    Isn't a hit batsmen an unearned run, just like a walk? I assumed the same applies to someone who is K'd and gets to 1st base on a wild pitch/passed ball. No-unearned runs only come from errors. Runs that come from runners that had Walks, hit batsmen, WP allowing a runner to get on, or hits all would be earned.

    It will be very interesting to see what seed Duke gets now-my guess is that they'll be in the 8/9 game.

    I think he was asking as a more general thing-the only way it matters in this particular outing is that we might have to read about how Wood was still ineffective in ST because of his 6 or 7 ERA when we know better about actually how effective he was-that will be a little annoying, but I think I can manage that if he keeps doing well :D

    Now, I can understand both of the arguments as to why Woody should have been charged either zero or one run, and considering there's an error that wasn't charged, two runs. But all four? Especially when there's only two hits charged to Wood. How can this be? If there is no error, all the runs are always earned. Besides, Wood gave up the other two runners-he hit a batter, and it was his wild pitch that allowed another runner to get on even though he struck him out. All 4 runners were on then because of Wood (without the error), and so all 4 runs are charged to him.

    Poor Woody. I wonder if it would have been scored that way in Mesa? From the description of the play, it would have been the same way-it was a bloop apparently that Izturis couldn't get to. Especially if it didn't hit his glove (which from the story, it doesn't sound like it did) they would usually never call it an error. There goes that Izturis, driving in runs with his glove again. That's all right-he was too busy doing well with the bat like he has so far in ST :D

    NC State gets 4 looks at the basket but cannot connect-NC State and Duke also going to OT.

    The traveling rules need to change if a guy can pick up his dribble like the Louisville player did a couple feet behind the free throw line and carry the ball all the way for a layup.

    Well, remember two things-the pod system makes sure that UCLA will be out West for the first two rounds no matter what region they are in. Second, if UCLA does get a 1, they are the only possible 1 seed that would fit best in the West, so they are not going to send UCLA to be a 1 in the East and then send an Eastern team to the West to play.

    They should still get a #1 in the West. If the committee punishes them for this loss then that tells me these three days mean more than the past four months. The key I think is what happens with the other 1's and 2's. if 1 or 2 of the 2's win the conference tournaments and all of them advance to at least the semis or finals, then I could definitely see UCLA getting pushed to a 2-it's not like they had a much, much better resume than the other teams before this. It was better, but it's able to be made up.
  11. CubColtPacer
    UCLA-Cal going to OT.
  12. CubColtPacer
    In minor conference action, Wyoming upsets Air Force 67-62-that will hurt Air Force's seed in the tournament.

    Everybody who is getting EI, I would be informing their cable companies or Dish-the more likely subscribers they are going to get, the more likely it is that they will carry EI this season.

    Illinois hangs on, setting up IU-Illinois round 3 tomorrow night.
  15. CubColtPacer
    2 point lead now for Illinois-1:35 left, Illinois ball.

    Hmm-well, that does make things a little easier for Wuertz. Now the only hurdle that Cotts has over him is that he can spot start, which nobody else in the bullpen will be able to do and Lou seems to like possibly having that option in case a starter gets hurt for a short period of time.
  17. CubColtPacer
    I don't know if there is room. Lou likes him. I don't think there's going to be room for Wuertz. That would be a catastrophic mistake. Agreed. I can see it happening but I would not like it. I don't see it as a huge deal-even if it happens, if one of the relievers starts struggling Lou will ask for Wuertz very, very quickly-he's not going to languish in the minors while people in the majors struggle for long periods this year. I just think he's definitely proved himself the past couple years. Oh, I do too-he's good enough to be on the major league ballclub, that's for sure. I just don't think it's going to be a very big difference to the Cubs ballclub if somebody like Cherry makes the team and then Wuertz gets recalled for him if he starts struggling.

I don't have any emotional attachment to anyone in the pen (except Kerry). I just want people who will get outs... I know Wuertz has been good but he'll have to prove himself with a new manager; he's not the type of player with a guaranteed spot. Speaking of which, I read yesterday that Ohman's spot may be up for grabs. Can you justify how someone like Cotts has a guaranteed spot, but Wuertz doesn't? Not me. If it were me, Cotts would go to AAA. He hasn't proven a thing in ST. Except that he is still no good. Does Cotts have an option left?

    This must be from before I joined the board, but who is Ronnie Woo Woo? :shock: :shock: :shock: Are you serious? Ronny "Woo Woo" Wickers is an old guy who has been making a nuisance of himself, for years, at Cubs game. He woooooooos throughout the game. Yeah, I didn't know who he was until a few months ago either-I had heard his name a few times, but had no idea who he was at all.

    You can't look at RA or ERA. Miller gave up 8 baserunners in 3 innings. I don't care if he only gave up a run. His performance was "Prioresque." I wouldn't call it "Prioresque" but I did say earlier that Miller had a subpar performance helped out by a great defense. My point about Wood also was that he might have a much higher ERA than what he truly deserves from how well he pitched, and that to remember this game of why his ERA was artificially higher than it should be. ERA needs a decent sample size. That's why you have pitchers, even starters, have the same peripheral stats in consecutive years with more than a point difference in ERA. Only in the last few years have the rigors of Statistics 101 been applied to baseball stats. There is a lot of noise. That's exactly what I meant in the first place.

    Is the Pac-10 tourney only being shown on FSN West? I know CBS is showing the title game. Personally, I'd rather see the Pac-10 tourney than the Big East tourney. I've been seeing the Pac 10 tourney on my FSN channel, and I'm in the Southeast right now.

    How many times do you see this on a play by play? I have never seen them use a nickname in an official thing like a play by play before.

    Thank you very much. Yes, I'm very grateful sweetpeteman for the sacrifice in doing that.
