[QUOTE="wpr, post: 1475489, member: 4159"] I guess I don't understand the concept behind ESPN's starting pitcher "game score". I realize it'a a 0-100 range. Tonight Hudson pitched 6 2/3 innings. He didn't give up any hits or runs. He had 7 strikeouts and issued 4 walks. That gives him a game score of 77. Granted the score is above average (50) but considering "average" would be a minimum of 2 runs. A whip of 1.22 which means 8 base runners. And 6.5 strikeouts. Granted the strikeouts are only slightly above average. Still I would think he merits something closer to 85-90. I can only assume he is penalized for not going the full 9 innings and they are deducting roughly 25 points for the final 2 1/3 innings that he didn't pitch. Note: I used the whip and K/9 for the # 34 SP. They are 1.22 and 8.73 per MLB's stats for qualified starting pitchers. [/QUOTE]
