Got a chance to do it again (strikeouts to hits)

[CubbieBum]

I believe it was in 2003 but one year around then our staff as a whole had more strikeouts than hits allowed and was either one of a few to do so in history or the first to (can't remember which and can't find article about it). Well this year we have 1026 SO's in 1073 innings. Yes that means we are behind but considering Marmol is back, Wood is back, Samardzija is up, and Harden replaced Gallahger (7.52 per 9 to 12.86 improvement) we got an atleast 50/50 shot of doing it this year. Just thought it was worth bringing up.

We've got 1036 Ks now to 1088 hits given up. We need to make up 52 ks in just over a month, I don't think that's likely. That would be like getting 5 no hitters with 10Ks in a row, and our current pace wouldn't make up the other two we'd be short. I'd put our odds closer to 5% than 50.

I guess ESPN had updated yet even though I looked at 3 a.m.

Oh God, now you're saying strikeouts are better than hits? :D

Infinitely better in this case.

I'm confused. You talk about strikeouts to hits, but then all you reference is strikeouts per inning pitched. And how do you come up with a 50/50 chance?

I was thinking the same thing.

 

Do you mean more strikeouts than hits allowed or more strikeouts than innings pitched?

I assumed it was a typo when he typed innings, because the number is wrong.
