Harry Chadwick invented it way back when

it was short for ‘struck’ which was more common than strikeout at the time

Whoah there...

I think 2003 Prior has to go into consideration too.

I mean, based purely on performance, Harden is the best most of us have EVER seen (remember – we didn’t have Maddux in his prime). But let’s let him keep doing it.

by SouthernCub on Aug 5, 2008 2:26 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Power versus control...different skill set.

I'd say he has a chance for 7 if he keeps his inning avg up

is avg. about 13 pithches an inning- 5th would 64, 6th would 77, 7th would be 90… might go longer since he will have 6 days rest next start
