I don't need statistics to prove to me what I know to be an effect on pitcher's after playing for 20 years as an amateur and professional.

 

Joe Morgan everybody.

 

I'll tell you what. Pick any four pitchers who pitched in the majors for 5 or more years. I look up the game logs for the runs/game and errors/game and compare them to the data for the days when the pitcher didn't pitch. I'll run some simple descriptive and inferential statistics and see if there is a corelation between runs/scored and errors/game.

 

If I find that there are no data that support your conclusion you ban yourself from every posting on here. If there is a corelation I will seek your forgivness and never darken the door of NSBB again.

 

Deal?

 

Fortunately for him, even if there is correlation he's not wrong. What you would be doing wouldn't even be relevant. It wouldn't prove anything .... just that when there are more errors there are more runs scored. He didn't say anything against that.

 

No. He said that a pitcher who pitches slow and throws a lot of ball (i.e., nibbler) a) has fewer runs scored per game for him and b) has more errors (on his team) when he pitches compared to other pitchers on his team.

 

But thanks for irrelevent commentary.

 

Everything allright?

 

:)

Too good to be true. Rich Hill is a not a mental giant out there.

 

yeah, studies have shown that dumb pitchers are more prone to wild pitches.

no, he said that defensive players do "not make as many great plays" when theyre playing behind soft-tossers. errors shouldnt be discussed.

And a walk.

 

How many pitches has Hill thrown?

Ron just said 25 after the walk. Hill's first inning record this year is 45, so we could only be halfway out of this mess.

can we get barrett back?

 

You seriously putting that on Kendall?

 

That wasn't Kendall's fault... But it's really easy to put the blame on him. Once a guy makes one mistake, everything he does seems wrong.
