Nice to see O Cab, one of my favorite SS of the Angels-while he is no Gary DiScarcina, it is always a joy to watch him play. Go Twins!

Why does the MLB.tv have crappy camera angles

And no score/count/outs meter on the side?

This is extremely uncool

someone on the Tigers just lined one over second, and instead of seeing where it went and what happened I was watching Scott Baker looking pissed while he backed up Mauer behind home plate. Apparently it’s “a great addition to Fox and TBS broadcasts” – unfortunately I don’t have either of them, so they’d better sort it out before Thursday

Anyone with MLBTV, I got this from someone in the comments at BTF:

When I tried to start the stream from mlb.com all I got was the multi-camera deal. When I followed the little MLB.TV Live link on http://sports.yahoo.com/mlb I got the tbs stream.

It seemed to have worked for other people.

Besides, you've probably forgotten O-Cabs

It has been very good most of the time this year. I'm still shuddering, though.

I was looking at their fielding percentages at two different sites,

but maybe that doesn’t show the whole picture.

And you know as well as I that Gold Gloves sometimes go to the guy with the higher batting average.

I tend to think that Erick Aybar played so devastatingly SICK defense this year...

Batting average isn’t going to do squat for his “Aybar for GG 2009” campaign.

I love this team.

Some of the plays were brilliant. His numbers are nearly as good as OC's,

so is it awarded on the basis of flash? And yes, I know that the very flashiest ones looked like no one could pull them off at all.

THIS… IS… ANAHEIM!!

by opiejeanne on Oct 6, 2009 5:09 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Fielding percentage is generally agreed to be

a bad indicator. Nevertheless, according to the stats I found, Erick beats him .983 to .964. According to UZR Erick is 5.9 and O-Cab is -16.5. From those stats and just from my memory of their respective defense, I stand by my statement. Erick is better.

If someone scores a run to tie it up, Nick Punto could still theoretically come up in this inning with a man on base and hit a walkoff two-run homer. Both runs will count even though they will only need one of them.

Let’s go over this again. One run scores. The game is tied. A runner gets on base. Punto comes up. Hits homerun with runner on base. Game is now over via walkoff two run home run.

Because atleast 2 batters have to reach base for Punto to come up.

He was the 5th hitter in the inning, thus at minimum two men have to reach base for him to come to bat.
