6/19: Orioles at Tigers

[cmurter]

what would you rather take. Pitch efficient and ineffective or pitch inefficient and effective. I bring you Chris Tillman.

Not sure how that one would work

[Malike]

I don't know if there is a greater mode than "Beast Mode," but if there isn't we need to create one, because Chris Davis has officially exceeded Beast Mode.

God Mode > Beast Mode.

[Norfolk orioles]

Hardy with the stolen base!

It's obvious. Few pitches. Lots of runs.

[caesarod]

Why do I get nervous when an old guy* like JJ steals?

*Yeah, yeah. I got 20 years on him.

It's just frustrating because it's so glaring. You look at guys like Markakis, Davis, Mclouth, Hardy, they tend to be more balanced hitter.s Other guys like Flaherty and Teagarden just can't hit anything regardless. Then you see Machado and Jones and they hammer everything and look like the best hitters in the game at times. Then they slider comes and they look soooo bad.

Manny has a -0.14 wSL/C which basically means he costs the team .14 runs per 100 pitches when sliders are thrown to him. He was 0.85 last year. He's worse against two-seamers (-0.85) and sinkers (-3.12). Just about every hitter has pitches they don't hit well but thankfully, pitchers need other pitches to set them up and Manny hits the hell out of fastballs (3.24), cutters (2.97) and is plus or just about every other pitch. He's fine regardless of the fact that he'll chase a slider for a K occasionally against some good pitchers.

The pitcher's spot is up.

[Going Underground]

See Mr. Ryan. Go the other way and good things happen. The Mighty T is up.

[Malike]

Taylor Swift at the plate.

[Norfolk orioles]

Teagarden is due!

[InsideCoroner]

C'mon TT. Prove us all wrong.

[benefactor]

That was a fastball, Gary? Hahaha

[Juanvald]

Boldest prediction of the year. Home run right now for TT.

[pollaxt]

Comedy!
