Yesterday, we were seeing clear strikes being called balls. I just wanted to check that.

If I was an ump when Ollie was pitching

I would treat it as a half day and just call everything a ball, I’ll only be wrong like 45% of the time.

Actually

It’s much worse than that. If we take away swinging strikes, foul balls and balls put into play, and only count called strikes, we’re really talking about 13.5% of Perez’s pitches last night (15 of 111). Basically, the umpire could just call everything that wasn’t swung at a ball and he wouldn’t be in bad shape.

Where can I find tables with % swinging strikes, called strikes ?

by Michkin on Aug 13, 2009 9:41 AM EDT up reply actions

Well

For the season you can get figures from StatCorner. ESPN boxscores have the raw pitch breakdowns for each game, so you just have to divide by the total number of pitches thrown to get the rates.

Haha good point.

Even though Ollie was being Ollie yesterday (6BB), I counted 8 strikes being called balls

I know, some were borderline and you won’t get all calls, but he was “less worse” than it seems.

On the other hand, look at those 2 balls outside the graph:

what's the difference between approach and strikezone?

Approach is ajusted to Inside and Outside (doesn't matter if left hand/right hand batters)

Reminds me of

a Lite Brite. Anyone else remember those?

Judging by the comments to Matt Callan’s ode to 1986 Mets: A Year To Remember from a few weeks back, the video has a devoted Mets fan following. Despite being too young to remember anything about that season, it has a special place in my fandom as well. It was part of a two video rotation (Ghostbusters being the other) which ran almost daily on my television for a few years in the early 90s. And it remained a once-in-awhile watch through high school and college.

Unsurprisingly, the physical tape deteriorated over time, and the screen jumps and sound skips made for a less than optimal viewing experience. With sale of the video discontinued, my brother converted it to DVD and gave it to me for Christmas in 2010. See the picture above for the box and DVD. He even created a scene selection function which can be accessed from the main menu. "Get Metsmerized!" plays on loops on the menu screen. It is my favorite Christmas gift ever and is still nice to throw on for a watch.

I was flipping through some of my parents' photo albums this afternoon in search of one particular shot of the sign my older sister made for Mets Banner Day back in the late eighties. Though I didn't find that one — I'll post it when I eventually track it down, and I can assure you that it's Keith-themed — but I did stumble upon this wonderful photo of my younger sister's stuffed animal menagerie spread out in front of a glorious rainbow-festooned Mets pennant, also from the late eighties.

She works for the HRC now and was particularly delighted to be reminded of this photo.

Now that banner day is back, hopefully this years will look a little like this. I know it's not great, but i don't pretend to be a professional. embiggen!
