Donaldson?
  11. John_Havok
    f***, coulda sworn he was at least a switch hitter....wonder who i was thinking of?
  12. John_Havok
    Jays murdering baseballs that inning:
  13. John_Havok
    Just wondering what it would take to land a guy like him via trade... yeah i know they probably aren;t looking at CF as an upgrade position right now given they just signed springer, but ... it's fun to think about the possibilities. He checks all the boxes the Jays need... better defense, LH bat...
  14. John_Havok
    Shush, don't give away the secret.
  15. John_Havok
    Yes, right up until Matz gives up a solo HR on the next hitter he faces, then it will start up again.
  16. John_Havok
    I am a f***ing prophet
  17. John_Havok
    Looks like the Jays are locking in on this guy. Gonna be some fireworks if he's in much longer
  18. John_Havok
    That's 1. Lets get some more
  19. John_Havok
    Yeah. really the only trends identifiable from the numbers i posted was that his whiff rate is down, his 4 seam usage is up, sinker is non-existent. Of course we're just arm-chairing it here, but seems like he should be throwing fewer 4 seamers, more curveballs at least in the short term. His fastball is getting killed this year and it's usage is way above what it normally is.
  20. John_Havok
    It just seems like a very fine line these guys have to walk. When you have no velocity, you have basically pitch perfectly with both location and sequencing due to not having the margin of error that velocity gives you.
  21. John_Havok
    It could be something as simple as adding the sinker back in just to give them something else to think about. YOu can see by the numbers it's never been a pitch that gets great results for him, but it might be something that allows the offspeeds to play up again. Also could be a sequencing problem where hitters are really picking up on his tendencies
  22. John_Havok
    Ryu's pitch mix and results from the last few years. Couple things definitely stand out
  23. John_Havok
    K, here's Ryu's spin #s this season. 1st half vs second half, used cutoff date of July 1 for the start of second half which is 14 starts, 1st half is 15 starts. Curve spin 2nd half 2554.428571 Curve spin 1st half 2459.133333 4seam FB spin 2nd half 1953.071429 4seam FB spin 1st half 1930.733333 Cutter spin 2nd half 2004.928571 Cutter spin 1st half 1978.066667 Change Spin 2nd half 1550.642857 Change Spin 1st half 1484.933333
  24. John_Havok
    Cursory check with no math done indicates no real change in spin rates on any of his 4 pitches, except his curve - which is actually spinning slightly more than it was at the start of the season by about 100 rpm.
  25. John_Havok
    Yeah I know it's there, I just cant find it from a game to game perspective. One thing I did see though, he's completely abandoned the sinker this year. So instead of 5 pitches, he's down to 4. That may not explain the last 4 starts because he's ditched it all year, but ... it is curious.
