The only way it could screw up your ERA is if you gave up a HR.
Otherwise game is over when the winning run touches the plate...
Anyway, perhaps it was just my games partly but there was a lot of walking in runs than I ever saw in MLB in the same amount of games...
Then again, the Mets had like a 6-run rally this season on bases on balls walks alone.
The game is ever-changing.
I don't know about your point, McDog.
. One does not want to walk in the winning run... Other times in the game? I kind of get Tommy John's point in his quote that he isn't going to change things but still feel there are times where you should be confident and competent enough to throw a strike rather than give the other team a run.
