same here, woke up to a great breakfast, and a Yanx game to follow, what more can anyone ask for....? A great way to start any day, Yanx game for breakfast....? A Yanx Win.......!
Yeah...... BTW- thanks 59 for the Spray Chart URL some time ago. I was just looking at McCann's chart this year, a nice looking chart, seeing Brian hitting pretty much to all fields, less his HR's of course.....a definite change in approach, as everything is no doubt clicking for McCann this year....... http://www.fangraphs.com/spraychart...cht1=hangtime&cht2=battedball&vs1=ALL&vs2=ALL I've yet to figure out, how to post the Chart itself tho'.......
On McCann, I found this article very interesting, on how Brian has corrected his pop up ratio, from 5.0% last year, to a great 0.8%, effing incredible rebound; as the League average is 3.5%....... Tho' I never lost faith in McCann last year, some of us knew Brian was too good with a bat, to not overcome any disparity......... http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/how-brian-mccann-stopped-popping-it-up/
I can't fkng believe it, the Bums as ya' know signed that huge contract with Time Warner Bros. Cable (TWB-C), broadcasting all home and away games....... Yet, get this Rick, the Giants-Bums game is BLACKED OUT TODAY......! Here in So Cal........Yesterdays game in Chavez Ravine, was Blacked Out also, but not Friday's game..... WTF- this new channel from TWB-C, was to resolve any and all blackouts, in So. Cal. I get MLB Xtra Innings, and flipped to the Giants Home Channel, and whooops its also blacking out todays game. I don't get it, you know it will be a Sale Out game, so why black it out..?? theres no revenue to increase, or anything positive to this black out....... The Very Big Class Action Lawsuit The City of Los Angeles and its residents vs The Bums......from what I'm seeing and hearing, DirecTV still are not able to sign a deal to obtain any Bums broadcasts, but some changes are forthcoming, I hear.....but this is a step in the wrong direction........
Aren't the Yanks undefeated when Drew Hits a HR....? Looks like that may just change today......., otherwise they've got 9 runs to tie; 10 to win........
Damn! they did to us today what we did to them yesterday. Oh well.......what goes around comes around I guess. Now we'll just have to sweep the pitiful Phillies.
Thanks for that info: DVR rewind, revealing Tex hitting to the opposite field, making a mockery out of the shift...... Looks for the most part, alot of Teams are beginning to obtain hits/results, when the shift is on.........give MLB players/hitters, a year or 2 more, and the shift just might become a thing of the past......!
Hey Rick, even tho' Tanaka wasn't up to par today, Drew's 2 HR day must of made your day, eh...? NOT.....!!!
