True outcomes.
Walks, strikeouts, home runs. A game with too many true outcomes isn’t much fun. Especially when your team is the victim of true outcomes.
Against his first 13 batters, Astros starter Luis Garcia had nine true outcomes: five K’s and three BB’s.
Booooring.
And one HR. Unfortunately, the home run came after an infield single and two walks.
Yeah, true outcomes. They weren’t much fun for Garcia and the Astros when Chad Pinder gave the A’s four runs in one big batch to give the A’s a 4-0 lead in the third inning.
