Is it possible MadBum's post-season greatness is a skill?
august fagerstrom
9:14
His skill is just being great always, and constantly having the opportunity to pitch in the postseason

Jetering

Asdrubal got like four meatballs in that at-bat.
Finally got one.
Netflix and Rich Hill

Cabrera's spray chart would show he should be shifted with 7 guys down the left field line in his next PA

Conor Gillaspie and Jose Reyes being the starting third basemen for the Giants and Mets, respectively, in a Wild Card game in the year 2016 is too good
Dave Cameron
9:17
Pretty sure the high fastball thing is the plan to Yo.
august fagerstrom
9:17
I like that HR graphic
Yeah, the approach against Yo couldn't be more obvious
Dave Cameron
9:18
This is just one pitch over and over.
august fagerstrom
9:18
i love this
Dave Cameron
9:18
And that's different.
Triple deek
9:19
I can't believe he got a piece of that
Dave Cameron

I don't think Bumgarner threw a pitch in the zone that whole at-bat.

9:20
swing at ALL the things!

Bumgarner vs. Cespedes currently in the lead for "thing i want to write about tomorrow"
maybe now usurped by Yo's hair
Dave Cameron
9:20
That breaking ball was great.
Mattingly's Sideburns
9:21
Say you had an extreme groundball pitcher on the mound and a batter that very rarely hit the ball to RF should a team play with 5 infielders and shift your 2 OFs accordingly?
august fagerstrom

oh you mean howie kendrick
Triple deek

Being a lefty here must suck

Why does it seem like there's so many underwhelming rosters in the postseason this year?
august fagerstrom
9:22
injuries

cameron battery update vs mad bum pitch count?
Dave Cameron
9:22
He passed me a minute or two ago.

When they had the HR v LHP graphic overlaid, you could see Yoenis' pre-AB swings go directly through the heart of the plot. Anything to that?
SpencerLB
9:23
The 4th inning is as long as the first 3 innings
august fagerstrom
9:23
Yeah, Pedro talked about this on MLB Network last year. Been meaning to write a post about that actually
He said he'd look at hitter's pre-AB swings and read their planes
That they'd alwas swing where they wanted the ball
Dave Cameron
9:23
Got away with another middle-middle fastball.
9:24
Bumgarner's command that inning was awful.
Bork
9:25
Who's going to take over if Dave's laptop doesn't make it? Surely you don't trust the one armed man.

A++++++++ comment
weezy
9:26
so this is the thing about command I find interesting: Thor's painted the black on lots of pitches, BumBum missed a lot of spots that inning. But Thor's got two walks, MadBum none. I know rediculously SSS, but have we moved away from bb% as a proxy for command?
august fagerstrom
9:26
I'm not sure many people view BB% as a proxy for command
