Count full to Trumbo.

Interesting... Pitch FX has Tillman throwing a slider 5% of the time so far in '13. Palmer relays Tillman's comments that he does not throw a slider.

 

Interesting. Brooks Baseball has a guy who checks the grips on the pitches from gameday photos to determine where MLBAM might be getting it wrong. Surprised he hasn't caught on.

Tillman has looked good so far IMO. Pitch calling has been eh.

 

That's actually what I'm watching the game for. His best pitch and out-pitch is the curve, so I'm looking to see when and how much they are calling it. Also interesting...MW is taking pitch calls from the dugout.

Another walk. 2 on, 2 out.

Yeah pitch f/x will read some pitches incorrectly. It has a lot of trouble with curves and sliders.

Markakis throws out Trout to end the inning...  nice.

[Chris B]

Lot of pitches this inning...

[fishteacher]

TROUT IS GUTTED AT HOME PLATE!!!!!!!!!!  WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[You Play to Win the Game]

Why?  My kids are kinda tough and it's more an elective, but i keep it current and based on sports and pop culture as much as possible...they learn SOMETHING I think.

 

You sound like one of the good ones.

[Why Not?]

Blows on fingertip, puts back in pretend holster.

Someone alert the authorities, that man has a GUN!

[JeremyStrain]

Holy crap, I want a GIF of Trout's face on that one. That was a WTF moment.

[Bosibus]

Wieters deked him.

Soooooooo, what you're saying is you fear he won't go 6 innings...and we'd be shocked?!  This IS the Orioles' starting pitching after all...

Ugh. I hate throwing two straight CBs to Pujols after 0-2. Go Cutter or Fastball on that 1-2 count. Attack the zone.

 

Part of why he was successful in 2012 was because he mixed his pitches better, threw more fastballs when ahead & more breaking balls when behind.

Wieters deked him.

 

He was so confused. He was just trotting in and then was like wait, what???

[fishteacher]

Sorry, but Trout got fat...

[BSLChrisStoner]

Blanton is Tommy Hunter esque with I think less stuff.... should see a few bombs tonight.

 

Jones taps back. 1 out.

[fishteacher]

Again....we're making Joe Blanton look like Joe "Cy Young" Blanton.

[BSLChrisStoner]

Davis flies out. 2 down.
