This year MLB will be using Statcast pitch velocity rather than pitchfx velocities, which will lead to about 1mph higher readings on all pitches. Santana sat at 92.7 last year, while he sat 92.4 yesterday. This means he was about a tick and third lower in velocity than where he was last year for instance. Just thought this might be a nugget you'd all want to be aware of while watching guys and if Dick and Burt get excited about velocity that really isn't anything to get excited about.

Didn't he have two five-star catches. The one that made the highlight reels was made great by the fact that he broke the wrong way, then slipped. A "normal" CF that makes a good break on the ball, probably makes that play

 

The other one was the catch that, if I was a betting man, the analytics say was a better catch (break, top speed, range, etc)

The new five-star catch rating has to do with time available to make the catch, and distance required to get to the ball.  So like you said, the ball where he broke the wrong way and slipped, but recovered to catch the ball with a dive, I heard yesterday that this play had a 98% 'catch probability.'  So, not a 5-star play (a 1-star play in fact).  The one that we would agree was the best catch, had a 24% catch probability.  I think it needs to be under 25% to be a 5-star catch.  I think these statistics will be tweaked in the future as they are brand new, but it's interesting and helpful nonetheless.

The 2017 Minnesota Twins have scored 16 runs in 18 innings.

 

The 2016 Minnesota Twins scored their 16th run in their 96th inning.

 

Woof.

 

One results in happy drinking.  One results in drinking to drown out the pain.

And 0 injuries!

How do we know he's not battling through something? He went nearly two years playing with post concussion syndrome. He might reveal that he played the first month with two broken femurs.

Eddie Rosario has more walks than Joey Votto.

 

edit: Oh right, "numbers."

 

Rosario has 2 more walks and as many strikeouts as Joey Votto. There.
