chasfh Posted May 1, 2022 Posted May 1, 2022 Even a snowcone is a catch. Great inning by Brieske. Build on that. Quote
mtutiger Posted May 1, 2022 Posted May 1, 2022 Beau was locating his fastball/chageup much better that inning. Quote

Just a good ol’ country fastball. Striking out a recent MVP like that can be a wake-up moment for a brand new big leaguer: “Hey, I can hang with these guys.” 1 Quote

Tigermojo Posted May 1, 2022 Posted May 1, 2022 We're going to witness history tonight by Kershaw. Most strikeouts in Dodgers history. Quote
chasfh Posted May 1, 2022 Posted May 1, 2022 Raise your hand if you had Derek Hill as the first one tonight to hit a sharp extra-base hit. Now put your hand down, because you’re lying. 1 Quote

What would be the difference? if the speed is measured in the direction of travel, which I think it probably is, and say the ball is hit at a 20deg launch angle, then its forward velo is its absolute velo times the cos of 20 deg, (about 0.94). So for the sake of a hypothetical, if the the batter hits it on a rope line at 100ft/sec (88mph) to first and the 1b is exactly ten feet behind the bag (100 ft away), it gets there in exactly 1 sec. But the same ball hit at a 20deg launch angle passes over his head in ~1.06 seconds. Of course for a ball hit on the ground the bounce makes all the difference and that has all kinds of factors like spin and dirt vs grass and how much rain recently etc, so probably more complex than worth worrying about!

RandyMarsh Posted May 1, 2022 Posted May 1, 2022 Just turning on the game, has Shep made the Stafford/Kershaw backstory yet? Quote
chasfh Posted May 1, 2022 Posted May 1, 2022 Whoa, Javy, what a shot! And the bobble in left ensures the tying run! Come on, boys, keep it up! Quote
mtutiger Posted May 1, 2022 Posted May 1, 2022 Holy shit, they scored a run against Kershaw. Its a damn miracle! Quote
gehringer_2 Posted May 1, 2022 Posted May 1, 2022 Of all the guys not to K against Kershaw... 1 Quote

I’m not sure where the number comes from. I had assumed that it was the speed within a few feet off the bat, but I don’t know. It really doesn’t matter, because it’s all relative to how the fielders field it, anyway. I didn’t see anything wrong with how the Tigers played it. Schoop fielded it clean and there was no hitch or delay from Javy in turning it, and TORK! scooped it cleanly. So I don’t see what we did to cause it. That’s why I thought it was just hit too slowly, especially to get a guy who sprints at the 44th percentile. Quote

I was just a little surprised, mostly because Muncy did get down there pretty well and made it not even close. Edited May 1, 2022 by gehringer_2 Quote
chasfh Posted May 1, 2022 Posted May 1, 2022 Whoa,on the replay, Baez looked pissed when the ball shot into the outfield. Quote
