Gammon-ical Error, Continued I defy

Gammon-ical Error, Continued

I defy anyone to make sense of the following offering from Peter Gammons' Diamond Notes:

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, of those with 20 or more starts, those who had the most significant improvement in the stetch as opposed to out of the stretch in 2002 were Colon (.758 OPS against out of the windup, .600 out of the stretch) and Barry Zito (.686 and .548 respectively). Those who had the biggest differentials throwing out of the stretch: Frank Castillo (OPS +.245 out of the stretch), Brad Radke (+.242), Danys Baez (+.201), A.J. Burnett (+.188) and Mike Mussina (+.184).

"Stetch"? "Out of the stretch" is obviously the opposite of "out of the stretch", right?
