Ian Malinowski @dogwhelk.bsky.social · 13/05/2025Wee, sleekit, cowerin, tim'rous beastiedraysbay.comDanny Jansen has a framing problemLowering a knee is often the solution, but this time might it be the cause? 010
Ian Malinowski @dogwhelk.bsky.social · 07/05/2025A few years ago I wondered why Drew Rasmussen got so many grounders on his FF. Theorized it was perceptual but didn't have the vocabulary. Think this is part of the answer. Really great article from @dolphhauldhagen.bsky.social blogs.fangraphs.com/andres-munoz...blogs.fangraphs.comAndrés Muñoz Is an Analytical Blind SpotVertical approach angle, the dynamic dead zone, and Andrés Muñoz’s defiance of them both. 010
Ian Malinowski @dogwhelk.bsky.social · 25/04/2025The #Rays sorted by their percentage of swings faster than 75 mph with results on those swings. Curtis Mead is special. 000
Ian Malinowski @dogwhelk.bsky.social · 10/04/2025@tangotiger.com Do you have data on catcher setup position and catch point? Got a theory Jansen is letting balls travel further than usual and giving up low frames because of it. Would love to check my eyes. 000
Ian Malinowski @dogwhelk.bsky.social · 29/01/2025Like everyone else, I also don't know how Kim's shoulder is going to respond to his rehab. Deal shape is interesting. If he comes back great it's a one year deal for $13-$15 million, he opts out, #Rays QO him, he declines, makes a lot of money, and everyone is happy. 120
Ian Malinowski @dogwhelk.bsky.social · 19/12/2024@benjaminsolak.bsky.social I don't think people are talking enough the interesting things Liam Coen is doing, especially but not only out of 2RB sets. Will you please? 020
Ian Malinowski @dogwhelk.bsky.social · 12/12/2024Crazy good article here. I'm not sure we appreciate just how much the pitch movement physics at Tropicana Field might mess with hitters' heads.baseballprospectus.comNew Stadium, New Sluggers: Three Rays Ready to Rake | Baseball ProspectusUsing regression-tree modeling to predict three potential breakout bats after the Rays’ unfortunate stadium switch. 021
Ian Malinowski @dogwhelk.bsky.social · 13/11/2024Is a baseball stadium really a public cultural resource that FEMA will pay to restore? Seems like yes, probably, maybe, somewhat. #Raysupdraysbay.comWould FEMA cover the cost of repairing Tropicana Field?Mayor Ken Welch believes they might. 010
Ian Malinowski @dogwhelk.bsky.social · 15/09/2023Either it's a must-win and Bradish doesn't face Raley again, or it's not and Cano doesn't pitch the 9th down a run in the first game of a 4 game series where one win gives the Orioles the tiebreaker. Hyde should probably pick a lane. 050
