What a horrible turn of events.

That is a great way to define the luck that is the Chicago White Sox.

 

Buerlie has two first and second with no outs and gets out of both jams. Not to mention his error helped six of the seven runs go unearned, so even his stat line looks good.

It's not luck.

If someone scores 7 runs against the Cubs in the first inning, you will see double switch galore Bynum playing his gold glove defense and bringing his clutch bat by the second inning.

I think that if a pitcher commits an error, his runs should still be earned.

LOL

 

a little early on that, brutha.

 

Just because we Cubs can't score runs and couldn't ever dream of coming back from a 7-0 deficit doesn't mean other teams can't.

There was a thread about this not too long ago, it was pretty conclusively shown that those runs should be unearned, but I can't remember exactly why offhand.

Y'know this is one thing I really dislike about baseball. So much subjectivity. Its the only sport (quasi-quoting Moneyball here) where your performance is actually decided by some guy in a booth. (Error or not) Its so stupid. BA is another thing that gets me nuts. RBI's are ridiculous and should almost be ignored completely.

 

So much luck in this game is called skill. Its really quite remarkable.

Earned Run Average is a measurement of how effectively you pitch, not how well you field. That's why runs scored because of the failings of the defense behind you aren't counted as earned; and under this system, it's irrelevant who makes the error, because no matter who is responsible, it has no bearing on the pitching itself.

It's time to be completely fair. Last year's team was pretty lucky, I know Sox fans that have admitted that, but this year's team is amazing. They are the best in the league, and I will actually be surprised if they don't win it all again.
