He advanced on error. What makes it earned?

The scorekeeper, apparently.

Good Job offense

He advanced on error. What makes it earned?

Oh, they just changed it in Gameday. Now tallied as an unearned run.

Not a good inning

5 pitch inning.. f*** yeah.

I'll give them the slight benefit of the doubt that the ridiculous 16 out of 19 games on the road or whatever it is has taken a little toll.

 

Stretch with 16 of 19 on road.

 

Four trips to the West Coast to play 15 games.

 

The 2012 schedule was poorly made.

Score X runs in the top of the inning

Concede the same number in the bottom

???

Profit

defense sure has been hurting this team lately

 

Maybe it's karma for bashing the Tigers defense

As it should be. I checked and it showed earned. I was thinking WTF?

we can replace ??? with "be a first place team"

That was an earned run.

 

I don't think it was. Without the error, the runner advances to 3rd on the groundout, then inning over. It doesn't matter that the error was on the pitcher

Although, I have to say I've never liked the fact that the pitcher gets off the hook due to his own error.

Valencia goes deep. 2-1 Twins.

2-1 Twins. f***ing christ.

That was a cookie

Peavy hasn't looked overly sharp for a long time now. The insane pitch counts have to be catching up to him. I hate Valencia, he seems to always perform well against the Sox.

Glad to see we give up homeruns to guys hitting 200.

I remember questioning that as a kid. My father explained to me that ERA was a reflection of his pitching performance, not his defense. It's amazing the little things you recall after a few decades.

I'm sure he will throw about 130 again today though.

Teams that pitch to Dunn could say the same thing.

agreed and we seem to say that about almost every twins player <_>

I wonder if people post the same thing about Adam Dunn?

Teams that pitch to Dunn could say the same thing.

Dunn is a power hitter. Valencia is a bum.

Peavy has given up the long ball again. Ok score is 2-1 Minny which means our one run may be be all the offense generates as usual when Jake is on the hill. Hopefully they do better this time around and he holds the Twins

I know of a roster spot that Brent Morel can use...
