📝READ📝
Vitamin SEA: Heartbreak
For the 48th time in Mariners history, it’s another round of “maybe next year”. This was the worst one yet.
My writer and resident Mariners superfan Henry Neiman wrote about the Mariners’ heartbreaking loss in the ALCS. This is a must read.
Finding other “October Kikés”
At this point, why is anyone surprised when Kiké Hernandez performs like a superstar during the postseason. Nicknamed “October Kiké” by Dodgers fans for his heroics, Hernandez has once again stepped up and has been hitting at an All-Star level when the Dodgers have needed him most.
My producer, David Korn, wrote about Kiké Hernandez having another incredible postseason.
STAT OF THE WEEK - Pop Time (POP)
On steal or pickoff attempts by a catcher, Pop Time represents the time elapsed from the moment the pitch hits the catcher’s mitt to the moment the intended fielder is projected to receive his throw at the center of the base. (via MLB)
When a throw’s flight path ends in front of or beyond the base’s midpoint, Statcast accounts for the thrown ball’s speed and projects how long the throw would have taken to reach the center of the intended base.
Pop Time is a combination of a catcher’s footwork (getting into throwing position), Exchange (glove to release), and Arm Strength (velocity of throw).
