Something I found interesting

Saunders ERA + 107 Winning % 676
Jered Weaver ERA+ 121 Winning % 649

Lackey ERA+ 118 Winning % 590
Santana ERA+ 98 Winning % 563

Those are career numbers and the pitchers who are caught by Naps have the higher winning %.

Dude, that pitch looks suspiciously under then horizontal line

above which is where pitchers are supposed to slot their arms.

by shiftyeyedgoat on Sep 26, 2009 8:51 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Is there actually a rule on that?

Or is it just the common way of pitching?

~Till the Halo burns out...

by Zu Long on Sep 26, 2009 8:52 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I've heard from umps that there is a rule construed as such

but it is neither enforced nor commonly known due to its obscurity in wording.

I’m finding the letter of the law now.

According to mlb.com:

- link -

My brother and I have an argument, he says that pitchers in the Major Leagues are not allowed to throw underhand. But I have seen pitchers throw underhand. Is there a rule stating whether or not a pitcher can throw underhand?

[Umpire Lance] Barksdale: I would think they can if they want to. No, there’s no rule.

if they play CLEAN against Boston and don't blow saves

they will win.
NY has a good club and no way can Scioscia’s type of lineup be considered a favorite in that stadium.

Tim Leary and Tim Belcher were pretty good that year too though.

I mean, have you seen the Cardinals pitching staff from 2006? Jason Marquis and Jeff Weaver were their post-season aces, for crying out loud!

Baseball thought Wainwright had no business starting a game in the postseason

as he had performed so admirably in the bullpen that year.

There was a consensus it was LaRussa going loco that convinced him to put Wainwright in the rotation.

What I saw him when he was a HS player

Always ticketed to be a starter got his start in the pen like Joba. Wainwright became closer because Izzy was hurt. He never started a game in that 2006 post

He was okay in the 7th-8th.

Not that great for an NL bullpen though. The one thing he did well was not walk people and throw strikes. He wasn’t really the sort you’d put confidence in with the game on the line. He was more of a good luck charm, kind of like Palmer.

*shrug*

Comparitively, the 2006 Cards had a 97 OPS+ and a 98 ERA+.

88 Dodgers had a 90 OPS+ and 113 ERA+. The Cardinals were a below-average team compared to the rest of their league, and the Dodgers were above average, if only slightly.

Keep in mind that the Cardinals also played in an era where the NL is undoubtedly the weaker divison, whereas in the 80’s it was more even.

Shift of power was taking place already

only 7 NL tams have won a WS since 88. Oakland was a huge fav to win. Are you old enough to have even watched the series then or been familiar with the players that the Dodgers had?

Nope. I was 3.

I’ve watched the series in retrospect, and I’m familliar with the players if only because half of them are now coaches for the Angels.

I don’t see why that matters. The dodgers might have been serious underdogs, but they had the pitching to win. The Cardinals were just a massively inferior team on both sides of the ball.

~Till the Halo burns out...

I ask because

They were not good and it was easy to see. The Dodgers won on pitching alone while in 2006 did you really think Det was the better team when you matched them up? Young pitching staff old tired closer and basically the Tigers were a very young team except for Pudge. I wasnt surprised by them betting the Tigers
