Add a 40-14 (4th, 13:00) whooping of the Irish to the mix for U of M alum Rich Hill!!!

[Fred Hornkohl]

Has a Cubs starter even pitched in the 9th at all and got pulled or is this uncharted territory?

 

I show the max IP for a starter this year (before today, of course) is 8.0 IP. Could be that someone pitched into the 9th but didn't get anybody out... I just don't remember.

[CoolHandLuke]

Hill's game score for today (92) ties for the 2006 NL high.

[Soriano12]

What a game for Hill.

 

2 FA starters and the 07 rotation might actually be a strenght next year.

[Outshined_One]

Hill's game score for today (92) ties for the 2006 NL high.

 

Sweet!

[Soriano12]

Hill's game score for today (92) ties for the 2006 NL high.

 

pardon my ignorance...how is game score computed?

[Geech]

What was the weather like at Wrigley? Wind direction?

[Geech]

pardon my ignorance...how is game score computed?

 

Game score is a metric devised by Bill James to show how dominating a pitcher was in any particular game. To determine a starting pitcher's game score: (1) Start with 50 points. (2) Add 1 point for each out recorded, so 3 points for every complete inning pitched. (3) Add 2 points for each inning completed after the 4th. (4) Add 1 point for each strikeout. (5) Subtract 2 points for each hit allowed. (6) Subtract 4 points for each earned run allowed. (7) Subtract 2 points for each unearned run allowed. (8) Subtract 1 point for each walk.

 

The top game score in the history of baseball was Kerry Wood's one-hit, no walk, 20 strikeout performance against the Astros on May 6, 1998. His game score was 105.
