Talking Points
  • Tonight’s starters.
    Freddy Garcia Felix Hernandez is so far having his best season, highlighted by the fact he has more Ks than innings pitched. His velocity, however, continues to decline. From a rookie season high of 95.8 mph, his fastball is now averaging 93.5 mph.
    Matt Palmer has been solid (5.4Ks per 9, 4.23 FIP). My concern is that his velocity is below average (around 87 mph) and he primarily throws fastballs and cutters (about 74% of the time). Here’s hoping that a weak Mariners lineup and a big ballpark works to Matt’s advantage. (stat source: www.fangraphs.com)
  • Forget the Wood talk.. Abreu (.348 SLG) and Rivera (.389 SLG) are not close to their usual power levels. Unless they are hurt, I expect both these guys to improve in the SLG department. It isn’t like they forgot how to hit; their BB, K and line drive rates are all within reason and in fact, both Abreu and Rivera are showing improved plate discipline and contact year-over-year.

Percentage of time swings at pitches outside the strike zone (2008 vs. 2009)
Abreu: 16.6% vs. 14.4%
Rivera: 30.3% vs. 21.2%

Percentage of swings in which contact is made (2008 vs. 2009)
Abreu: 84.9% vs. 85.6%
Rivera: 84.5% vs. 90.0%

The power should be coming.

One more thing
  • A .439 lifetime slugging percentage in the minors with the body-type of Weird Al Yankovic, but a .515 career SLG mark at the MLB level.
  • 11 HRs at age 27
  • 14 HRs at age 28
  • 37 HRs at age 37

Gee, what a spike in power.

Weird Edgar Yankovic, indeed!

Again, I think it’s possible that toriithehunter doesn’t even play. someone is just penciling in his name for laughs…I don’t think you could keep that from happening right?

admins can check on stuff like that

your conspiracy theory is not correct. logical and insidious, yes; aligned with the dark side of human nature, yes; but i checked log in times.

Sorry guy’s, I don’t have much time to make my picks so I usually have my little girl do it. I was not aware that you needed to post a comment. I am now. Won’t happen again!

I see.

just give me a heads up with this kind of thing. I’m generally very easy to work with!
You just got to give me heads up if you’re going to be heading into difficulties.

Otherwise I’ll just think you’re some internet troll or something!
Well. I’m glad you’re aware of this now :)

Trying to submit form, but form keeps kicking back telling me to enter my name, which is there.

Sorry scottnak, but your need to yell at ToriiTheHunter has your form jacked up. It is pulling your complaint into your form for every submission as the final cell. Except, of course, on my submission when it is blocking it altogether.

Well... it is part of the form...

You’re required to answer it if you want something to submit…
