If a pitcher pitches 45 innings with an ERA of 0.5, he will have allowed 2.5 earned runs on the year, which would be quite an accomplishment in itself.
Ben Clemens
12:06
You're technically correct
Which is the best kind of correct
Meg Rowley
Emil

The half run was an automatic runner on second
Ben Clemens
12:08
Or someone safe but called out on replay
Meg Rowley
12:08
(crowd goes wild, whole weekend are spent looking at those leaderboards
Ben Clemens
12:09
They are a lot of fun
Arrieta had the best 60-game pitching stretch for ERA, btw
0.41
12:10
I believe these stats start in 1974?
Meg Rowley
12:10
yup yup
Ben Clemens
12:10
So no year of the pitcher stuff
But yeah, uh, it's not happening is the point
12:11
These 60-game leaderboards even overstate how likely a thing like this is to happen this year
Because you get so many bites at the 60-game apple in a 162-game season
Meg Rowley
12:11
right exactly
Ben Clemens
12:11
Get crushed in your first start? Rebuy!
12:12
I spent a long time looking at the in-game 'roman' ad in the a's game
On a splitscreen of ramon laureano's swing
Meg Rowley
12:12
Ha!
Ben Clemens
12:12
and I thought, oh, hey, why are they showing his first name for so long?
John
12:13
I thought they misspelled it lol
I was like that's a whoops
Ben Clemens
12:13
'and why lowercase?!?!'

i love that the worst 60 game stretch by war is Ryan Doumit - who during that stretch still hit a respectable .302/.336/.414!
Ben Clemens
12:13
There's something to the fact that to qualify over a 60-game stretch you have to keep playing
But yeah
It's great
12:14
'respectable' .302 batting average lol

The considerable number of 60-game spans in an 162-game season is also presumably why it will take the crowd the whole weekend to look at the leaderboards.
Meg Rowley
12:14
It's a rich text.
12:15
Does anyone else yell LA STELLLLAAAA whenever Tommy is mentioned?
I am very tired.
John
12:17
I just tuned in to the Angel's game - why is rendon not playing?
Meg Rowley
12:17
Has an oblique thing
Ben Clemens
12:17
The chat is moving on, and I'm still deep into this Ryan Doumit season
What the heck
OBP was VERY high in 2009

The Dodgers organist just played "Rio" by Duran Duran when Edwin Rios came in to pinch run.. was this a coincidence or intentional?
