Around SBN: Bracketology 2012: Duke Finally Steps Up To The No. 1 Line

Brushing Up On Tim Wakefield


Si, the CornKnuckleballer.  The guy we once hoped Charlie Haeger might become.  Anyway, the knuck is pretty much all he's got outside of a fastball that barely touches 75 mph.  See graph:

Break_php_medium

Hooray www.brooksbaseball.net graph!

 

A truly pandirectional pitch.  Any given knuckleball can apparently break however it feels like.  Perhaps in any one plate appearance the pitch tends to do more or less the same thing, but other than that I'm not sure what you should do as a batter.  Guessing obviously doesn't help.  And batters don't chase the knuckler that much anyway  The key to Wakefield's success, then, is getting it in the zone, which I'm guessing is something of a chore.  For his career, he's walked righties and lefties at about the same rate...but for whatever reason gives up far more extra base hits to RHB.  That's right, Wakefield has reverse platoon splits.  Is there nothing normal about the art of knuckling? 

To go for the kill, Ozzie needs to zero in on Wakefield's weakness and get all the right handed power he can find into the lineup.  Wakefield has given up about 5 runs per game over the course of his career and the Sox have some good right handers.  Getting back into the division race requires BHB.  Gavin wouldn't dare let us down.  In fact, it'd be nice to see both the Wonder Twins man up a la '08.

Jesus, have some consideration for the effing reader!

I pulled this out. Surprise – the gov’t overstepped their authority:

Cooper
Order at 4. Relatedly, Judge Cooper determined that the government
failed to comply with the procedures outlined in our
venerable precedent, United States v. Tamura, 694 F.2d 591
(

9th Cir. 1982), which are designed to serve much the same
purpose as the procedures outlined in the warrant. Finally,
Judge Cooper concluded that the government’s actions displayed
a callous disregard for the rights of third parties, viz.,
those players as to whom the government did not already have
probable cause and who could suffer dire personal and professional
consequences from a disclosure.

Ach ja, die arme Cubbies

I wrote off this season after the Baltimore series, I thought they had to sweep that to have a reasonable chance. Can’t say I’m much more enthused about Meechigan’s chances this year either. I haven’t read much preseason stuff, but hard to see them doing much with a true freshman QB . Any hope of a respectable 8-4? Big 10 is horrible, it shouldn’t be too far-fetched – is it?

It was all so near, yet so very far this year

So many times it felt like the division was right there for the taking, if they could just reach out a little and grab it. Then they lose 2 out of 3 to Cleveland at home, then 2 out of 3 to Baltimore at home, etc etc

I hate the knuckleball

Any pitch that you or I have a remote chance of thowing with some success is merely a trick pitch and needs to be banished like the spitball. The delivery looks ridiculous, the batters flailing at the pitch looks ridiculous and the catcher trying to catch it looks ridiculous. Banish it, banish it I say! (My apologies to Eddie Cicotte, Charlie Hough and Wilbur Wood).

Now let’s sit back, relax and strap it down…while Wakefield 1-hits the Sox tonight…ugh.

Speaking of Hawk, anyone catch this exchange last night…
