Felix, fastball
96mph
6% swinging strike
21% in play
.352 BA on contact
.571 SLG on contact
Brandon Morrow, fastball
96mph
14% swinging strike
12% in play
.285 BA on contact
.500 SLG on contact
Velocity isn't everything, Felix. Your fastball isn't very good. Establish the change.

By the way, I answered a few questions about Brandon Morrow over at the SBN Berkeley blog, so check those out in case you've nothing better to do. Bear in mind that the questions were answered prior to his start. Rest assured that, were I to do it again, my answers now would extend to Morrow several more offers of a sexual nature.

At least you limit your whorish nature to pitchers.

Hockey players don't count.

WRONG

Amended.
Hockey players don’t count when discussing Jeff’s whorish nature with baseball players.

"might as well go for gold before you settle for silver."
Nice, very nice.

This is really hard to do in Pitch F/x
But Felix has two fastballs, and we have to distinguish between them – the two-seamer is actually a great pitch when he has even okay command of it, but his four seamer sucks.

Hey Jeff,
I am sure i am not the only one to notice, but according to fangraphs, Felix’s fastball MPH has been drasitically dropping. he went from having a comfortable lead no less then a month ago to being .20 pecentage points behind JIminez. Given an entire year of data that means that Felix’s fastball has been well below his average for the past month and a half to see such a change, any insights?
Trenchtown2 - September 6, 2008
Throwing the 2-seamer more.

So is there a reason today's Open Game Thread is closed?
Goose - September 6, 2008
Late! I was trying to find a live body to ask this very question.
dpseadv - September 6, 2008
Phew, at least I'm not the only one that can't get in.
I thought perhaps you people had finally decided to get rid of me.
Goose - September 6, 2008
Ha!
I was just checking my email account to see if I’d been notified of banishment.
dpseadv - September 6, 2008
Maybe they just banned us both from the threads. Only two of us are noticing this? And 15 minutes after the game has already started?
Man, what did we do!?
Goose - September 6, 2008
Exhaustion by the staff after last night?
Need to stretch them out, get them ready for next season.
dpseadv - September 6, 2008
Hey, you're a regular.
Start a fanpost gamethread, that would be hilarious! Especially since it seems it’s just the two of us. Plus all these comments are off topic for this post, it makes me feel guilty.
dpseadv - September 6, 2008
Did you just call yourself a regular?
R.J. Anderson - September 6, 2008
No, I called Goose a regular.
dpseadv - September 6, 2008
Give me a sec and I'll have one up.
Goose - September 6, 2008
Got it.
ThundaPC - September 6, 2008
Bannings are much more frustrating than that
Robert - September 6, 2008
Today's not Fun Fact.
With the loss today, the Arizona Diamondbacks are out of first place for the first time since April 7th, a span of 133 games. This is far and away a franchise record.
Brandon Webb got shelled for his third consecutive start and was once again denied his 20th win. There’s gotta be something wrong with him. Oh and RJ is gonna miss tomorrow’s start with a shoulder issue(Mad Max will start in his place)
Congrats Dodgers(and Bluemax). Enjoy being one of the worst division winners ever. You’ll be swept by the Cubs in the NLDS.
Goose - September 6, 2008
Don't have time to follow any of those teams.
Which is disappointing, I try and keep up with ex M’s, and Mike Price is one of my favorites.
dpseadv - September 6, 2008
Felix, Morrow, then RRS.
This is about as good as it gets for the M’s this year. I took listen to the Armstrong interview this morning, really disappointed with his perspective on just about everything.
dpseadv - September 6, 2008
ahahah Jeff got owned by a cookie
Dewey N - September 6, 2008
We should have Matthew start a Huskies blog so this way he can ask McCovey Chronicles about Tim Lincecum
