Best in AAA Baseball — The Durham Bulls

Scranton Times-Tribune



But there's more ...







  1. When the starter doesn't go 5, then it's scorer's discretion on who gets the win usually based on "most deserving". I assume in this case because Honeywell pitched the longest he got it.

    1. Thanks. Didn't know that. Honeywell did have a good outing.

  2. I think the relevant rule for Honeywell credited with the win is 9.17(c): "The official scorer shall not credit as the winning pitcher a relief pitcher who is ineffective in a brief appearance, when at least one succeeding relief pitcher pitches effectively in helping his team maintain its lead. In such a case, the official scorer shall credit as the winning pitcher the succeeding relief pitcher who was most effective, in the judgment of the official scorer." Since Hu allowed 2 base hits, resulting in a run, Cedeno was only in 1 inning, and Honeywell held the lead over 2 2/3, I think the official scorer reckoned Honeywell the most effective of the bunch.

  3. Makes sense to me. Thank you. Learned something.
