I have been begging for Butera AND Mauer to do a Tovar this year -- two Tovars in one game would be amazing.Quote:

Why stop there? Throw Doumit in for laughs.Quote:

On another note, I just noticed that MLB At Bat changes the release point for each pitch. Awesome. I don't know what kind of crazy mapping tech their using for that but it's awesome.
We don't need no more Charlie Finley. stuff.
I remember when Jim Lemon, Bill Tuttle, and Lenny Green played the OF.
Release point is among the information tracked by Pitchf/x.Quote:

If Deduno could actually locate his pitches, he might have a future. As it is now, his guess is as good as ours to where the ball is going. I think it has to do with his follow through more than anything. It is inconsistent to say the least.
Better yet, just stick to calling the game and forget about the cute fluff stuff.Quote:

I hate it but its all part of the game. One more reason I often turn off the sound.
To actually talk about the game for a change, Deduno has settled down nicely since that first inning. Too bad he's got his pitch count up into the 80s. I must admit I didn't expect this good a start from him. Not lights out spectacular, but he's getting the job done - keeping the score down and giving the hitters a chance.
Carroll comes through with a big two-out rbi double.
