mmmmmbeeer Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Does anyone remember if the last games of the spring played in MLB parks are usually played by starters? I'm really wanting to take the kids to Turner Field next weekend but don't want to pay ML prices for ml baseball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really wanting to take the kids to Turner Field next weekend but don't want to pay ML prices for ml baseball. The starters usually play some, but the end of the game will be the scrubbiest scrubs who ever scrubbed. Especially in the last game. Especially the pitchers. Usually the rule of thumb is you go full out in your 2nd to last start before the season, then you back off to 75-80 pitches in your last preparatory outing.

SoxFan562004 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Pitchers will probably see less time, Peavy pitched 112 pitches his previous outing, but I heard for his last outing he'll throw about 70 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man, I had one of their "Chicago Dogs" last season and, well, it was quite possibly the most disgusting thing I've ever had at a ballpark. They're giving Chicago a bad name with that bullsh*t.

The official scorer shall credit a pitcher with a save when such pitcher meets all four of the following conditions: (a) He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his team; (B) He is not the winning pitcher; © He is credited with at least a third of an inning pitched; and (d) He satisfies one of the following conditions: (1) He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning; (2) He enters the game, regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, or at bat or on deck (that is, the potential tying run is either already on base or is one of the first two batters he faces); or (3) He pitches for at least three innings. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/official_info/offic...l_scorer_10.jsp the last one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't the starter have to throw at least 5 innings to qualify for the win? If so, that should have made Colon the pitcher of record I believe. Unless rules are different in ST...?

I believe that in ST, the starter doesnt have to go 5 innings for the win. He can go 1 or 2 innings and if he leaves with the lead, they give him the W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, thats exactly what I was wondering. I dont understand how one can get a 5 inning save when the SP must have at least 5 IP to qualify for the win. Odd...

drowninginflame Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 I'm leaving New Orleans Friday night to go to the game on Saturday. It's my gf's first Sox game. It's gonna be fun because it's me, and her best friend, who's also from Chicago and her best friend's bf is from ATL. We're going to the home opener too vs. the Cubs, we're getting Braves t shirts and wearing our Sox hats. I'm bringing her up for Cubs/Sox as well. I'm excited for this season.
