MLB Game Day (1 Viewer)

Pretty nifty what they did with Gameday this year. 8 of the ballparks have this capability.

LAD is one of the parks.

For anyone real tech savvy, I'm just wondering if there is a way to extract that data off of the Gameday java applet using code.

Or does anyone know if that can be manipulated to expand the view of the pitch-by-pitch data using something like Greasemonkey?

there is a way....here's a link to the data

http://gd2.mlb.com/components/game/

go to the /mlb subdirectory and drill down from there. Not all of the parks have the radar gun. Miami has the movement, but not the velocity. One of the Rays fans at raysbaseball.com shared that link with me. He was able to put Sonnanstine's first start in an Excel sheet (you can open the .xml from the data site in Excel) that have MPH but when I grabbed the data from Sonnanstine's start this past Sunday, no velocity data was available.

I didnt realize it was only in certain parks...I probably spent 10-15 minutes once trying to figure out how to turn that on.

What do they mean by Release when it lists "Release / Result 88.4 / 83.4 MPH"

Is 88.4 his release angle?

Cool. Which eight?

This blog answers this and other questions:

A: The Pitch-f/x technology is currently up and running in eight ballparks -- Atlanta, Chicago (White Sox), Los Angeles (Angels and Dodgers), San Diego, Seattle, Texas and Toronto -- so this new data is currently only available for games played in those ballparks. However, the system will be operational in all 30 ballparks by the end of the season, so expect to see the Pitch-f/x data for more and more games as the season progresses.

Looks like you can add Oakland and Boston to this list.

edit: for my own tracking, SF added on 7/14?
