5/10 Cubs (Zambrano) @ Giants (Cain) 9:15 CSNC TV/XM 189

Stupid question of the day.

 

Why do they notate innings:

 

5.1 Cain

.2 Reliever

 

?

 

5.1+ .2= 5.3

 

shouldn't it be

 

5.3 Cain

.7 Reliver

 

= 6.0 IP

 

?

 

3 outs make an inning. It goes by thirds

 

That's my point. If it goes by thirds it should be 5.3, 5.7, 6.0

[cbbryan]

Hopefully this start helps Z get some confidence and perform alot better from here on out.

[da bears]

What the hell is going on.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Pierre singled to center field

[Fred Hornkohl]

Walker grounded into a DP, 1-4-6-3, Pierre out at second

[JC]

Ok. Early in the game, Brenly and Len were moaning about the only hits being up the middle. Now, after Pierre goes up the middle for a single, Bob says, "Right up the middle. Gotta love that."

 

:scratch:

What the hell is going on.

 

pierre has looked better for a couple days.

[cheapseats]

Walker sucks. Do you think we could trade him for an Oriole?

[ToupeeOnFire]

Pierre singled to center field

And he hit it out of the infield.

 

Don't tell me the Pee-Train is getting ready to leave the station.

5.1 means five innings and one out

5.2 = five ful and two outs

 

there is on 5.3 because that equals 6

[Mark_R]

You know what would complete this night? Z plunking Bonds in the knee.

 

And Z challenging Barry to fight.

[stitchface]

Walker grounded into double play pitcher to second to shortstop to first, Pierre out at second.

 

huh?

[Monco]

I thought Cain was supposed to be a young stud? For those in the know, is he still held in high regard?

I put him right up there with Rich Hill.

Cain is 21 though...Hills 26

[Yeti]

anyone know who this tool announcing for the giants is?

[Banedon]

That's my point. If it goes by thirds it should be 5.3, 5.7, 6.0

 

People don't tend to want to do fractions/decimal conversions when they read the box score. It's just a notation, rather than math.

[sunnydoo]

Mr ARam is no longer hitting his weight. He is regressing to the Mendoza line mean.

[stitchface]

that would be one way to keep him from throwing 140 pitches.

[sunnydoo]

anyone know who this tool announcing for the giants is?

 

Duane Kuiper i think.

[beersoakedivy]

I'm still in shock....8

[Banedon]

Ha. That clown had an obstructed view seat in the press box.

 

LOL! Media relations rookie hazing.

 

haha...

 

wow the mood in this thread has sure picked up

 

I've been pretty slap happy in the game thread for the past few nights...

[Monco]

Mr ARam is no longer hitting his weight. He is regressing to the Mendoza line mean.

 

The Mendoza line is located 8 points above the Neifi line.
