The Anatomy of An Inning: Justin Slaten Has Been One of the Best Relievers in Baseball – Over The Monster

Posted: April 19, 2024 at 2:44 am

Welcome back to another edition of The Anatomy of An Inning. My name is Jacob Roy, and I pretend to know pitching better than the pitchers themselves. If youre new here or need a reminder of what this is all about, I take an inning from the previous week or so and break it down, one pitch at a time. Each pitch should have a purpose, Im looking at each of them individually to try to go beyond the box score and tell the full story.

Lets go to Sunday, April 14th. The Red Sox bullpen is shorthanded, and they need multiple innings from Justin Slaten to get back in the win column. He enters the seventh inning after getting a quick double play to end the sixth.

Although Slaten is in his first Major League season, its actually his second time seeing OHoppe. The first time, he struck him out on three pitches, including two incredibly ugly swings on sweepers in the dirt. OHoppe is a fairly aggressive hitter, but he does struggle with pitches down in the zone, so Id expect more sweepers from Slaten.

Slaten starts with a cutter on the inside edge for called strike one. Against a righty, youd like to see this down and away, but OHoppe is taking all the way, so well take the free strike. 0-1.

Heres the sweeper he was able to fool OHoppe with twice in their last meeting. This one stays up in the zone, and OHoppe, although out in front, is able to poke it to left field for a lead-off base hit.

Adell is another free-swinger with tons of strikeouts in his game. He whiffs on just about everything, but breaking balls give him extra trouble (47.1% whiff rate in 2023).

Sweeper below the zone for a swing and miss. Given the swing, Id keep throwing it until he proves he can lay off.

Beautifully executed. Do it again.

Here, Slaten tries to elevate with the four-seamer, but misses his spot and leaves it below the zone. Its far enough below the zone that theres no harm done. Id go back to the sweeper.

Theres another sweeper, and Adell lays off. At 2-2, this is an interesting spot. Adell may feel that hes earned a fastball after spitting on the pitch in the dirt. That makes this the perfect spot to throw another sweeper low and away.

Alright, this works. After Adell takes two pitches below the zone, Slaten tries to execute what we saw Kutter Crawford do a few weeks ago. Hes expecting Adell to continue to take any pitch down in the zone as he reads sweeper, so he wants to throw his four-seamer down and away for called strike three. He doesnt hit his spot, but the pitch ties up Adell who grounds out to third for the first out.

Neto is another hitter Slaten has faced this season once already. The first at-bat ended in a strikeout, with every pitch coming in below the zone.

First pitch cutter that misses high for ball one.

Yikes, this could have been bad. Neto stays back on the sweeper that stays inside and pulls it down the line. Fortunately, it goes foul to even the count.

Much better. Slaten goes back to the sweeper, getting it to the glove side, and Neto is out in front this time as he pops it up weakly for the second out, keeping the runner at second base.

Nothing to see here, just know that Slaten once again missed with his fastball and hit Rendon in the shoulder. Still two outs, just get the next guy.

Again, Slaten has seen Rengifo once this season, also striking him out with exclusively off-speed pitches. With the way the defense has played in recent days, a strikeout would be great to end the inning, but any out works.

Heres a 0-0 cutter that misses outside for ball one.

Beautiful back-foot sweeper for strike one. Rengifo is well out in front, tipping his hand hes looking for a fastball. As such, Id do what Slaten did in their last meeting and stick with the breaking balls.

Heres another sweeper that Rengifo fouls off for strike two. Rengifo is more prepared for this one, fouling it straight back. With two strikes, Id go away from the sweeper after Rengifo appeared prepared for it, and instead throw either a cutter up and in, or a high fastball.

Slaten goes back to the sweeper and Rengifo isnt interested. Now, Slaten finds himself in the same position he was in with Jo Adell. Given that Rengifo is a decent fastball hitter and seemed to be looking for a fastball earlier in the count, I wouldnt throw the low fastball looking for a called strike. If Slaten throws something in the top half of the zone, Rengifo will likely read fastball. For that reason, I like the cutter up and inside to jam him and get out of the inning.

Heres the first curveball of the outing, but it only goes about 59 feet and its not enticing to the hitter. With the count full, and Mike Trout on deck, Slaten should throw whatever he feels comfortable throwing for a competitive strike. He hasnt commanded his fastball well this inning; Id expect a sweeper.

And there it is. Its not the best sweeper hes thrown, but it catches the zone in a tough spot and all Rengifo can do is roll over it for the ground ball.

Justin Slaten has been a key piece of the Red Sox bullpen thus far. In this outing, he didnt have great command of his fastball. Fortunately, the sweeper is his best pitch, returning a 40% whiff rate so far this season. As long as hes keeping the sweeper down, he should continue to get whiffs, strike hitters out, and provide lockdown innings in relief.

Shonda Rhimes Says She Hired Security After ‘Passionate’ ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Fans ‘Got Mean’ Over Season Finales – PEOPLE

Posted: April 19, 2024 at 2:44 am

Shonda Rhimes is opening up about why she has taken a step back from social media amid the unprecedented success of Grey's Anatomy.

With the hit ABC medical drama in its historic 20th season, the Emmy-nominated show creator, 54, told The Sunday Times that she has seen a shift in the fanbase since the series began in 2005.

Social media changed, she shared. Fans have passionate feelings, and I was always fine with that. I understand that the characters felt like their friends. They were my imaginary friends too. Thats why I was writing them. And I think people just had very strong feelings about what happened with their friends.

She then took a pause, adding, But then it became weird.

The mother of three revealed that she requested a police car to be parked outside her house for a week following Greys Anatomy season finales due to death threats from angry fans.

They got mean, she said of her decision. And you never knew who was going to really take offense in the wrong way.

