WHAT THE HELL TIME IS THE GAME

Strikeouts are bad from a hitters perspective as far as the fact that all outs are bad. What people are saying is that from a numerical standpoint, striking out doesnt effect your numbers as a hitter any more than any other out. Over the course of 600 at bats, a strikeout is a popout is a groundout. Who is more valuable? The guy who strikes out a lot more than average and hits .260 or the guy who hits .300 and grounds out a lot more than average? Well, if the .260 hitting hacking machine walks a lot and hits for power (when he does make contact) while the .300 hitter doesn't walk (and doesnt strike out) but replaces those k's with groundouts because he's a groundball hitter without a lot of power, chances are, the guy with the strikeouts is worth more to your team. You want your pitchers to strike everyone out because if you strike a guy out, he absolutely cannot hurt you via the walk/hit/homerun whatever. You don't neccessarily care if your batters strikeout because they still have another 600+ at bats over the course of the season to be valuable. It's an issue of looking at each particular at-bat or looking at the big picture.

6/15 Astros [Nieve] @ Cubs [Z] 1:20 pm CT on CSN
imb replied to Big Fergie J's topic in Fred Hornkohl Game Thread Forum
yeah, it's a nice pharaoh look -
you're right on that, this thread certainly is mind-boggling.
-
definitely laroche, will guzman be there too you think? with kent coming off the dl, does he get sent back down?
-
Go through the "final team rosters" thread, select your three keepers and post them here.
-
Yeah, let's work on geting ahold of all the owners over the next few days, and we'll select our keepers.

Wow, you are absolutely right. That's why I showed you all the stats. Its not too surprising that instead of being magnanimous and simply saying the numbers do show that he has been better for the Cubs than you thought. You actually took the time to go through and name certain outings bad that I didn't. I could list all of his outings and we could quibble about what makes up a bad outing and what doesn't, but I'm not going to do that because I don't have to. You've already proved my point. Even using your spun numbers, my point, that Rusch has been good more often than not while a Cub and a whole lot better than you were making him out to be, is still supported. So, whether you take my numbers or yours, it doesn't matter. The facts and stats still show that he is likely to turn things around and perhaps have some value by the trade deadline. Whether he will or not, who knows? Thats just what the numbers say. Hahah, spun numbers? I went beyond giving him the benefit of the doubt. I counted several 1/3rd 0 run outings as good. The only ones I counted as "bad" outings were ones that he had an era above 4.50. Those are bad outings, you can ignore it if you want, but you are totally, completely wrong, and lying about it doesnt make it not true. It's not too surprising that instead of saying "hey, i made up this stat", you called me a liar and called the facts "spun numbers". Nice try.

Ichiro is hitting .367 and in his last 125 at bats he is hitting .464. Of course, Mauer is hitting .474 in his last 100 or so at bats.

6/11 Cubs[Marmol] @ Reds[Milton] - 12:15 pm CT on WGN

ARE YOU CRAZY THERE ARE LEFTHANDED HITTERS COMING UP -

oh hey its a coirpse pitching. wade miller is dead, who cares.

I found my elusive missing 2004 game, an outing that Rusch gave up 3 runs without recording an out.
-
Just because you say that the 75% is number is accurate doesn't mean that it is. You might as well have said that during 75% of the innings Glendon Rusch throws, he takes a big plate of spaghetti out to the mound. 2004 - 32 appearances, 21 good, 11 bad. Counted into those 21 good appearances were a few outings that went between a third of an inning and less than two innings. Also, I went ahead and counted a 5 inning, three run game as a "good" appearance, since it counts as a QS, even though I think we both agree that there is nothing good about an ERA north of 4. In case you were wondering, that works out to 66% 2005 - 46 appearances, 27 good, 19 bad. In those 27 good outings, there were a total of 10 that lasted less than an inning and two-thirds. Those ten outings lasted a combined 8 1/3rd innings, so a more discerning man could count them as maybe two good outings combined, but I'll give you the (huge) benefit of the doubt and count them as 10. only 59% of those outings were "good". 2006 - 14 outings, 7 good, 7 bad. That works out to a cool 50%. Oh, of the 7 "good" outings, 5 of them didnt go over 2.1 innings. Since signing with the Cubs, Glendon Rusch has had 55 good outings and 37 bad ones. That is 60%, nowhere close to the 75% you tried to pass off as fact. Nice try though.
