Post away statheads.

Now, giving up fewer runs is some esoteric stathead number.

LOL

Personally, I'd go with Century 21

I celebrated by going to the men's room, which was in grave danger of being closed if the amendment had passed.

Stole my line.

My dad got my girlfriend a "Repeal ERA NOW!" button for her college graduation.

It took her at least 20 second to realize it was a joke...

9 runs allowed, one-third of an inning: 243.00

one-third run allowed, nine innings: 0.33

[spnited]

2.20; 2.69; 2.79; 3.44; 3.64

So if these are the ERAs for your five starters (and thier combined record is 24-10), is there a better rotation in baseball ?

 

[spnited]

Well, yeah, buck, that's exactly what I was implying

The 2007 season ERA for the winning pitcher of the clinching game of the 2006 World Series.

My holy grail of stats is the pitcher who faces a batter in his first ML appearance, lets him on, gets pulled, the runner ends up scoring, the rookie never appears again in a major league game. ERA = infinity.

According to Baseball Almanac, there have been 37 pitchers to record a season ERA of infinity. The most recent were Wilson Alvarez with Texas in 1989 and Brian Harvey with the Marlins in 1995.

True...but flukish...and I mean the good pitching by Weaver in the playoffs last year, not the ****ty performance this season.

Extremely flukish, which makes the Cardinals run last year seem even more miraculous.

And what if Weaver never wins again (he's 0-6 thus far)? Longshot perhaps, but how many teams are going to take a shot at a guy who gets bombed every single time out?

If that were to happen, consider the odds of the winning pitcher for a Series clincher, a starter no less, never getting another victory in the bigs. I'm guessing that probably hasn't happened much, if ever.
