What is a blowout?

[JEFFFESPERMAN]

Does anyone know how HAL defines "blowout?" I am trying to develop a pitching strategy for Coors Field and it would be helpful if I knew the precise definition.

A blow-out is a game in which one team wins by many runs.

I'm not sure what a blow out is, but it can be important in Coors. I have had a mop up guy win 14 games when my best starter only won 15. I would say an ideal mop up in Coors would be a guy like Orvella or Carrara. They are relatively cheap, but still can be very(sub 4.00 if you are lucky) effective and rack up some wins if the offense cooperates. Of course you can get lucky with some of .50 guys like White, etc. also. I didn't have any great strategy, but I had a good offense.

I find it very ironic that a Tarheel wouldn't know what a blow-out is. :twisted: :P :wink:

Signed, Clemson guy :D

P.S. Sorry Tarheel, couldn't resist. You're allowed to tell me something like you've never won in basketball at Chapel Hill. :wink:

a blow out is a 2-2 tie in 8th because that is when he usually puts in my mop up guy
