Please don’t tell me it was Howry that gave up the lead. If it was I bet Eyre is screaming Why Me

Thanks.
Damn, Now I really feel bad for Eyre and am starting to really dislike Howry. I’m taking this much too personally.

I mean, he didn’t hurt a loved one (physically anyway) but he just is a pile of crap out there. A sure lead blower.

It really is ODD that a quirk
of scoring is to give a blown hold or save pitcher a win if his team comes back and scores the next inning. I guess the theory is he didn’t blow it bad enough to keep his team in the game.
But still, this quirk in scoring needs to be changed, IMO. Whoever comes in next and pitches and keeps the lead should be awarded the W. I have always found this a very odd way to get a win—through FAILURE. One of the odd parts of baseball that awards failure.

This is amusing
Game cast has a hitzone thing that tells you how a batter performs in certain zones in the strike zone. If you throw the ball right down the middle of the plate to Matsui, he hits .000
by DWChaney on Aug 5, 2008 4:05 PM CDT reply actions 0 recs
they've mentioned that with a few other known hitters as well
vlad guerro hits like .140 when pitched down the middle and i remember the commentators saying that was misleading. nobody in the right mind would wanna pitch anybody down the heart of the plate, it’s just the hitters don’t expect pitchers to throw that bad of a ball.
