Do they mean swing and miss % when they say whiff %?

 

Probably just K%, I'm sure they aren't going that far into things.

Yes.

Nice start... go pound this kid and get some runs right away.

[Chris B]

Good inning by Jake.

 

Let's get the lead early against this guy.

Nah, it's swing and miss... Hunter cited that stat earlier - graphic said "whiff", but he verbally said, "whiff, or swing and miss % for Jake".

Falls in for Nate... stealing 2nd?

[BSLChrisStoner]

Doesn't need to, helped out by LA.

[Chris B]

McLouth singles, wild pitch and he gets to 2nd.

I'm very impressed that my dog is enjoying the few ounces of Natty Boh I gave her. Her face after the first sip was priceless though.

This water tastes odd.

Machado called out on the appeal. 1 down. Tough call.

[Chris B]

No way that was a K.

Do you ever feel like on those appeal calls, when the batter takes it upon himself to head to first, that the ump rings him up on spite? Just as if to say "I'm making the calls around here pal."

[Chris B]

Alright, nice to take the lead!

1-0 Good guys on the Markakis RBI single.

On close ball 4s where the player goes to 1st without a call from the home ump, 95% of the time the ump seems to call a strike.

I've always thought it was a factor. Many umps probably take it as showing up their authority.

Jones drilled up and in.

[JeremyStrain]

The best thing that could happen is that Jake dominates today, and the O's trade him tomorrow. :/

 

Just can't say he's ever going to be more than an up and down 5th starter type. I think he could be great in say WAS as an upgrade over Haren/Detwiler whoever you think is the 5th starter, but he's not going to be the top 3 guy they need him to be here.

 

Move him to the pen or deal him for something sound. The inconsistency is maddening.

Fife seems pretty wild to me, thus far. Leaving a lot up in the zone.
