What's Love But What Shows Up In the Dark? 9/7 Game Thread, Red Sox at Jays

PrintBoston Red Sox at Toronto Blue Jays, Sep 7, 2011 7:07 PM EDT
Yesterday wasn't the most fun Jays game, was it? Luis Perez has done a decent job out of the bullpen and as swingman for the Jays this season but I'm not sure I see the point in giving him many more starts.
But it was great to see Dustin McGowan back on the mound - in fact, almost worth getting blown out by Boston. The Jays look to bounce back today behind starter Brandon Morrow. The run and change of space between Morrow's ERA and his FIP and xFIP suggest he's been unfortunate, but his tRA has jumped significantly this season (it's 3.92 at the moment) and he has become more of a flyball pitcher. Brandon has all but abandoned his curveball this season, cut down on the use of his changeup, and relied more heavily on his slider and fastball, which makes sense considering those are the two pitches that have been successful for him this year. It'd be nice to see him finish the season strong.
Tim Wakefield pitches for Boston and what is there to say about him.
Today's title comes from the great New Pornographers' song "Up in the Dark." Just heard Ted Leo do a great version of it on the Best Show, which really is pretty much the best show for any music and/or comedy fans out there. I can't believe there are two one-stop shops to get my Paul F. Thompkins and Ted Leo fix (the other being the great Sound of Young America) (well, three including this video).

If you know you are going to be safe

probably because, even with wakefield, its not 100%
and its 2 outs

My friends, love is better than anger. Hope is better than fear. Optimism is better than despair. So let us be loving, hopeful and optimistic. And we'll change the world. - JL
It doesn't have to be 100%
in that case, the breakeven is probably closer to 90% (given the knuckleball’s tendency to go wild) . . . if you can make it 90% or more, you go. Look at the jump he got — he knew he had a better than 90% chance. I ask again, why wouldn’t you go?
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"
because if he was caught, it'd be a costly mistake
he wasn’t caught, great, but I don’t like the move

Again, it's a question of what the breakeven-rate is
in that case, he knew he’d have an excellent jump and he stole the base off the pitcher. I really don’t see what there is not to like about it . . . he saw that he could almost certainly get a free base and he did it . . . i like it plenty
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"

Why are you so bad with runners on base? Every time a runner gets on base, I expect runs galore against you, and it comes true. WHY DO U DO THIS TO ME!?

LOB is mostly not a skill. He’ll be better next season

His FB/GB rate skews when men are on base
and his HR/FB rate too.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
GB rates don't skew LOB rate
weaver has a worse GB rate and an 80% LOB rate

HR/FB rates skew LOB rate
because if you let someone score on a homer, you can’t strand them.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
kind of a small sample there, though
if HR/fly even stabilizes, it’s going to take a long time
"Look at me! I'm Tomokazu Ohka of the Montreal Expos!"
only 2 guys of the top 10 HR/FB rate guys have lower than 70% LOB rate
other guys are mostly average or even above average

I'm sorry
But when you have this much trouble with runners on base, there is something wrong mechanically and mentally.

I'm sorry
I have trouble believing that Morrow, after probably more than a decade of pitching, suddenly forgot how to throw with men on base

He had trouble last season as well
Something is going on.

don't jump to conclusions
look for past examples. provide me with examples of pitchers who couldn’t pitch with men on base. I have problems believing that morrow is the first ever to do so

sorry, haven't got them
just seemed to be the times that he struggled to me (when he had to pitch from the stretch).
He's had a higher fly ball rate with men on than with the bases empty
for the past few years.
They're not just hitting home runs. They're doing the little things, like hitting doubles.
in 2008 he didn't
last year, it was by 4%. This season doesn’t look like an abberation to you?

I want 2010 Morrow back..,
also, 2009 Lind, and 2010 Cecil
An unsophisticated forecaster uses statistics as a drunken man uses lamp-posts - for support rather than for illumination.
Andrew Lang
2010 Cecil wasn't that great, solid but #4 on a good team
Do you have a young, talented cost controlled player having a down year who's "attitude" has cased problems with an aging player or manager?
Don't worry, I Alex Anthopoulos will take him off your hands, I'll even give you some moderately useful veterans that will "help you make a playoff run".
4.22, 4.03, 4.15
ER, FIP, and xFIP respectively. Not that great, good, but not great

the numbers would be better if not for his september. He was like 6+ ERA in september if I remember correctly
you said 2010 Cecil
that includes his bad months and his good months
