Normally double plays are the result of an excellent pitch by the pitcher... not luck.Originally Posted by The Rage
Any time you can induce a ground ball as a pitcher, you have won that AB... even if it squirts through the infield. If its a hard line drive, the hitter won the AB, even if its caught.
Norris with a 5.20 ERA, and we only have 3 bloop hits and a seeing eye ground ball single through 4 innings
Homer consistently gets stronger as the game goes on. A very nice Glavinlike quality.
He's an mediocre to average right handed pitcher. We don't do that well against those types. It happens when you got 8 right handed batters in the lineup and refuse to do anything about it.
And he also has 6 stikeouts
If you apply the ranking of "AA" to the astros lineup while playing at home, you are stating that over a third of the major league lineups are worse than "AA".
WOW, 40yrold, rage and maker 69 surely must be Cardinal fans...right????
Except for the two walks, pitching a nice intelligent game. That little 2nd baseman hit two good pitches. What we've been seeing from Homer lately.
The rage is such a joke...
Norris now with 7 K's through 5
Im not sure why they havent banned Rage yet...
Reds winning through 4 and a half.
See how easy that was? Wasnt hard at all. Try it sometime.
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGEEEEEEEE
Homers getting a lot of ground balls tonight...I dont think thats luck. Thats good pitching.
During the Lindner years we lost a lot of games to teams just as bad as this. Particularly on the road.
