Pitching so carefully, can't put away the number 9 hitter after two strikes. Sigh.

Baker-esque

Fun fact: Sal Perez looks even slower trotting around the bases in person than on TV 

You, sir, have a sadistic definition of "fun".

Halfway to winning the Sal Perez bet! 

 

Got that going for us, which is nice.

Robo-ump will revolutionize the game for the better. I have seen so many pitchers get screwed by fantastic pitches on the edge called a ball by these unreliable humans. Then they get frustrated and throw the next pitch right down the middle. Same guys will now get a well-deserved K. 

Same thing for "homer" umps that give their side's pitcher a "strike" on some half-wild curve that misses the zone by a foot. Then the hitter is at a disadvantage - where the hell is the strike zone? So they feel obligated to swing at some outside pitch, destroying their eye at the plate.

I was just thinking that Santana's limit might be about 50 pitches right now, after two years of not starting. He looked great. I miss him.

That will happen sometimes. I expect, though, that a more consistent strike zone will help batters more than pitchers. Batting is about timing. Pitching is about disruption. IMO anything that makes the game more predictable should aid batters.

When will Buxton be playing?   

Your guess is as good as anyone's. Another setback in the rehab, it seems.

The latest from Yogi Gladden, this time when talking about pitchers, "If you're at 90-91 and command, you're going to hit your spots. And there's a high velacity (sic) fastball."

Really important for Simmons to get a run in. 

He didn't get your memo.

Donaldson's run in the first has been declared the 2,000,000 run in MLB history.

I wonder if he'll get 2,000,000 pennies and if the Boy and Girl Scouts will get to split 2,000,000 Tootsie Rolls.
