John Hirshbeck o/u 2-13
- Thread starter Houston Gambler
- Start date
Houston, I made those plays all last year but you need to keep in mind. Those umps that have streaks like Hirshbeck will also have streaks the other way. hirshbeck has only had 2 overs all year. I got off after his second over and looks like it might be time to reconsider. Last year, one of my fav was Hernandez. Like money in the bank. This year he's about 60-40. Watch out after the all-star break. Sorry about while ago. I was looking at the wrong figures. GL

Not only is he a bad ball&strike
arbitrator, but a very arrogant one.
Makes you wonder what kind of review
these guys are under.

very arrogant. if, after taking a 3-2 pitch, the batter starts for 1st without waiting for hirsbeck's call, it will be a called strike three even if the ball was in the dirt.
Was reading something on this subject last nite, thought I'd throw it into the mix if it helps.
A baseball capper wrote that the walk-to-strikeout ratio was more important than the umpire's avg runs or "over/under" numbers.
Said if the ump has a walk-to-strikeout ratio of over 2.2 or under 1.4 it could be seen as a significant advantage to totals bettors.
But he would go back a couple of years to check consistency with the zone from that ump (maybe that changes this year with the "new" zone?)
Hirshbeck's stats reveal that batters better go to the plate swinging. There's an avg of 14.4 strikeouts per game and just 5.1 walks per outing; and a walk-to-strikeout ratio of 2.8 to 1 - which has been consistent thruout his career.
Have tried to compile this chart of some "over" and "under" umps thru June 12:
Avg Runs Games U O K/game BB/game K/BB
Over:
Culbreth 12.27 11 2 9 12.4 7.8 1.6
Phillips 12.50 8 1 7 11.1 6.5 1.7
Higgins,S 12.88 8 1 6 13.3 8.8 1.5
Under:
Emmel 7.85 13 3 10 13.5 5.5 2.4
Hirschbek,J 7.43 14 3 10 14.4 5.1 2.8
Hirschbek,M 7.29 14 3 11 14.9 7.9 1.9
Guccione 8.29 7 1 6 13.7 8.0 1.7
Hope it helps a little/generates further discussion

J Hirshbeck's SO/Walk ratio might be more normal if he would get a much needed appointment at a Pearl Vision Center.
the guy will call pitches that are a foot outside strikes.
