Tempest, Teamwork, Triumph (At Sea): 9/10 Game Thread, Baltimore at Jays

Email
PrintThe Jays' weekend series didn't get off to a great start last night against the denizens of Charm City, but today is another day. I'm enjoying my weekend home before taking off on the road AGAIN - great weather, had a great 10 mile run this morning, played a little guitar, walked the dog, and now settling in for the Jays' game. Also, if you haven't yet gotten a chance to check it out, scroll down - I wrote up a brief piece on Brett Cecil this morning.
Henderson Alvarez pitches for the Jays - he's been an exciting watch so far this season. He's averaged over 93 mph on his fastball and has plenty of movement to boot, but yet he has managed to control it very well so far this season (just a walk and a half per nine innings thusfar). He's also displayed a nice hard slider with plenty of movement of its own as well as a quality changeup. It has been groundballs aplenty for Alvarez, and combining grounders with low walk rates is a great way to succeed in the AL East. I wouldn't mind penciling him into the 2012 rotation, even if he is being assisted by a .245 BABIP and an 82.5% strand rate, neither of which is sustainable.
Rick Vanden Hurk pitches for Baltimore and the Eindhoven, Netherlands native (perhaps a favourite of Woodman?) is making his first start of 2011.
Toronto's Lineup:
Escobar, ss
Thames, lf
Bautista, rf
Lind, 1b
Teahen, dh
Lawrie, 3b
Johnson, 2b
Molina, c
Wise, cf
Let's go Jays!

Two questions which I am too lazy to go back and look for since people here will know right away...
1. What is the Jays rookie record for consecutive scoreless innings?
2. Did Morrow allow a GIDP last outing?
OT - what do tech guys think of this laptop?

My job (at the race track), race season ends in October, so I might get another job and save up for this beauty..I really want a good laptop with a reasonable video card for playing on MLB 2K10, I think I’ll make a franchise and put the videos on Youtube if I get this.

To be honest, the card in that machine is a pretty low end card…and by pretty I mean very.

Also Lenovo generally doesn’t make machines desiged for gaming as it is.

I remember telling a few that Lawrie’s defensive troubles could improve with coaching from Brian Butterfield, and they didn’t believe me.

not normally this early
also, he’s still in his first year learning the position. i’d think he should be better at third next year

I agree
It would be nice if Butterfield stays with the club next year. Could help Lawrie a lot.

That's mostly outfielders from my understanding.
Infielders have more of a finesse element to their game that allows improvement, at least when they’re new to the position.
I'm not sure so I can't really say
I just remember UZR and other defensive metrics peaking at an early age.

here
http://www.hardballtimes.com/main/article/fielding-aging-curves/
this study says infielder peak defence occurs somewhere between 22/23 and 28
I’d say that’s probably about right
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"
so mid 20s, usually
but lawrie’s learning a new position, so he might not follow that pattern

true
i think there’s a good chance we’ll see his glovework peak around age 25 or 26 . . . he’ll have had plenty of time to learn third by then and he should still be in his athletic prime
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"
I think it's like that mid 20s for outfielders, who then drop off fast in their 30s.
Infielders don’t really show the same sharp peaks and valleys in their defensive value through age, until they get really old. A good defensive infielder is going to stay good well into their 30s, even if there’s a bit of a dropoff over time.
yeah
it makes sense that outfielders would drop off a bit quicker but there are more subtle things that can cause declines in infielders in their late 20’s . . . diving a lot can take its toll on the body, maybe guys aren’t quite as limber, they’re playing banged up a bit more, etc.
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"
No one that has ever seen Pedro Alvarez at third. That man has fielding problems.
