Michael Holloway's Baseball Blogs

Writing around the idea that baseball is a game slightly ahead of its time. A 'simple' game the qualities of which include physical and metaphysical paradoxes: the two dimensional diamond with-in the sphere; the struggle between individuals with-in a complex group dynamic.
Baseball is like a school of the Socratic method: it asks questions - the consideration of which lead to more questions - a process that illuminates a path towards critical thought.

Is the Blue Jays Pitching Good Enough to get them to the Post Season?

Baltimore Orioles (64-48) at Toronto Blue Jays (60-54)
August 6, 2014

Toronto Blue Jays
Pitchers               IP   H   R   ER   BB   SO   HR   PC-ST    ERA
D Hutchison (W, 8-9)   8.2  1   1   1    1    8    1    115-76   4.39
C Janssen              0.1  0   0   0    0    0    0    4-3      2.83

This is what I wrote in real time:

Hutchison: off-speed, slider, and a change wild enough to set up the other 2.
Great game calling; execution.

Kawasaki is the player of the game; for both situational hitting and defense.
