[NinersSBChamps]

Was it foul?

 

[Heyward]

Was it foul?

Its not reviewable.

 

[ATLBraves247]

Cameron just won the game boys

 

[buck75]

Chopping Maybin

 

[Krovahn]

Huge series win!

 

[NinersSBChamps]

Its not reviewable.

Aware of that. Just curious if it was a blown call. Would be nice get one like that against these piss pushers.

 

[WaitingFor2017]

Sweep the Phillies to get back to .500. It's doable.

 

[buck75]

A thing of beauty - right over the bag

 

[Julio3000]

That's twice now that Maybin has won a game after screwing up. Love the heart.

 

[ATLBraves247]

Was it foul?

It went over the bag, thus making it a fair ball

 

[Julio3000]

I mean, that was CB Bucknor at third . . . surely he got it right.

Was there ever video showing the ball down the line?

 

[ATLBraves247]

He gets no respect, he's clutch with runners in scoring position.

 

[Julio3000]

Was there ever video showing the ball down the line?

From what I saw, it looked like it went over the bag. Didn't see a very good angle, though.

 

[gilesfan]

Is the goal to hold the other team from scoring?

I think we just saw why using ERA can be dumb.

Obviously more should go into evaluation, but it does have value...since it's the primary way to judge your results so far. Peripherals can be better for predicting in the future, but I think ERA has become almost undervalued. There will always be guys who consistently out pitch their FIPs and K rates and so on.

 

[ATLBraves247]

I agree, I look at era and whip to decide how dominant a pitcher is, Ks are nice but there are some good strikeout pitchers that have inflated eras.

And how many that outpitch their peripherals over a large sample are due to defense behind them? Or a guy that gets to pitch in Dodger Stadium?

I am president of the Greinke fan club and the difference between the two is innings pitched. 1.75 era pitching 8 innings a start is a lot better than 1.75 era pitching 7 innings a start.

Haven't seen a pitcher this dominant sinceP̶e̶d̶r̶o̶.....Man Ban.
