This has been needed for years. 1 pitcher pitches 7 innings...6 more finish the game - on each side! I admit I lost my interest in following the game to a degree because the last 3 innings ground the game to a halt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiznak Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Everyone who are livid at the Astros players’ for sign stealing ............ are still ignoring their split stats AWAY from Minute Maid Park, during the season. Which are near identical (some better) than playing at Minute Maid Park. These are some valid points I made in the Astros’ sign stealing thread, that people seem to ignore. On 1/17/2020 at 1:38 AM, shiznak said: Exactly, the only advantage of knowing the next pitch (whether it’d be a fastball or an off-speed pitch) for the batter is their timing, but that doesn’t make them make contact with the ball. I dug a lot deeper and compared the Astro’s home stats and away stats from that season. Home: Plate app. - 3009 Avg - .279 Runs - 395 Hits - 759 HRs - 117 SLG% - .472 Away: Plate app. - 3262 Avg - .284 Runs - 501 Hits - 827 HRs - 123 SLG% - .483 As you can see, away from Minute Made Park, without the technology of stealing signs. They are just as good, if not better, than playing at home. On 1/17/2020 at 12:58 PM, shiznak said: Does it matter, they were apparently cheating throughout the entire season, but here are the stats anyways. Home: Plate app. - 297 Avg - .273 Hits - 81 Runs - 51 HRs - 18 SLG% - .519 Away: Plate app. - 308 Avg - .209 Hits - 54 Runs - 27 HRs - 9 SLG% - .347 Obviously, it’s a drop off compared to the regular season, but any player in any sports can tell you that it’s a lot harder to win a playoff game on the road then at home. Despite the poor stats, they were still 2nd in hits, home runs, and runs scored on the road, during that playoff run. Ironically, no other team had a better stat line on the road then at home, with the exception of the Dodgers. They played a lot better away from Dodgers Stadium. On 1/17/2020 at 1:48 PM, shiznak said: Alright, let’s compared stats to other star players from a different team that playoff year. Home: Gregoruis - .368/7 hits/3 Runs/1HR/4RBI/.684 SLG - 19 AB Judge - .333/7H/7R/3HRs/10RBI/.903 - 24 AB Sanchez - .292/7H/3R/2HR/6RBI/.625 - 21 AB Seager - .303/7H/4R/1HR/5RBI/.522 - 23 AB Turner - .300/9H/3R/3HR/10RBI/.600 - 30 AB Puig - .321./9H/3R/2HR/7RBI/.679 - 28 AB Away: Gregoruis - .175/5H/2R/2HR/3RBI/.379 SLG - 29 AB Judge - .074/2H/2R/1HR/1RBI/.185 - 27 AB Sanchez - .138/2H/2R/1HR/2RBI/.241 - 29 AB Seager - .133/2H/3R/4RBI/.200 - 15 AB Turner - . 269/7H/5R/1HR/2RBI/.462 - 26 AB Puig - .250/7H/5R/1HR/3RBI/.357 - 28 AB I didn’t do Bellinger’s stats because he played significantly better away then at home. Bryant, Rizzo, and Baez, pretty much sucked throughout the entire playoffs (although Baez played better away then at home) and statistically their home and away split stats had very little differences. Harper and Rendon played better at home, but only played 5 games. So, I didn’t bother putting their stats out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan was born in August 2000, and John and Kelly launched the Jordan Fund in 2003. Olerud was an extremely popular player during his MLB career both on and off the diamond. He batted .295 and piled up more than 2,000 hits from 1989 to 2005. Our thoughts are with him and his family during this difficult time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a parent, there's nothing worse than having to bury a child....even if they're technically adults. Sounds like poor Jordan never really had much of a life. My heart goes out to the best pure hitter ever to pull on the Jays uni.... RIP Jordan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nuckin_futz Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Hall-of-Fame Pitcher Roy Halladay Was on Drugs When Plane Crashed Halladay was using his Icon A5 to do extreme acrobatics prior to losing control of the plane Roy Halladay of the Philadelphia Phillies delivers a pitch in 2010. (Jim McIsaac/Getty) By Evan Bleier / April 16, 2020 9:43 am At the time of his fatal small plane crash in November of 2017 off the coast of Florida, Hall-of-Fame pitcher Roy Halladay had drugs in his system, according to a National Transportation Safety Board report issued Wednesday. In addition to a high level of amphetamine, Halladay’s blood also contained heightened levels of morphine and an anti-depressant that can impair judgment. The NTSB report also found Halladay was using his Icon A5 to do extreme acrobatics prior to losing control of the plan, including steep climbs and tight turns that sometimes brought the aircraft within five feet of the water below. During his final maneuver, Halladay entered a steep climb that dropped the plane’s speed to about 85 miles per hour. That drop sent the propeller-driven plane into a nosedive into the ocean. While the report doesn’t state why the 40-year-old lost control of the two-seat aircraft or list a cause for the crash, it does say he died of blunt force trauma and drowning, citing a medical examiner. Inducted into the Hall of Fame posthumously last year, Halladay was an eight-time All-Star and two-time Cy Young Award winner with the Blue Jays and Phillies, going 203-105 with a 3.38 ERA during his 16 years in the majors. His widow Brandy responded to the NTSB’s report through comments released by Major League Baseball: “Yesterday’s NTSB report on Roy’s accident was painful for our family, as it has caused us to relive the worst day of our lives. It has reinforced what I have previously stated, that no one is perfect. Most families struggle in some capacity and ours was no exception. We respectfully ask that you not make assumptions or pass judgement. Rather, we encourage you to hug your loved ones and appreciate having them in your lives. As a family, we ask that you allow Roy to rest in peace.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 Anyone here following the owners-players drama? The MLB is different than other American sports leagues because so much of their revenue comes from ticket sales. But as it stands I see a players' strike coming. I wonder if this will effect negotiations in other leagues as well . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmen81 Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 So last year I went to Nashville to watch the Titans play. Vanderbilt is in Nashville and we were staying basically right next to the campus. We were walking around and saw where they play baseball. Noticed a few guys were hanging around about the hit some balls. Looked them up and noticed Martin was a top prospect. Talked to him briefly, and figured I would focus on him to see where his career goes. Love that he goes to the Jays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
