Although Thompson could have kept the walks down last time out, you can't improve on the result. I'd like to see him set up his changeup with that wicked fastball. Both of those pitches impressed me a lot last time, and it seemed like he got in trouble when he hung breaking pitches up there.
Go Reds.

Joey Votto 1B
Norris Hopper LF

Meanwhile, in Yankee Stadium, Chad Moeller is pinch-hitting for Alex Rodriguez…
And almost hit a home run. In any other stadium, it would have been gone. In Yankee Stadium, it was at the wall in Death Valley.

Hal McCoy was musing on his blog about a nickname for Daryl Thompson
He came up with “D-Train,” as an homage his adventures with the New York Subway. I like the reasoning behind it, but isn’t Dontrelle Willis “D-Train?” There can be only one. The only one that I’ve thought of that I’ve liked is “Delirium Tremendous.”

how about "Donut Daryl"?
every time he goes to the mound we can all say “time to make the donuts”.

When they send CC out, it’s “Time to eat the donuts.”

I was at Donut Daryl's debut
he reminded me of Steve Trachsel on the mound. I’m not sure why, and I am sure that I’m nowhere near qualified enough to make a “reminds me of” statement. But he works slow, uses a lot of different pitches, has a good fastball, and walked a bunch. Sounds like Trachsel to me.
By the way, are we still doing “Music from the town of the road trip”? There’s some fun ones for Cleveland…
Good stuff for angry middle schoolers (at least when I was in middle school. And angry).
I also dug this back when it came out…I had no idea until now that htey had other songs.
see you at the crossroads, thug.
and last but not least, everyone’s sister’s favorite artist.

Well I sure hope
That they don’t trade for him. Honestly, I don’t understand the huge worry surrounding either Arroyo or Harang, and expect them to both bounce back. Arroyo has been very unlucky so far this year, and Harang was doing pretty damn well until the Game-That-Must-Not-Be-Named and just getting unlucky with run support. After the ASB, when he can get some rest, he should be back to his old self.

I saw that tonight instead of sitting through the last few innings of this clusterfuck.
All in all, a completely awesome fucking movie. This line sums it up best:
It has that Damn It Feels Good to Be a Gangsta anti-cubicle fuck you vibe of Office Space, the struggle for individuality spirit and light-hearted brutality of Fight Club, and a brand of action-movie Waschowskism that hasn’t felt this fresh since The Matrix
I definitely found myself comparing different parts to all three of those movies. It has lots of pretty good one-liners, Morgan Freeman is a fucking badass, as well as Angelina Jolie’s full backside. (I’m not sure what the opposite of full-frontal is, but this had it.) Nothing to complain about here, except if you’re into physics… you might want to be careful.

Thompson will get roughed up as teams adapt to him
Very good fastball but his other stuff is lacking. The Indians are doing the same stupid things the Yankees did as in beating the ball into the ground. Force him to use his pitches.
I was impressed by Bailey tonight though the boxscore didn’t look good. The power stuff was back. Very 2006ish on his mechanics. His fastball really does explode out of his hand when he releases it and it quickly runs into the strikezone. He just needs to shake off the rust and get his location down to the knees. He is much easier to read when he is throwing high in the zone. Good example of why he has give up 18 hits since his return to AAA.
Looks like it wasn’t a arm injury why he was struggling after all, but overcoaching. Possibly they wanted him to hold runners better. But the change that began last year seemed to hurt his balance and velocity.
I figure he will need a good 6-8 weeks to get back into form with his natural mechanical set. Then we shall findout how far along he really is. My guess he will be able to dominate AAA hitters but struggle in the majors still a bit as he needs to locate his offspeed stuff better. But that is a typical problem for a young pitcher and will improve with time.

Chris talking about SABR
and immediately goes to the statistics discussion. It should be said that SABR is much less about the stats than the perception. Most of the people in SABR are more interested in the history of baseball than statistical analysis. Sure the is some stat stuff, but most of the research that happens is by historian types – people scouring newspapers and such – than by statheads.

I have not been able to watch either time Thompson has pitched...
but according to Gameday he has great velocity…93-96 mph fastball and 83 mph change..but lots of foul balls and deep counts? Is there no movement?
by CrimsonKing on Jun 27, 2008 9:35 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
He's kinda all over the place
it seems like a lot of the foul balls are on pitches on the edge of the zone that hitters are just getting their bats on.
