Fehmel did a nice job tonight against a good hitting team. Kudos to him.

We could say vintage Fehmel. Outstanding Job with only one damaging Hanging High Pitch.

Good job for Bryce to go deep in the game. But i was holding my breath each inning after the first time through the order. I think yeskie and him were in a very good groove. Bryce was just getting the sign and was ready to pitch.

I was impressed when he went through a short stretch where he was leaving the ball up and then righted himself.

It will look even better if Luke can get it done tonight.

The weird part was that both teams were producing a lot high pop up outs! Go Beavs!

Fehmel was great against a very good hitting squad.
I actually think that (AZ hitting prowess) worked in his favor, as it seemed the batters were thinking "I can hit THIS guy"....but as we know, when he is in that special Fehmel groove it's all about deception and keeping the hitters off-balance.
Also, Zak Taylor owes Pearce a hamburger....if Zak catches the pop-up, Pearce's line would be clean.

Bryce is our righty version. He had better movement as the night went on and for the most part was down in the zone. Luke needs to get back to being Luke... a bit more touch, a bit less over throwing. Zona will hit Luke's hard stuff if left "3,4,5", but if he can "Greg Maddux" them throwing X's 1,2 then 6,7... up/down... in/out... moving eye levels he'll dominate. Zona very much has the look of a "slugger mentality" and they'll be pressing losing last night and facing undefeated Luke. Add consistently getting his off speed to his spots he'll be Luke of old. He'll be even more effective as his velo variance is greater than Bryce. And, as good as Zona's hitting prowess appears on paper they are razor thin on the bench. They really have no other options in a close game of matchup. |

It seems like the team that can put the ball in play on the ground has the advantage. Of course, issuing 9 walks to the Beavs is ill advised. |

So you are saying a ball travelling through more humidity and closer to sea level will travel further? |

So you are saying a ball travelling through more humidity and closer to sea level will travel further? That ballpark wasn't built with the dimensions it has because the ball won't carry farther at high altitude. Thin air makes the ball travel farther regardless of humidity because there's less air resistance. Now the wind blowing in last night, I would have thrown the ball up and taken fly balls all night just like Fehmel did because most of them were not going to go out of the ballpark. Giving up a couple of one run home runs is more than worth getting all the rest of those balls to drop down into the glove of an outfielder. |

OK, but wind wasn't mentioned in the post I quoted. Only dry air and elevation.
