Tuesday
0-2 yesterday with a pass on the Arizona game that also would have been a loser. Not only were we 0-2, but neither team he had scored a run. That’s 18 innings of futility to go with the 13 from Saturday when Sean and I were at Wrigley and it’s very apparent that this baseball season needs to end soon. There’s an article here describing the expansion of (or return to) the rulebook defined strike zone and how it’s led to a significant reduction in scoring along with fewer steroids and shifting defenses.
The lower strike zone explains one-third to two-fifths of the offensive decrease over the last five years.
I’m not longing for the days of futility infielders hitting 30 home runs a year, but I’d like to see a run scored every so often, even if I’m gambling on and watching some of the worst offenses in the league.
No plays tonight.