In fact, she took additional measures including hiring private 24-hour security at her Los Angeles home because people are dangerous and strange.

However, the showrunner who is a mom to Harper, 21, Emerson Pearl, 11, and Beckett, 10 also discussed the mental toll of fearing for her personal safety.

I wanted to just be able to walk out my front door and hang out with my kids and not be worried. I would lay awake at night with stress, she explained.

She admitted the experience affected a lot of things, adding, I had some very helpful friends whod had similar experiences, who were able to give me a lot of perspective, and who were adamant that if you cant live normally then youre not going to be able to live.

She has since moved out of Los Angeles to a state she wont name.

Earlier this month, Rhimes celebrated Grey's Anatomy being renewed for season 21, extending its record as the longest-running primetime medical drama and the networks longest-running primetime scripted series.

This picture was taken in 2015, she shared of a throwback photo of the cast during the celebration for their 250th episode. To still be on your screens, in your living rooms, and in your hearts almost ten years later - words cannot express my gratitude.

Greys was something I made up 20+ years ago, and I am so incredibly proud that its been picked up for its 21st season, she continued. This honestly could not be possible without you guys..caring about the stories I tell, the talented cast, writers, and crew. Wow.

Anatomy of a grain storage expansion project – Farm Progress

Posted: April 19, 2024 at 2:44 am

Tom Nugent, Elnora, Ind., made do with a grain center erected roughly 30 years ago for a long time. When it was clear his son Thomas would be farming for the long haul, Nugent decided to invest in a serious grain center expansion.

In his late 60s, Nugent pulled the trigger very late in 2022, committing to invest in an expansion project with a price tag north of $1 million.

I had two main goals: adding bushels of storage capacity and adding a larger pit so we could unload and get back to the field faster, he says.

Nugent accomplished both goals. The new grain bin holds 145,000 bushels, plus the new wet holding hopper tank holds 10,000 bushels. They can dump a full semiload of corn or soybeans into the pit in a matter of minutes and be off to the field again.

The large pit probably looks like a Cadillac-type system, but I wanted to be sure we could unload quickly so we could keep the combine moving in the field, and not have it waiting on trucks, Nugent explains. With 1-foot-thick walls, it took a lot of concrete, but I am confident that it was done right and will last over the long haul.

Nugent doesnt hesitate when asked if hes glad he pulled the trigger and enlarged the grain system. Yes, I am very glad I did, he responds. I should have done it at least five years sooner, and it would have been cheaper. But material prices arent going down, and it would have been more expensive if I waited another five years.

Related:What will a new grain bin cost?

Because the new 145,000-bushel bin wasnt finished until the 2023 season was almost over, the Nugents didnt get a true test of how it would perform during harvest. However, they did fill the bin with dry corn later, and it passed its inaugural test.

This fall, grain coming out of the field that needs drying will dump into the new pit, travel up the new leg into the wet holding bin, and then enter the dryer. The grain from my dryer unloads into the older leg, Nugent says. From there, it is spouted to the GSI VersaLoop conveyor that takes it to the top of the new bin.

Nugent notes that the VersaLoop is rated at only 4,000 bushels per hour, and that is the rated unload speed of the dryer, too.

We have an ammeter on it so we can make sure we dont overload it if we use it to transfer corn from another bin, he says. I dont anticipate running many bushels through the loop, only during drying season.

One factor in Nugents planning was that they typically dry far fewer bushels today than in the past.

Looking at the big picture, thanks to tiling we have done here that helps us plant earlier, which in turn leads to dryer corn in the field in the fall, it shortens the drying season, Nugent explains. Or it allows us to plant slightly longer-season varieties with higher yield potential.

Drying fewer bushels per season allowed Nugent to extend the life of their current dryer.

We will need to upgrade it at some point, but not now, he says. Our priorities were storage capacity and faster unloading from the field.

Here are key points about Nugents grain center expansion project:

More storage capacity. They added a 145,000-bushel bin that is 60 feet in diameter and 15 rings tall, plus a 10,000-bushel wet holding tank that is 18 feet in diameter and 16 rings tall.

Large pit. The new pit is 30 feet long, 10 feet wide and 12 feet deep, with two U-trough 16-inch augers. It holds about 1,300 bushels, which is more than a semiload.

Overhead doors. The main part of the L-shaped building over the unloading pit is 34 by 20 feet, with doors on automatic openers on each end. If we had built the building 4 feet longer, the door tracks would not be offset, but it is not a big deal, Nugent says.

Lighting for unloading. Lights inside the pit help reduce shadows that would occur when unloading semis at night. There are also pairs of LED lights on each side of the pit partway up the shed walls, but below the height of the overhead doors when open.

Bucket elevator and tower. Partly due to where bins were located and partly for more strength, Nugent opted for a tower to support the bucket elevator instead of a traditional guy-wire arrangement. The tower is 12 by 12 feet and 121 feet tall. The bucket elevator extends below ground level to the bottom of the pit, reducing degree of incline needed on augers. Nugent believes that will extend wear life.

Grain monitoring and aeration. Nugent opted to install the GSI GrainVue automatic grain aeration controller. Linked to weather instruments at the bin site, it aerates grain when necessary. Seven temperature cables inside the new bin report temperature at 4-foot intervals within the grain mass. Moisture cables are also an option.

Cost for this system was about 1% of total cost of the project. There is also a $200-per-year subscription fee so data reaches the cloud. Data and graphs can be viewed on devices, including iPhones, from anywhere.

The controller is a no-brainer, Nugent says. You can program a preferred moisture range for it to operate, and one can re-wet grain and gain bushels. It is more economical for larger bins, and occasionally you may have to replace a cable. But it also offers peace of mind.
