Unearned runs are now the pitcher's fault?

Yea, you're prob right.bullard21k said:
I don't think that's true but I would think if he came here it would be as a DH for the most part.
in 2014 they were giving away tickets to people,, i remember signing some tv petition for the astros and getting a pair of free tickets every month for several years. a couple times in the first or second row of the lower levelAustinCountyAg said:
I remember going to watch the stros play the indians in an exhibition game at MMP maybe 7 or 8 years ago? Might've been all of 10,000 people there tops. We sat right behind vistors dugout and paid about $15 per seat. my how the times have changed.
If a reliever comes in with the bases loaded and gives up a routine ground ball to first that is booted allowing two runs to score, the reliever did his job, even if his statsheet says that he allowed two inherited runners to score. Run prevention isn't solely on the pitcher.Agnzona said:
Inherited runners also don't count as ERA. However for any reliever runs allowed is the only stat that really matters. One could have a sub .100 era and blow 50 saves.

3. Astros
Closer: Ken Giles
Top setup options: Chris Devenski, Will Harris, Hector Rondon, Joe Smith
The Astros used smoke, mirrors, Lance McCullers Jr. and Charlie Morton to get their biggest outs of the postseason. Hard to know how much to read into the October 'pen vs. the regular-season 'pen, but it's generally best to bet on the bigger samples, and a strong, deep rotation could take some pressure off the relief corps. Giles had a 2.30 ERA and a 1.04 WHIP in 62 2/3 regular-season innings last year. A big key will be Chris Devenski providing similar value to what he gave Houston in 2017, when he ate up 80 2/3 innings with a 0.94 WHIP.
