I do not get this pitch sequencing from Buehler

Paul Sporer

9:27

Wait what's this? I definitely need some more dinner ideas

Dan Szymborski

9:27

More of my neural network nonsense.

Paul Sporer

9:27

Dan Szymborski

9:27

Paul Sporer

9:27

I was thinking Soroka would shift it about 5 points. Nice to know ZiPs agreed with me.

The Rookie Pache showing some good plate discipline.

Okay, I thought Buehler had a plan just against Swanson but he seems to be putting it in the same spot against Pache.

Dan <== had a pocket protector and slide rule when he was a younger lad...

Dan Szymborski

9:29

No way!

9:30

I was about as forgettable and generic as you can imagine.

I doubt 95% of people in my high school class had any positive or negative impression of me.

Historically, using foreign substances was banned for two reasons. The first, because pine tar made the baseballs brown. The second reason was because slippery stuff allowed the ball to slip out of the pitcher's hand (lower the spin rate in modern terms). If it slipped too much, pitchers could lose control.

and you still are dan!

😭😭

Wood

You weren't *that* outspoken libertarian kid?

Dan Szymborski

9:31

After elementary school, I learned to not torment the other kids.

Pache is a walk machine in the playoffs. 100% guaranteed.

Brandon

9:31

Pache looks so much like a young Andruw Jones, it's nearly uncanny.

Dan Szymborski

9:32

Looks like another one of those weird 4 innings, 7 strikeouts, 0 runs starts for Buehler!

LFC Mike

9:32

Paul I was thinking from the offensive side of the Duvall injury as I don’t believe Pache can bring that kind of power? but is definitely fine defensively

Dan Szymborski

9:33

John

9:33

I have been wondering if bauer's (likely) use of foreign substance in such a flagrant way is a long game scheme to shame mlb into policing them better and thus cutting down on strikeouts

Dan Szymborski

9:33

Haha, like you can shame MLB.

Joe

9:33

Why does the mlb at bat app get worse year to year? It does right? I’m not crazy? This year’s issue seems to be forgetting what happened to the last batter.

Dan Szymborski

9:34

The technology stuff taht the statcast crew doesn't have a had in tends to get a little worse every year, IMO.

Like in the old days in MLB.TV, you coudl actually click on a play in the game log and get taken to that play in the replay

So many usability things have gotten worse in MLBAM

Shaming any North American sports league is a tall order.

Man how did the Braves score so many dang runs with so many low-OBP guys? A lot of PAs for Duvall, Riley...of course, the top half of the lineup all hit like all-timers.

Connecting…
