8/28 Indians @ Orioles

I think at least half of Berken's pitches that Pitch f/x is calling the four-seamer is actually a two-seamer.

[Hank Scorpio]

Man, can't be walking guys with a three run lead.

Berken's out of gas, hook him Dave.

[Wadesworld35]

Phew, that ball was smoked.

What do the X and Y axis' measure?

Nice Catch by NICK M:002_sdrool::thumbsup1:

[Arthur_Bryant]

He's done, and not a bad job.

I think Berken may be figuring things out.

Lateral & vertical movement.

Harold Baines is, without a doubt, my favorite Oriole of all time. Of course, my time as an O's fan has been relatively limited.

I love Harold:)

I would have loved to have been at the luncheon:(

May be. If you listen carefully, Palmer's been saying some very good things about him for a while now...

Bob Davison at first may have given us a makeup call...

Look at NICK M:002_sdrool:RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!:wedge:

I has something to do with the release point and the break, but I just can't remember WHAT. I'm trying to find it now. The point I didn't make was that 2 seamers and 4 seamers are very similar and hard to tell apart. I believe 2 seamers have a bigger break, but when it's a break on a fastball, it's hard to tell.

Oh, definitely... Nick was out...

Now, whether he's trying to make up for it, or is just randomly incompetent, well, that's a different question...

The release point is a separate data point.

The two axes measure vertical movement relative to a hypothetical pitch thrown at that speed without spin, and horizontal movement.

EDIT: On Gameday the two values are "Brk" (horizontal) and "PFX" (vertical)
