vs. ROYALS, 4/23

[Can_of_corn]

Nice game from Kim.

Again.

Almost as if he can play a little.

[WEAVERMAN]

Only 1 out Joey, stay tough.

[survivedc]

This dude Kim is the master of eeking out hits

[Norfolk orioles]

So when does Kim become a regular?

[Can_of_corn]

They still count.

[Chavez Ravine]

2-4 with an RBI; not too shabby for Kim.

[WEAVERMAN]

MM, just go downtown kid.

[calmunderfire]

WTF? Frank Robinson April 1966. That can't be real.

[ArtVanDelay]

Again.

Almost as if he can play a little.

I'd like to see more of him and less of Alvarez.

[WEAVERMAN]

Manny to break it open here.

[Can_of_corn]

So when does Kim become a regular?

You shouldn't wish injuries on Oriole players.

Rickard and Reimold will both have to crash and burn.

[survivedc]

They still count.

No doubt. Ill take it. More excitement for me.

[WEAVERMAN]

I say it's Manny time.

[calmunderfire]

They still count.

Baseball reference says infield hits aren't as valuable as ones that reach the outfield.

[Sessh]

You're wrong.

I'm not going to argue about it anymore, because it is fact vs. opinion.

A pitcher is responsible for all of the runs that score while he is out there, and the unearned runs are subtracted and used to compute his ERA.

All of the runs are charged to his record, and separated as earned vs. unearned. He is responsible for all of them.

Unearned runs are charged to the team. By definition, unearned runs are not the fault of the pitcher and are therefore not counted against him. Runs the pitcher is responsible for count against him statistically. *shrugs*

They still keep track of them, but they mean absolutely nothing for a pitcher because they were not his fault and therefore not his responsibility. That's why they don't count; he wasn't responsible for them being on base.

It's not really "opinion".
