I'm not sure what to name this term, but I think it's a good idea.

In h2h play for instance, when you look at the score of one of your opponents pitchers games and you see they lost 6-4, so you think to yourself, nice, their pitcher got lit up tonight! But then you go to the box score and see 6IP, 6H, 2BB and 0ER, but 4 unearned runs. There's gotta be a term for this for when you get your hopes up, but they are quickly shut down because of the 0EA performance.

Feels similar to Ticker Tease.

That happened to me with Santana tonight.

Hah. Ya it is similar to ticker tease. I glanced through the glossary quickly, couldn't find anything similar, but then reading the post earlier today noticed the Bruce ticker tease and it clued in.
