Gameday Pitch ID's - early returns

Taking a look at two pitchers is by no means conclusive, but, so far, the pitch identification in place on Gameday 2008 is off a bit. No surprise, this is new stuff.

Here's a quick example, using Bartolo Colon and Joe Borowski.

Bartolo on the left, Borowski on the right.



Based on spin movement (in inches), it is hard to agree with the "SI" (sinker) applied to one pitch by Colon. The split of Borowski's change is rather suspicious.

I'll keep track of this stuff over time to see how it improves.
