Justin Verlander's Slider - There were some rough patches early, but Verlander battled through to give Houston the victory in Game 1. He ended an 11-pitch at-bat against Andrew Benintendi in the opening frame with an excellent Slider down into the rookie's ankles.
Voted Dellin. That was a vintage performance and I was so happy to see it even in a losing effort like that last night.
(Also that’s A-A-Ron Hicks striking out on the Miller slider.)
D’oh, yes it is. Thanks for the heads up!
How are the lists coming? May as well take your time, but I am curious!
Hoping to get a lot of it done to be up on Monday morning. I’m debating how much research I want to do for this one as I know it won’t be as polished as the rankings in February, but I obviously want them to be good n all.
Then there are all these games I need to watch…
Dynasty Lists next week for sure though. 100% as that’s not me!
I think Sale’s was a ball. Nice frame job though.
Brooks says it was a strike: http://www.brooksbaseball.net/pfxVB/numlocation.php?pitchSel=519242&game=gid_2017_10_05_bosmlb_houmlb_1/&batterX=4&innings=yyyyyyyyy&sp_type=1&s_type=4&league=mlb&pnf=&zlpo=
How accurate is that data? Is it the same stuff that you see on a broadcasted pitch tracker? I have no idea, but I have heard MLB guys say that the pitch trackers are not always accurate. I know that pitch trackers look pretty crude based on the naked eye.
Hi, do you think you can write about why the starting pitchers have performed horribly in the post season?
