Only one MLB catcher made more than 7 errors this year. (Can anyone name him?)
So it doesn't seem incredibly impressive.
Thole?
As it happens, I was actually looking at the AL only table; there were actually 3 catchers with 10+ errors. Thole was not one, though.
Ibanez looked safe, I thought. Replay... nope, out by a fraction.
And...oh dear, A-Rod...oh dear.
EDIT: Coke to Jick.
Lady Luck wouldn't piss on Alex Rodriguez if he were on fire.
Sigh.
I wonder if I am behind you guys a tick watching here in China
And I'd be encouraged, if I were a yankee fan. That was a well hit ball.
Time for the mute button again ...
Fister had 24 pitches in first....if he needs to be pulled early who is Detroits first middle inning reliever choice usually ?
Is Porcello on the roster?
Why the hell would you use Sutcliffe by choice?
"But this time they are loaded for the right guy"
Burn !!!
Jhonny Peralta appears to disagree with me on this. That was pretty sweet.
###################.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
Of course, the Jeter hit and Ichiro hit to load the bases were not exactly hard hit balls.
Are they using different data? If pitch 1 was down the middle, I'm guessing Fister missing location and Avila moving so much to catch it is why it was called a ball (and maybe that threw off my perception too). I'd like to see a replay of the actual pitch, because if Gameday and TBS are accurate this zone is unacceptable.
No more bad calls will go against my team this year.
I dare say Fister won't get out of loaded bases without a run a third time.
I can't even tell if he's serious when he says that, it's so absurdly stupid.
Especially considering how many hits the shift has taken away from Tex.
J-honny iron in his pants Peralta
The middle infielders wouldn't have been wearing gloves. I think the ball still gets through.
Of course, Fister would have been pitching underhanded, and from 45 feet away...
Edit: Followed by pasta standing Jeter.
bWAR has him as league avg defender and league avg hitter over the last 4 season.
UZR had him a big positive this year, which seems like an outlier, except over the last 4 years combined he ranks 5th in UZR/150
Seriously, "great" post-season.
Again.
I can't remember, what happened to noted Cubs ace Henry Rowengartner?
fwiw, BP's FRAA has him -6 this year, but almost exactly avg over the last 4 combined.
Maybe he has learned improved positioning making up for lack of range or something. Anyway...seems league average to me, and clearly still capable of making some athletic plays.
I don't really know what the numbers are but:
Peralta is a slow baserunner;
Cleveland moved him to 3B when his range deteriorated seriously;
He got in really good shape at the beginning of 2011 (although he has never really had a SS type shape in any event)
He hit like crazy last year and suddenly everybody marvelled at how his defense had recovered as well;
He hit poorly this year and everybody grumbles he can't get to anything.
He is what he has always been; a sure handed, average to less than average range shortstop with some pop and strike zone issues that expose him to prolonged slumps. In today's game he is a $6M player which is what he is getting.
I wish with their staff that they had a ground ball vacuum cleaner on-base machine, who cares about his power. But there aren't a lot of those around.
Carl Ripken is stunned.
Thats kind of what I'm getting at. Somehow peralta ia a league avg defender with a little bit of pop and a properly valued contract. To me thats a plus, and when your team has splurged big in other areas, you need guys that just aren't a major mistake to fill the other spots.
I think we each need to report them to the FCC for being grotesquely offensive.
