Daily Tracker, 8/22

Baseball on Wednesday:

• Ryan Braun Update:
  
  • Tonight in the box score: 0-4, 3 K
  • Cooling down? He's 3 for his last 28 and 0 for last 13 - just set a career high for consecutive hitless games with 3 (that's kind of neat, actually).
  • Current line on season: .332/.378/.643 (349 PA)
  • Line adjusted for leaderboards: .291/.335/.563 (394 PA)
  • Leaderboard ranks: 25 (-3)/53 (-1)/ 8 (--)
    
    
• Johnny Estrada Swing Index: I hope the new format looks nice.
  
  
  • Plate Appearances: 387
  • Times Swung at First Pitch: 197
    
    • Swung at First Pitch Percentage: 50.9%
      
  • Times Made Contact with First Pitch: 173
  • Contact Percentage for First Pitch Swings: 44.7%

  • Double Play Opportunities: 70
  • Double Plays Resulting: 14
  • DP Rate: 20.0%
    
    
• Ryan Langerhans cleared waivers and was sent outright to AAA Columbus. Incidentally, Matt Chico started for the Clippers today, making my comment about him threatening an IP/GS in the previous entry look kind of dumb. Oops.
  
  
• Joe Borchard went 3-4 with a HR (5), a BB, 2 RBI and a SF for Albuquerque in the team's 20-12 loss to Memphis. The teams combined scored almost as many as the Rangers in the first game of that team's doubleheader!
  
  
  • MLB numbers: 56 TB, 60 SO, 179 AB
  • AAA numbers: 31 TB, 6 SO, 34 AB
  • Total numbers: 87 TB, 66 SO, 213 AB
    
    
• Jimmy Rollins was 1-3 with a double tonight. He's now on pace for a 205 H, 706 AB season.
  
  
• Cubs catchers: The numbers have been changed slightly to reflect only stats as a catcher (i.e., pinch-hit numbers and Koyie Hill's time in right field are removed) and to correct an error in through June 19 stats (5 PA, 5 AB, 2 H, 1 K, 2 TB were missing somehow but now everything squares with Baseball Reference). My apologies for not catching all that until now.
  
  
• Tonight in the box score: 1-4
  
• Through June 19: 290 PA, 264 AB, 62 H, 8 HR, 30 RBI, 20 BB, 46 K, 96 TB, .235/.287/.371, .658 OPS
• Since June 19: 221 PA, 191 AB, 39 H, 3 HR, 29 RBI, 23 BB, 37 K, 59 TB, .204/.295/.309, .604 OPS
• Season Line: 511 PA, 455 AB, 101 H, 11 HR, 59 RBI, 43 BB, 83 K, 157 TB, .222/.291/.345, .636 OPS
• 2007 MLB Average Catcher's Line: .253/.314/.389, .703 OPS
  
  
• Finally, just when you thought it couldn't get any worse in Houston, something like this happens. Hey, isn't there a Bud Light Real American Heroes commercial about that?
