Winkler to start Friday...

after looking at the stats it appears that Purke gives up more hits within the same inning while he has more 1-2-3 innings as well. If a few of his hits were spread out his ERA would be below 3 like Maxwell's


Yes! I had the exact same impression this year. If it's true, I guess that could be due to bad luck or inexperience. But Purke's peripherals are otherworldly, where the other guys' are merely very good. The opponent's slugging %, in particular, is just amazing. That's why I'd prefer that Purke pitch against the strongest lineup.

Still wish the Rangers had signed Purke just so I could root for the guy for the next decade. Oh well, guess I'll just have to make the most of his time at TCU.

Way to have your priorities straight. Maybe your name should be longranger.

You make it sound like starting Winkler is a gamble. The kid is a horse and, other that SO, his stats are slightly better than Purke. I don't think there can be 2nd guesing with this decision unless Purke gets shelled in game 2 and don't see that happening.

Or TCU loses to Lamar. Then let the second-guessing begin.

What do our pitchers' stats look like if you throw out that weird weekend in Colorado Springs?

It's just for my health. If the Frogs fail, their recent successes still leave me totally content. With the Rangers, well... let's just say that after getting swept by the Twins and then seeing Hamilton K with runners on the corners and no outs then Harden dig us an early hole, I was less than content.

That's a pretty convenient position you've taken. You can't be proven wrong, only proven right.

Nice work. Those are some sweet numbers . . . especially Maxwell's.
