Thoughts from today's game

[Schwarber Fan]

I just wanted a place to add all my thoughts after watching today's game

 

1. Are we sure this wasn't a replay of yesterday?

2. Jeremy Hermida is closing in on Ryan Braun territory. Thanks for hitting all those HRs when you were my NSBB Wildcard pick in the HRD. :roll:

3. Sean Marshall once again showed why he should be the #5 starter today. [expletive] Lou, learn!

4. How does Sinatro/Lou getting tossed not fire up the Cubs and lead them to victory? Thye never even really came close.

5. It was obvious that Cantu was gonna burn the Cubs again.

6. Another quality start wasted! That's several in a row.

7. I'm beginning to trust Marmol again (hey, a positive!)

8. Once again, if the Lou/Sinatro ejections didn't fire this team up, I don't know what will; this is a pathetic team to watch right now.

Thank god this didn't clutter up the game thread

wasnt a quality start

wasnt a quality start

 

By my standards, 5 innings of 2 hit, 10 K pitching is a quality start, you'd be stupid to think otherwise, official rulings aside.

i don't think that a guy who enters a ballgame 4-1 ballgame with the bases empty, 2 outs in the 9th inning and gets one out has really saved much of anything. are we going to stop referring to that as a save as well? likewise, let's stop saying that a pitcher on the wrong end of a 1-0 game got the loss. the offense got the loss; that pitcher was a winner all the way.

it sucked, but hey, the only thing cooler than being division leaders is being division co-leaders. yay division co-leaders.

 

I cant wait until game 7 of the Brewers/Rays World Series finishes somewhere between TNA Impact and a What's Happenin Now marathon in the ratings.

Since you brought it up.....

 

That isn't a save situation.

Hrm. I wasn't aware.

 

For anyone that cares (wiki):

 

That rule states the official scorer shall credit a pitcher with a save when such pitcher meets all four of the following conditions[1]:

 

1. He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his team

2. He is not the winning pitcher

3. He is credited with at least ⅓ of an inning pitched

4. He satisfies one of the following conditions:

1. He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning

2. He enters the game, regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, at bat or on deck

3. He pitches for at least three innings

OK by me. Saves and wins are dumb stats.
