The funny thing is, it still fooled Ramirez, who had a horrible, lunging swing. A little unlucky on that one. Unfortunately, the table had been set with the single and walk before that. -
Game over.

Anytime I would see a Sunday lineup with Graffanino, Rivera, Gross, and Dillon, I knew the fireworks were about to begin.

Just stopped by to see the complaints about Morgan not starting.

Will this be a breakout year for Chris Narveson?
dlk9s replied to Vgmastr's topic in Milwaukee Brewers Talk
One thing that he's done really well so far is mix up his pitches. Looks like the batters have been really off balance against him. Plus, there's enough difference in speed amongst his three pitches (75 mph curve, 79-80 mph change, 88 mph fastball) to give hitters trouble. One great example was in tonight's game against Soriano. I think it was maybe a 2-1 pitch and Soriano watched a fastball right down the pipe. To me, that was very much the result of the control, variety, and lower speeds of his other pitches. His arm angle seems a little tricky, too. Nothing comes in straight with him. -
Here we go. Perhaps the Phillies should consider taking Cole Hamels out of the rotation?

Random Physics & Baseball Related Ponderings/Questions

When I was a kid I fouled a ball straight down at home plate at the Johnson's Park batting cages. Since home plate was just white paint on cement, it bounced back up and hit me in the mouth. Had to go to the concession stand for ice. Those bats were way too heavy. -

Well, scratch that. Looks like MLB Extra Innings is still free. Yipeee! I still missed the homer, though.
-
Of course, the first game I'm not able to watch this season and I miss Prince's first homer.

FYP

Maybe Wilson's wasn't as bad and he didn't re-aggravate it?
-
Maybe he's pretty hurt?

Very nice game today. Observations: 1) Marcum looked good. Excellent movement on his pitches. Obviously the walk to the rookie 8-hole hitter was dubious, but stuff happens sometimes. The Braves barely ever put good wood on the ball - too bad one of the dinks got through the infield for 2 runs. 2) Casey is obviously struggling. Can't seem to see the outside corner breaker - keeps missing or hitting it off the end of the bat. He'll be fine in the long run. 3) Nyjer being Nyjer. 4) Axford is looking better, but there's something that's worrying me a little about him so far. I think he's been finding too much of the plate when he throws strikes. Most of his fastballs in the strike zone seem very hittable. But hey, he's saved two in a row, so that's cool with me. 5) Rickie starting to struggle with the low outside breaking ball like he has done in the past. No worries, though.

Hop on a plane and join me down here in Atlanta. I'll be watching the local broadcast. As for Gomez batting 2nd, I think RR was perfectly reasonable when he said, "It's way too early to change that. I know he got out of what he was doing in spring training for a couple of days. We'll see what happens. I'm not saying I'm going to stay with 'Gomey' second all year." I'd prefer Morgan, too, but the coaching staff obviously liked what Gomez was doing in ST, so they want to give him a chance to find that again. Plus, RR probably wants to make sure he gets a good look at him (in regular season game situations, not just ST or practice), so he can make a proper evaluation. Also...Gomey? Hi Ned!

Completely agree. It was a very slow chopper so he had to negotiate the hops. If he charges, he's in no position to turn back and get the runner at second. I think people are just picking on him because he's YuBet. Overall, while his range has obviously been limited, he's played alright in the field so far. Nice to see him hitting this series, too. On the whole, it was a well played game. The only thing that really got me annoyed was how Gomez went into home with no intention of actually scoring, but rather trying to elbow McCann's glove. While it's sometimes tough to make such a quick decision, he needs to be a bit more aware there and just slide.

I'm watching MLB Network right now and they showed a great play by Escobar. Harold Reynolds then chimes in and says, "His talents were being wasted in Milwaukee." To this, I thought, "Really? How?" Mr. Reynolds answered it for me, informing me that the Brewers apparently had him playing in the outfield, when he should be at shortstop.

If at first you don't succeed....
-
Hmm. Wonder what those "mental hurdles" are for Hart. Hopefully, it's more or less him being worried that as soon as he exerts himself, he'll aggravate the injury. I can understand that, if that's the case, and just hope he overcomes whatever it is soon.
-
Yes, it is.
-
Actually 2 because McGehee isn't hitting either. He didn't do anything today, but he hit fine in the Reds series.
-
And of course, the first time in 300 innings that Saito gives up 2 homers, it happens now.
-
Is this an acceptable alternative? http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/4297/reganzu1.gif

So a homer off a pitch that was way up and in and one that bounces over the wall. Of course.
