Unusual Line:
From yesterday's White Sox-Indians game:
Chicago IP H R ER BB K #Pit ERA
Ritchie (L,3-7) 5 4 8 0 2 3 89 4.37
Although there were two errors in the inning, the first one caused all the runs to be unearned. Ritchie pitched badly in the inning, giving up 4 hits, 2 walks, and a Thome HR. I've always wondered if pitchers think, "I'm not getting charged with these runs, I don't care if I allow them." I often get that feeling with relievers. "These men on base aren't my responsibility, they aren't going to hurt my ERA." If you've played fantasy baseball and had a relief pitcher allow runners charged to one of your starters score, you know what I mean.
