Around SBN: Diego Sanchez and the Dangers of Fame in MMA

Game 45, Thread 2: Not Bronson, That's A Roy O.

Micah Owings has been in some jams, but has escaped without terrible damage, and the Reds have cobbled together some runs off of Oswalt.  Laynce Nix doesn't see what the big deal about this guy is.

3-3 in the top of the sixth, and Lincoln just came in.  I hear the power of prayer is effective.

Go Reds!

Brantley

sounds like he is calling for Lincoln to go away.

Hope Springs Eternal!

by Caleb on May 26, 2009 9:32 PM EDT reply actions  

But more importantly

Lincoln’s hips are too open and his elbow doesn’t get to that ninety degree angle that gives him the torque he needs to command that fastball, and so he is unable to hit the outside corner. As we can see here (cue video replay) Hernandez is setting up off the outside of the strike zone and Lincoln leave it over the middle of the plate, belt-high, right down broadway (cue video of pitch located at the knees and over the outside corner), and it is tattooed by the hitter. You just cannot throw pitches in the strike zone to that hitter in that situation. Also, you have to throw strikes in this league or you will find yourself on a bus back to Louisville. Also, you’ve got to learn how to pitch outside the strike zone. Also, these young kids should be watching David Weathers and taking notes.

That runner was rounding third on contact with 2 outs. He’s had that hit hundreds of times and the runner ALWAYS scores. I’m sure he’s pretty pissed off right now that the runner wasn’t on his way to the plate.

is ERA+ a better measure of a pitcher than ERA? And if so why?

Hope Springs Eternal!

by Caleb on May 26, 2009 10:06 PM EDT up reply actions  

I think ERA+ is a reference to the league ERA

As in an ERA+ is dead on league average, 200 is phenomenal.
