Charlie morton looks like he sold me weed out of his camaro in high school

McCullers’ curve is very different from Morton’s

I wish they’d play street rules and allow corked bats and spit balls.

Dave Cameron

8:53

Corked bats don't work!

They're dumb.

JoeZ

8:54

Is there research on corked bats?

Dave Cameron

8:54

Yeah, Alan Nathan has done some work on it.

8:55

Hmm, PDFs seem to be weird here

Google Alan Nathan corked bats

Jim

8:55

Coach Dave lets Morton pitch to Judge and then lifts him, or has he shown you enough?

Dave Cameron

8:55

I'd probably stick with him until he gets in a jam, but I'd have McCullers ready to go.

JoeZ

8:55

Very cool, also covers humidors and baseballs. If it will post here's the link http://baseball.physics.illinois.edu/AJP-June2011.pdf

Less mass same speed=ball goes less far when struck... its a bad idea

Mark

8:56

Any concern about mccullers on short rest given his health/durability issues?

Dave Cameron

8:56

3 days rest, should be good for a few innings.

No one is asking him to go deep

Jon

8:57

They said McCullers has a really long complicated pre game ritual though

Dave Cameron

8:57

Yeah, but he could have started it a while ago.

Pretty sure he knows he's pitching today.

8:57

EV on that ground out?

Dave Cameron

8:57

111!

Das it

8:58

Is CC allowing an inordinate amount of hard contact this game

Dave Cameron

8:58

4 100+ balls hit so far; 3 off Morton, 1 off Sabathia. So nope.

Mac Gwire

8:58

You obviously have Savant open during the game. Do you do that just to answer questions or do you learn things from it?

Dave Cameron

8:58

Both

8:59

Tough play, but I think Castro should have caught that.

Owen

8:59

error, imo

Dave Cameron

8:59

That would be a tough error.

Jon

8:59

Error to me

Dave Cameron

8:59

Okay, I'm a generous grader I guess.

E-4

Canyonero Driver

Judge would have had to crouch to catch that.

Mark

9:00

base hit

Jaack

9:00

Dave is official scorer confirmed

Eric

9:00

hit LOL

Stephen Loftus

9:00

I would have it as an error, but I'm a tough grader (My students can attest)

jonnyzuck

9:00

play that should be made but not an error

Bruce

9:01

What do you teach, Stephen?
