Defense is Difference

I’m no sabermetrician but I developed a few formulae that summarize last night’s game.

6 (Total Tampa Bay runs) - 4 (unearned runs) < 5 (Total Boston runs)

Marco Scutaro (first inning at bat) - bat = Happy kid in the stands

Mike Cameron one-out double (third inning) + Ben Zobrist (catch of Jeremy Hermida’s fly ball to right) ≠ Redemption

Victor Martinez (leadoff single in the fourth) + David Ortiz (double off the left field wall) = 0 runs

James Shields + 121 pitches + third start of the season + Joe Maddon = Dusty Baker

7th inning rally (Dustin Pedroia two-run HR + Kevin Youkilis solo HR) < Unearned runs from Cameron’s 1st inning error

39 degrees + 37,022 fans + rain + loss ≠ “Dirty Water”

Game 11: April 17, 2010
