What the heck happened to Bumgarner tonight?

[JEA2880]

0.1 innings, 8 ER, 216.00 ERA!!!

216? I thought I understood ERA but I guess I don't.

but to answer your question,

The Twins Happened.

The Twins Happened.

Earned Runs X 9 / IP 8*9/.33 = 218

Everyone has a game like that in their career. It's an anomaly.

This may help you better understand.

(Because Bumgarner pitched recorded out)

27 (outs per game) * 8 (Runs given up per out) = 216 ERA (if he pitched all nine innings)

If he did not record an out his ERA would have been infinite.

I've never seen it calculated that way. Sine he only recorded 1 out isn't it 1/3 of an inning not ONE.

ESPN.com wrote a fantasy article about him today. Musta read it and screwed me over.

Ooops, I meant one out. So he pitched 1/27 of a game.

He gave up 8 runs in that 1/27 of the game, therefore his ERA is 8 * 27.

Finding ERA like this is only good when you have a nice even inning count, such as (one out), 2 innings, or six innings.

You can find ERA by doing.....

(9 / IP) * ER = ERA

I was at the game, most of them were ground balls...ground balls up the middle and down the line. Didn't look like a lot of solid contact, but it was crazy.

so, in being 3-9 on the defending world series winner,
does bummy officially suck?

Yup, he only had 10 consecutive quality starts! Ugh, he is so bad!

Sorry bud, that is Timmy not MadBum, anyways MadBum had been doing well with Whiteside and Stewart...fail troll.

 

[lisu]

I would say the crappy left side of the infield didn't help bumgarner either.

 

[D-Lite]

I'd say it's regression to the mean.

 

[AmishDave]

His "fastball" was straight as an arrow. Batting practice for the Twins
