Sure, you have to have contact with the slab when you are pitching....

yes, that is true
but if you break contact with the bases empty, no harm no foul
by Shanghai Badger on Jul 3, 2008 7:35 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
But if you break contact when you are delivering the ball.....
what he is doing is pitching from a foot in front of the rubber.
by crazymountain on Jul 3, 2008 7:38 PM CDT up reply actions 0 recs
it is the way he leverages his body.
the Cubs should give the film to the umps. it is hard to see it real time, but anyone would throw harder if they can pick up their back leg before they release the ball!

Rule 8.01(b)
“Comment: With no runners on base, the pitcher is not required to come to a complete stop when using the Set Position. If, however, in the umpire’s judgment, a pitcher delivers the ball in a deliberate effort to catch the batter off guard, this delivery shall be deemed a quick pitch, for which the penalty is a ball. See Rule 8.05(e) Comment.”

The game had to be a day game, per the CBA,
because the Cubs are going east by 2 TZs. 5 pm local time is the day/night cut-off. So, the game had to start before 5 pm PDT, but the Giants didn’t want a “true” day game at 1 pm PDT.

SF - Cubs Games
Hi—just got back and (for what it’s worth) wanted to give a brief report on the 3 SF nite games I went to. A lot of Cubs fans on BART, at the ballpark, everywhere. Sat in their “view level” behind home. Good natured Giant fans overall and most didnt really seem all that upset when we took over the park at times. A wave try by SF fans last nite was disappointing, but oh well. Lots of expensive beer, garlic fries, etc.
Funny Santo story. KNBR is the Giants flagship station and sports talk radio. Before today’s game, they had a “Sound Like Santo” contest. Included some of Ronnie’s classic “oooooh no”, “gee whiz”, etc. It was poking fun, but not mean spirited and kinda fun. Many Cub fans competed but first place went to a 9-year old girl.
Three out of four would be nice.

If a player is announced as a pinch hitter but is pulled before he bats, does that count as an “appearence” in a game?

Ignore my snark.
The official rule:
“A consecutive game playing streak shall be extended if the player plays one half inning on defense, or if he completes a time at bat by reaching base or being put out. A pinch running appearance only shall not extend the streak. If a player is ejected from a game by an umpire before he can comply with the requirements of this rule, his streak shall continue.”

JMO
There are reports that scouts are saying he’s lost something due to overuse. I read the same thing last October. Once a reliever’s arm is “dead”, it’s tough to recharge him during the season.
I’m wondering if being shut down entirely for 2-3 weeks might help him.

BB said it could be him tipping pitches...no way.
He is falling behind and becoming predictable. AND his fastball is no longer lively as he is over-throwing. His fastball flattens out. Same thing happens to Z when he over throws. Marmol is anxious and over-throwing because he can’t find the strike zone. With some intelligent help, he can work through this.
Our problem is we have a pitching coach who can not fix him!
THIS IS OUR CENTURY!!

The human body is not designed to...
...consistently repeating a movement or set of motions. Players get hot and players get cold. It doesn’t always mean something – it could just be a stretch where a player’s “stuff” is off, or it could just be luck. There may be nothing to fix. He’s not a pitching machine.

Nah
he’s wild. He’s hitting people and missing the plate then overcompensating by throwing fat over the middle. It’s not a tell, any pitcher pitching that way would be in trouble.

This is what we were talking about in the thread
this afternoon. He misses with two sliders so they know that the fastball is coming and then he gets it up and they blow it out of the park.

Supposedly it is a 2 step process they are going through. I guess they fixed the mechanics, now they are going after the location. Up and over the middle I am guessing is not where they planned.

It is pretty simple
