If Votto comes up in the 5th, there will be blood in the RF pavillion

Votto will say he tried to touch first base with “my left foot”

He will also want to keep the ball, and as he searches for it Votto will yell, “I will find you!”

I don't see how he can improve
he’s always been a velocity pitcher. Topping out at 86 simply wont get it done

Unless he can throw harder, he’s pretty much done. He probably gets 2 more starts or so to make sure.

9-3
5.43 ERA
People will say he’s good.
by Chad Moriyama on Jul 20, 2009 8:51 PM PDT up reply actions
He used to kill people with high, hard stuff.
It will be hard for him to turn into a completely different player.
Russ is a natural 2nd in lineup, hes going to have a great second half
Tons of protection, great swing if he can keep it compact, good speed, and awesome baseball knowledge, hell be a keeper there.
Maybe will poke a few out too, even though id rather just have him get on base for manny
woah... head hunting...?
Still, bad pitcher or getting frisky with that fastball.
apparantly
that was a monster throw, one of the better I have seen since Santiago
uhhh... take back that speed/knowledge stuff..
What the heck was that Martin… beaten by 3 steps on a changeup??
I think Schmidt deserves "Carrie"

NO NO NO
I think he was when he was with Bonds, on SF… look at career numbers
What do his career numbers have to do with anything?
Plenty of guys threw 95 mph in their prime. He then spent 3 years on the DL. Doesn’t sound like a prime candidate for roids

I dont think this year
But I wonder if he can muster it up another notch for next year, look at his career, EVERY year hes better, by quite a bit!
Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t Schmidt usually pitch better as the game progressed? Even before injuries?
Not really no

PHEW!!!

Schmidt
my guess – 5 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 2 BB, 3 K
Dr. Geek – 5 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 4 BB, 2 K
Actual line – 5 IP, 5 hits, 3 R, 3 BB, 2 K
Nice - I'd take Dr. Geek because he got the BB/K just about right
Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
He picked 11 baserunners, I got the correct 8!!

Think about what you just said
They were both off by 1 on BB… Geek was not closer
Guess was closer on hits
Up 7-3, he might. Short bench, plus they’d rather not use O-Dog, although he is available.
by Eric Stephen on Jul 20, 2009 9:17 PM PDT up reply actions
He'd do it anyway.
Its been Torre’s M.O. this year to stretch his starters as much as possible because of the short bench.
Yesterday Torre said he would prefer a larger bench, so he didn’t have to pinch hit a pitcher or limit his late inning moves, but he needed the security blanket I guess.

We are up enough that I hope to see a Kuo sighting

Patience is for those who die waiting for something to happen
Because there is zero real evidence
that you can predict pitching injuries based on mechanics. Also those guys are a bunch of amateurs with no actual background in biomechanics.
They’re all “blah blah blah inverted W this”
[DELETED ZOMG NO POLITICS]
Right I just saw you were from
Lookout Landing, and I know you guys were asshurt that they said Brandon Morrow had poor mechanics.
Zero evidence, sure, there are lot of components, doesn’t mean it’s not worth looking into. And if you try to quantify everything through empirical evidence, you are essentially slighting every coach to ever teach a kid how to swing or throw.
I don’t buy into either fully.
by Chad Moriyama on Jul 20, 2009 9:29 PM PDT up reply actions
It's not so much that I am asshurt
but more that I trust a guy like Graham at LL that there isn’t a way to prove the claims that DLM makes with the knowledge they have.
[DELETED ZOMG NO POLITICS]
There isn't a way to prove anything...
…but how can you prove that coaches are valuable in that case? Are they also not worthless by that logic? There’s no empirical evidence thus far to show that certain hitting mechanics benefit hitters than others. No long-term study.
Yet, I ABSOLUTELY buy that certain pitching and hitting mechanics are better than others.
Their work is as interpretation of Marshall’s who has done biomechanic research, and he’s not invalidated because he’s a bitter old man.
by Chad Moriyama on Jul 20, 2009 9:34 PM PDT up reply actions
This is not true
there are always ways to prove things. That’s why we have science. But the stuff they are presenting as science has not been fully validated.
I’m not saying bad mechanics don’t lead to injuries, I’m saying it is not as easy to predict as those guys try to make it out with their pseudo science.
[DELETED ZOMG NO POLITICS]
Which is why I said I don't buy into it fully
but to say it’s garbage is equally laughable in my opinion.
People who espouse things like that as absolute truth are questionable, but I don’t think they are invalidated because of their attitude.
There are always ways to prove things, but just because they are not proven doesn’t mean there isn’t a logic behind it.
Ask Leo Mazzone or Dave Duncan for empirical evidence of his mechanical teachings, and he can’t give it to you. Though i’d say a lot of pitchers would beg to differ in their opinions.
by Chad Moriyama on Jul 20, 2009 9:39 PM PDT up reply actions
I don't know how much I'd trust Mazzone
but I’d listen to anything Dave Duncan wanted to tell me.
I still don’t buy into anything DLM has to say.
[DELETED ZOMG NO POLITICS]
Why listen to Duncan?
Where’s the proof?
by Chad Moriyama on Jul 20, 2009 9:43 PM PDT up reply actions
Not in mechanics maybe
but the way he’s turned around the careers of guys like Ryan Franklin and Joel Pineiro is pretty impressive.
Pineiro has completely changed the type of pitcher he is this season.

