[Official] Mariners @ Astros

They're squaring it up, just right at guys.

 

Maldy can’t keep striking out at nearly a 50% clip forever and still get almost all the playing time, right?

 

Yes.

Or no.

 

seagar's running motion is weird lol

 

Astros have an incentive to not play Castro. 250k raise next year for every 10 games he plays up to 2 million

 

So Javier was the worst SP in MLB last year at 1st strike %?

That explains a lot.

 

**** your no-hitter

 

I think that’s worth it given the alternative. Maybe though Maldy has some Godlike game calling ability that’s worth 2-3 wins a season. I’ve never understood the Astros love affair with him.

 

Brantley breaks up the no-no

That is all

 

i still don't know how bregman hit all those HRs in 2019

 

That was an excellent AB from Bregman.

 

That is at least the 4th bad strike call in 3 games against Yordan.

 

Tuck Time !!

ETA- well-placed infield hit for the RBI (106 exit velo)

He's made great contact 2-2 tonight

 

TUCKER GOT HIM SOME LUCK

 

ohhhh, his luck is turning?

 

Do any of the fangraphs/savant type guys keep track of called in/out of the zone strikes on individual batters?

 

Baseball Savant has a search feature that can do it for the rule book strike zone (i.e., rectangular instead of circular blob that is called).

Yordan is 7th in balls called strikes and Straw is 15th.

 

I love it when data backs up the eyeball test.

Thanks, man.

 

Tucker showing off the arm while running right at the bag. What was the runner thinking?
