Originally posted by Don Sicilia: 2 - I'm sure someone can do the quick math, but were we, the ones with Houston yesterday, better off going into extra innings and lose or winning with a shutout in regulation? It looks like we're better off with the extra inning loss, but either way, 39 points ain't too shabby!
Actually, I did the math yesterday.
Had Piazza made an out and Houston won 2-0, it was a 40 point game, so the extra inning loss cost you one pitching point.
But, as Buffy pointed out, and what really affected you DB, was that I had Piazza, and the homer got me 7 offensive points. So the homer, not necessarily the extra innings which were a result of the homer, cost you 8 points.
