You even said your self later that it was probably the local stations that decided what to air (basketball over the PBA). So how is that an epic fail for the PBA? Are you sure you looked at the entire schedule? In Mobile, we had two of one of the local networks. One showed the national programming that you saw advertised on TV, and the other showed more local programming.
I'd have to agree to an extent on the criticisms of Daugherty. I didn't count the boards or anything, but it never looked like he even bothered to move. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Whether or not that line/ball was money for him all week, maybe between the TV lights and the way the other bowlers broke the pair down, it wasn't right on that day. Move in and really rip on it, take some hand out and play a little closer to Mika, something. He certainly never got any luck by breaking down any splits, but he squashed the nose dead on many shots.
My last week of Cheetah for my PBA league I wasn't scoring well. I always throw up the ditch at this house and usually use the same ball. After several bad frames I moved in quite a bit even though that is usually a no-no (especially for someone with my rev rate at this house). Marginally better, so I moved back out with a different ball. Much better. Even though the original ball on the original line had been great the other 6-7 weeks of Cheetah here, it wasn't that day. Even if he was just trying to get out of Mika's way (in the 5th frame??), why not do something different? Throwing a strike or two, even if the were Brooklyn or something would have got him out of the way faster than throwing a split almost every frame.
