Woeful Nats: Jammage

If you've watched a Nationals game, you have most likely heard Bob Carpenter use his famous baseball phrase; JAMMAGE. Jammage occurs when a pitcher throws an inside pitch that ends up "jamming" the hitter, causing them to get horrible contact on the small part of their bad, typically resulting in an easy pop-up.

FP has started to bring it up every time Bob uses Jammage, and the other night during the broadcast he came up with a "Jammage Scale". Because of that, we have created the patented Bob Carpenter Jammage meter.

The device can be used by announcers to determine exactly how much Jammage was involved with a particular at bat. That way, they can more accurately describe the jammage. I mean don't you hate it when a clueless announcer says that it is "severe jammage" when the jammage is in fact "serious". Well this should help him out in the future!

Here are Bob & FP talking about it on the air!
