It's Lima time

Re: It\'s Lima time

If you noticed his ERA stayed under 4 while in the Astrodome. The first year the Astros were in MMP (2000) his ERA shot up dramatically. Lima is a fly ball pitcher and MMP is a ballpark best suited for a groundball pitcher.

The change in ballparks might account for a fair increase in ERA but Lima's increase was absurd. There was obviously something else at work there. Probably 2 or 3 things else at work there. He pitched at Comerica after that I recall and was likewise terrible.

Well, the changing of ballparks could have been part of it. However, if you're a flyball pitcher, you're a bad pitcher. But hey, at least yesterday he kept the Giants in check; he only gave allowed 1 home run to Bonds.
