Again with the regulating

August 25th, 2007 · 1 Comment

Another day, another Milton Bradley clutch home run, complete with taunting the crowd. As I said in the Ducksnorts comments, Bud Black would be well advised to give Milton the day off tomorrow. He’s a prime candidate for retaliation. I say keep him on the bench and use him as […]

Game Notes: Phillies at Petco 7/19

July 20th, 2007 · No Comments

Chris Young: Another ridiculous outing from CY. Lately it seems like he comes out of the gate throwing a no hitter for 3 or 4 innings. Take a look at CY’s numbers for the first three innings over the last 5 games:
15 IP, 5 H, 3 BB, 17 K
The only thing that even […]

Series recap: Red Sox at Petco

June 26th, 2007 · No Comments

Yeah, I know I’m slacking. The biggest series of the year and not only am I late, I have all three games in one post. I’ll try to make this quick so I can get caught up.
Game 1
Greg Maddux: The Professor pitched a great game considering the opposition. He really deserved a […]

Game Notes: Padres at Cubs 6/16

June 16th, 2007 · No Comments

Chris Young: Young looked great in the early going. He was working very quickly and was obviously in a groove; he looked like he had the stuff to take another no hit bid into the late innings. Unfortunately a high fastball got away from him and hit Derek Lee, igniting an brawl that […]

Game notes: Mariners at Petco 6/08

Justin Germano: Germano didn’t have his usual pinpoint control and, predictably, he paid the price. 4 ER in 5 IP and once again Bud Black left a pitcher in after it was obvious he was cooked because he was due up in the bottom of the inning. I don’t understand the reluctance to […]

Game notes: Dodgers at Petco 6/06 - Trevor gets number 500

June 6th, 2007 · 3 Comments

Maddux, Bell and Linebrink all pitched well tonight but the big story is Trevor Hoffman’s 500th career save. In honor of Trevor’s milestone let’s take a look at how he did it.
Leading off the inning: Nomar Garciaparra

Green dot = first pitch
Trevor usually likes to throw a first pitch fastball for a strike but Nomar […]

Game notes: Dodgers at Petco 6/5

June 5th, 2007 · 3 Comments

Chris Young: 7 IP, 3 H, 4 BB, 5 K, 0 ER. Despite the 4 walks I thought CY had very good control with his fastball. He had trouble controlling the curveball but it was mostly missing out of the zone, he didn’t hang any where it could hurt him.
CY was able […]

Padres at Pirates, 5/29 - 5/31

May 31st, 2007 · No Comments

I don’t have much to say about these games, they’re on the east coast so I haven’t been able to watch the game. On top of that there’s no Enhanced Gameday data so nothing to analyze.
5/29
David Wells was fine, 2 earned runs in 5 IP.
Meredith gave up a rare home run in one […]

Game Notes: Brewers at Petco 5/27

May 28th, 2007 · 1 Comment

Jake Peavy: Just another ho hum outing from Jake, 7 IP, 0 ER, 2 H, 1 BB, 8 K. Rather than break this one down into individual outcomes let’s just take a look at all pitches:
Green = pitches to lefties
Red = pitches to right handers
White = release point

The most obvious thing is the three […]

Game notes: Brewers at Petco 5/26

May 27th, 2007 · No Comments

Justin Germano: Yet another good outing for Germano. 5 IP, 5 H, 0 BB and a season high 4 K. 2 of those hits were home runs but they came with no one on so the damage was minimal.
This one is a little cluttered but includes all pitches, as well as […]
