Open Thread: ALCS Game 3

A double dose of playoffs comes your way, beginning with Game Three of the American League Championship Series. The Yankees hold a 2-0 lead over the Angels, who have miscued their way into a hole.
Andy Pettitte goes for NY, while Jered Weaver grabs the ball for Los Angeles.
Still over an hour until game time, but I am certain you can find something to talk about until then.

LOL.
So Mrs. MikeV called just now.
“Hey, just letting you know, I talked to {name removed} and she has H1N1 and since they were over on Saturday we were exposed.”
Um, OK. I’ll drink more fluids and hope I don’t have flu symptoms.
“Okay, I just wanted to let you know. She was worried that we’d be upset.”
Why? It’s the flu. All she has to do is hydrate and rest and she’ll be fine. It’s no different than any other strain of the flu.

True, but 2 hits from your 1st and 4th is pretty meager.

So to clarify one more time
when the ball leaves the hand it is 88 mph, but when it reaches the batter it is only 82mph. So when you hear 90mph, it is important to know where – is it when leaving the hand, half way? We have conducted a survey of hundred MLB players asking them is Moyer’s fastball 55mph when it leaves the hand or when (if) it reaches the plate?

It seems like most "regular" radar gun readings correspond to the Pitchf/x "start_speed" number.
Which is when it’s leaving the hand.
As for Moyer, hell, the thing probably slows down to the residential speed limit.

I find it hilarious that he was 35.5 runs above average with the bat this year.
But 36.4 runs below average with the glove. Net contribution? 1.1 WAR.
Besides, one of those Adam Dunns would have to pitch. I’d pay to see that.

fielding metrics still are a long way from having a solid, accurate foundation. I refuse to believe a LF/1B gave up 36.4 runs over a year solely by defense.

So, if this game keeps going this way
Tomorrow the Angels will place all their hopes on a starter who was outpitched in the finals of an international tournament by his own first baseman. Good luck.

I understand this move, but I'd be hesitant to pull Oliver here
He’s been by far the Angels’ most consistent and reliable reliever, and after A-Rod you have a lefty in Matsui anyway. My inclination would have been to leave Oliver in. Obviously Scioscia knows his bullpen better than I do, but that’s my two cents.

Teixeira, regardless of what UZR or PT believe,
is a damn good 1Bman, GG quality IMO. That has shown up in this series time and time again.
The thing about the Yankees is that they do make fundamental plays well. Not every team does. And they deserve credit for that. But not in the “ZOMG whadda grate play by JEETER!!!!1111” way, just in the “that’s how you’re supposed to do it” way.

Teixiera
is stunning on both sides of the ball & he has saved at leat 4 runs in this series from innings that didn’t develop for the Halos because he stretched and sved Jeter or Cano on wide throws to 1st.
I cannot imagine what it’s like to have a player as good as he is on my team, he is just a monster and has been since he slaughtered us routinely with the Rangers.

Just for the record,
the most recent comment that I’ve made with respect to Mark Teixeira’s fielding was referring to him as a positive type of outcome for Sean Doolittle.
And that was in December 2008.
I should add that it doesn’t account for receiving, either, so the kinds of plays Tex has been making in the postseason just aren’t part of the metric (yet).

What a weird play
First off, I couldn’t believe how far into left field Cabrera was. Someone should have gotten to that ball— if the CF is over that far, you kind of have to shift the RF too… and then the Yankees actually got bailed out by the terrible angle Cabrera took on the ball, because if he plays it correctly the play is just a clean double.
Total brain fart by Abreu, of course. He couldn’t get to third— maybe he could have five years ago, but…

to Johnny Mathis for calling for it 0-2 like that.

if I may veer slightly offtopic here
is there a stat to show how many times a player scores a run when singled home from 1st or 2nd or the amount of times the player advanced from 1st to 3rd on a single? This might be a nice secondary way to evaluate speed other than the SB.
Just a random thought that popped into my ol’ domepiece.

by sirbed on Oct 19, 2009 4:48 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Its not even a metric, its a simple raw number. it could be called “extra base opportunities via single” and you could even have it as a /out of number, like there were 67 times player B hit a single after player A was on 1st, and player A went from 1st to 3rd 36 times, it would look 36/67.
The only problem is that if the player who hits the single is extremely slow it would normally be a double if it were any other hitter but THEN you could create a metric around that using the player who hits the single power/speed number as to render it n/a.
So as an example, Raj Davis is on 1st, then Nomar comes up and hits a deep single that would normally be a double for the league average player. Davis scores, but this doesnt count because Nomar cant run anymore, and you fully expect most players to score from second on a double.
Now replace Nomar with an able-bodied player, say Ryan Sweeney, who hits a single and Raj goes from 1st to 3rd. There’s that extra base that currently isnt recognized by stats, that’s what Im talking about.

On the subject of Scott Boras
(whom, incidentally, I think is a very good agent), do you think he sees players like characters in a mario brothers game, and every time they do something good, coins pop out of the top of their heads?

Chaz Schilens
Schilens is coming back on Sunday. He’s by far our best receiver. Russell trusts him and will throw the ball his way. Maybe his return will open up things for Heyward-Bey and Murphy. Still, if those rookies get their hands on the ball, they have to find a way to catch it.

Rivera though Bob
best chance to win it here might be bunts, not one but even 2, like a squeeze at the end.
Rivera is a buntable pitcher and has trouble fielding them sometimes.

I wonder how effective Rivera is at preventing the squeeze
Seems like “bunt him to 3B, bunt him home” is not out of the question given the hitters coming up and the manager.

If there ever was a part of his game
where he showed nerves, it is fielding bunts and trying to get the lead runner

Had it been Jeter, not Damon, covering his position there, they would have canceled the commercials to tell us about how awesome his instincts are in October.

You can't put on a contact play with first and third and no one out and the infield in
If they go home, you end up with 1st and 2nd and one out and can’t score a run on an out anymore.

99 times out of 100 the LF doesn't "assume" a bad pitcher throw
so early and get into position the way Damon did. That was actually worth gushing over, and if he were Jeter someone probably would be.
