There is Some Joy in Mudville

Thu, 29 Oct 2009 07:50:54 -0500

A few years ago, I got to write a magazine article about the clubhouse assistant whose job it was to rub the baseballs down with mud for the Detroit Tigers. Some people don't know that mud is used to take some of the sheen off the baseballs and make them easier to grip. This used to be the umpires' job, but they hated doing it, so teams began having their own guys get their hands (and the baseballs) dirty. It's not just any old mud that's used to rub down the ...

Pitch f/x is encouraged by Bonderman

Jeremy Bonderman has had a very long road back from the surgery he underwent to correct thoracic compression outlet syndrome. There was hope he’d be back in the rotation this year, but his spring became very extended and he didn’t make his first appearance until June 8th – and he was crushed. It was back [...]

Do Jeremy Bonderman's pitches fool umpires?

Teammates Fail Bonderman Yet Again

Wed, 18 Apr 2007 20:09:30 -0500

For the 4th time this season the Tiger's gave Jeremy Bonderman limited run support and bullpen support. Through 4 games the Tigers have failed to score more than 3 runs in any of his starts and of course neither has Bonderman. So right now Bonderman's sitting with a 2.25 ERA, 4 Quality Starts, a WHIP of .857, and no friggin Ws. Meanwhile, Chase Friggin Wright picked up a win last night. Immensely annoying for anyone that owns Bonderman in Fantasy, aka me.
