Last night at the Dbacks/Phillies game I was reminded of some of the stupid scoring rules that exist in the sport I spend too much time watching. The situation went like this:
Man on first, top half of the inning, no outs, Jon Garland is pitching. Garland makes a pickoff throw to first but tosses it like a little bitch and the ball skips away with the baserunner moving all the way around to third. An error is charged to Garland and the runner eventually scores. The run that scores however, is not charged as earned because of the error EVEN THOUGH GARLAND WAS THE ONE WHO COMMITTED THE ERROR.
Let me get this straight: you’re more than willing to give a pitcher credit for a team stat like a win or a loss but when he is directly responsible for fucking over his team he isn’t even charged with a run?
God, the old people who decided how to score this sport are so fucking stupid.
I been saying this for years.
So I had 6 HRs last night in the MLJ Commenter league. I might fuck around and Win both leagues.
Also, for the record, Garland was throwing over WITH PEDRO FELIZ ON FIRST. Pedro makes Roman’s boy Brian Schneider look like Carl Crawford. Dude wasn’t going anywhere.
no you won’t, because you have jo-el piniero on your team.
And Garland continued to throw over with Feliz on first in the later innings.
Jo-el is fucking ballin right now. Im going to piss on you.
don’t worry. he’ll come around and start shitting the bed like i have been forced to watch for the last year and half.
Yea thank God he isnt my only pitcher.
