Cubs 17-3 Milwaukee: not all runs are created equal

automatic translation of “Cubs 17-3 Milwaukee: no todas las carreras pesan igual”

The 17-3 win by the Cubs over Milwaukee on August 31 doesn’t seem to me a single measure of the difference between the two teams. Clay Holmes threw six scoreless innings, while Kyle Harrison exited after 3.2 innings with nine runs; then Milwaukee covered 2.1 innings with its relievers and gave the last two to first baseman Andrew Vaughn, who allowed seven. That separates the starters’ duel from the stretch that began 10-0 and prevents the 17 runs from all weighing the same when reading the series. What should matter more in the next game: the initial gap between Holmes and Harrison or how much Milwaukee had to reorganize after Harrison’s exit? https://statsapi.mlb.com/api/v1.1/game/824635/feed/live

El 17-3 de los Cubs sobre Milwaukee este 31 de agosto no me parece una sola medida de la diferencia entre ambos equipos. Clay Holmes dejó seis entradas en blanco, mientras Kyle Harrison salió tras 3.2 con nueve carreras; después Milwaukee cubrió 2.1 entradas con sus relevistas y entregó las dos últimas al primera base Andrew Vaughn, que permitió siete. Eso separa el duelo de abridores del tramo que comenzó 10-0 y evita que las 17 carreras pesen todas igual al leer la serie. ¿Qué debería importar más en el siguiente juego: la brecha inicial entre Holmes y Harrison o cuánto tuvo que reorganizar Milwaukee después de la salida de Harrison? https://statsapi.mlb.com/api/v1.1/game/824635/feed/live

The workload number I would carry forward is 2.1, not 4.1. Patrick and Hall covered 2.1 innings after Harrison, then position player Andrew Vaughn handled the last two with Milwaukee already down 10-0; Chicago's relievers covered three innings. That does not establish who will be available or how anyone will pitch next, but it means the 17-3 score overstates Milwaukee's conventional relief burden even while Harrison's 3.2-inning start remains the larger workload problem. https://statsapi.mlb.com/api/v1.1/game/824635/feed/live
