They have a more difficult job than most people give them credit for, but like most managers, they still manage to screw up enough to warrant complaining. :)<BR/><BR/>I was going to post soon about the guys with the highest Unearned Run Average and highest percentage of total runs that were unearned. I just wanted to get the raw totals out of the way first.Theron Schultzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15337426180976322059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865033892051180248.post-57841830700882902842008-09-28T20:00:00.000-05:002008-09-28T20:00:00.000-05:00An impact from hometown or star-dazzled official s...An impact from hometown or star-dazzled official scorers? Ahh, the sorry plight of the poor scorer. All of the blame and none of the glory. Now there's an obscure subject that might be the subject of a future article - something to do with scorers.<BR/><BR/>As your dad may have suggested, if there is a statistical imbalance due to games played or other factors, you have to level the playing field. Maybe the study should have incorporated a ratio of unearned runs to total runs allowed? In any event, this was a good study, as it opened my eyes to the downward trend of unearned runs over the years and the reasons why.Bopperlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05608120002019318267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865033892051180248.post-46261280684735867332008-09-28T09:35:00.000-05:002008-09-28T09:35:00.000-05:00Well, good pitchers have longer careers than guys ...Well, good pitchers have longer careers than guys who give up a ton of runs all at once, so they have more opportunities to allow unearned runs. To give up 100 unearned runs these days, you would have to give up probably at least 800 total runs. The fewest innings pitched by an active pitcher that's allowed 800+ runs is 1357 (by Jason Johnson). That's seven or eight full seasons' worth of starts. You've got to be at least decent to stay in rotations that long.<BR/><BR/>Plus, once a pitcher gets a reputation as a star who doesn't allow many runs, official scorers <I>might</I> start giving him the benefit of the doubt on iffy plays behind him, especially in his home ballpark in order to help his ERA.Theron Schultzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15337426180976322059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2865033892051180248.post-48430798448854443642008-09-28T09:05:00.000-05:002008-09-28T09:05:00.000-05:00In my younger days, I had always thought that Cy Y...In my younger days, I had always thought that Cy Young must have been one of the most outstanding pitchers in baseball history. He had the pitching award named after him. However, the more we dig under the surface, the more that we see that it was at another cost. Like the Gretzky era in the NHL, there seems little chance that these records you listed will ever be approached.<BR/><BR/>Hough and Wakefield being in this Recent list does not surprise me because of the knuckleball factor. What does surprise me, though, is that these pitchers on the Recent list are all known stars. What's up with that!Bopperlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05608120002019318267noreply@blogger.com
