That doesn't suck.

other than after winning game one in 2005, i think that this is the highest that number has been since april 2003. pretty cool, though being this high in june didn't work out so well in 2001.

fangraphs added pitch type values to the player pages and leaderboards.

david eckstein is currently the best hitter in the league against curve balls.

RAUL is tops against sliders, 4th against change ups, and 3rd against cutters.