[DELETED ZOMG NO POLITICS]
Point is...
…people on that site and others like to bag on the lack of evidence and supposed ignorance, yet they are themselves being ignorant by not taking everything into consideration.
I assume they don’t believe in scouting either, since you can’t prove that certain players have upside or potential. But wait, they do believe in scouting, which makes it a philosophical divide, doesn’t it?
Seems like a bunch of whining because somebody caught feelings over a pitcher’s mechanics. O’Leary says Broxton has problems. Carroll says Billingsley has problems. I don’t buy either one, but it’s something to consider.
by Chad Moriyama on Jul 20, 2009 9:49 PM PDT up reply actions
I don't know too many stats nerds
who believe that scouting is entirely without merit.
[DELETED ZOMG NO POLITICS]
I am a stat nerd
who loves scouting, and mechanics, because I like knowledge, not being a hard headed ass because I caught feelings over some pitcher I don’t know and somebody’s opinion.
by Chad Moriyama on Jul 20, 2009 9:51 PM PDT up reply actions
The same thing I said at the start
that biomechanics is not a simple science and a bunch of amateurs on a blog can’t predict pitching injuries based on inverted Ws no matter how hard they wish.
[DELETED ZOMG NO POLITICS]
Where did I say it was a simple science?
I read about mechanics the same way I read about scouting, or talk to scouts or coaches, or do it myself.
I take everything with a “boulder of salt” that’s not proven, but it doesn’t invalidate anything at all.
Some mechanics are better than others, there’s no one good way sure. Sorry, I can’t prove it to you with a spreadsheet, but yes, hitters do I have a common vein that seems to lead to more bat speed, and pitchers have the same things. Everybody might be different and nobody can predict injuries because of other factors but it doesn’t make providing information a mistake.
To say so like some people over there and other critics are is equally ignorant, IMO.
by Chad Moriyama on Jul 20, 2009 10:01 PM PDT up reply actions
Steven Ellis has a pretty good beginners site.
Chris O’Leary/RPM Pitching/Eric Cressey/Driveline Mechanics are also good reads.
I guess Marshall would be more advanced.

They certainly seemed to hate his timing and rotation.
But the part that bugged me, because it seemed like it was sensible, was “If you keep doing the same thing expecting different results, you’re cazy.”
It's not easy to change older players...
…there’s a chance he might get hurt again that way, but it might be the only way he can be a major league pitcher. There are lots of factors in everything.
There’s nothing yet that guarantees injury or that you are safe. I absolutely buy that doing certain things puts more stress on the body which is never good for anybody.
Despite lack of ABSOLUTE empirical evidence and a lack of a mechanical efficiency version of wOBA.

I know less than nothing about mechanics,
but seeing that guy go down over and over again is really horrible.
I would be willing to bet
that no matter how perfect his mechanics are, Kuo would still suffer from injuries.

Ya know... why didnt they double SWitch

cuz the best double switch
would take out Kemp or Loney…two of our best defenders
by bucknellbruin on Jul 20, 2009 9:23 PM PDT up reply actions
Hmm... Best but still optoins... remember Piere is on the bench
Sit Kemp for piere, or Ethier, with a 4 run lead would be safe.
Ethier is too high in the batting order to make that move worthwhile
And the dropoff from Kemp in CF to Pierre is a bad move when you are protecting a lead.
Ok Kids, lets learn something from Vinny here
Did you see how gracefull Vinny announced it… he didnt do what most homers do and make a big deal out of it.
He just held up Hairston for the great play it was, and moved on, focusin on the play instead of the drama, thats old school baseball and pure Class.
What’s not to love about Vin?
I just know that right now, I’m still thrilled doing the games," Scully said. "To me, I guess the thermometer would be goose bumps. When there’s a big play and the crowd roars, I still get the goose bumps. And when I do, I think, wow, I still love it.
Seriously, guys like that are not just announcers, they are the heart of this game..
They are the heart of old america… I want my kids to learn from people like that, I wish my Gpa was still around as he was like that (hes actually in the HOF in Oregon for coaching legion League baseball)

Went alright. Dude’s car got a little
dinged up—
I'll be at the Stadium
Don’t wish such a curse on me— er, that would be a Dodger win, eh?

Or stop letting so many runners go first to third?

The two biggest things killing Ethier is his lack of range, and his arm.
People are running on Ethier a lot this year.
Surprising, given his assist #‘s the past two years. He’s shown a gun previously. Not Kemp-esque, but solid.

Big Win for J
…Schmidt has worked his ass off the past two years. He could have shut it down and phoned it in. I have a ton of respect for what he’s done to get back here. Congrats to him!

Eric knows this already
19 Dodger pitchers have at least 1 win (anyone who has pitched at least 5 total innings this year) and every Dodger starter (9) has won at least 1 start.
I thought it was only 18 pitchers (which is a record). Only Vargas and Schlichting are without a win.
