    Team ERA continues to climb. Enigmatic? If we keep using that word in reference to our pitching, Websters may have to add an alternate definition of the word. Let's go for it.

    I would. It was not a good AB. The pitcher beat him on that pitch and broke his bat. I would have loved for that ball to have fallen in, but it would have been a lucky hit, unlike the bomb that EE just hit.
  3. a700hitter
    Not bad luck. He broke his bat and made an out with men in scoring position and a hitter's count. If that ball fell in, it would have been bad luck for the pitcher. Craig just sucked once more.
  4. a700hitter
    Craig with another opportunity.
  5. a700hitter
    Five walks and two errors in 2 innings. Ugly.

    Kelly with his head up his ass in addition to sucking. Does that interference get scored as an error?
  7. a700hitter
    Kelly walks the #8 guy to start the 2nd inning. Here we go again.
  8. a700hitter
    Craig has had the opportunity to seize more playing time with so many guys hitting so poorly. He has really blown it. Nava and Napoli will eventually hit and there will be no playing time for Craig.

    Don says that if Kelly can get out of the first inning having given up only 1 run on 31 pitches that will be impressive. Seriously, Don? That exemplifies how bad the pitching has been.

    Our hard throwing pile of poop is on the mound today. I miss horserace.
  11. a700hitter
    Two pitchers who have been very disappointing for their respective teams. Someone has to win...right?
  12. a700hitter
    The staff is not enigmatic. They are a pile of hot steaming garbage.
  13. a700hitter
    And you are ignoring that his xfip is a full run below his career average. Isn't it likely that this will regress towards his norm of 4? I would assign some hope to his current xfip if it was his career norm, but it isn't. He will improve but he will probably end up with a 4.5 ERA which is just not good enough to be a top of the rotation pitcher.

    Spud, we have to cut the FO some slack. They put together the best staff they could from what was available. All the better pitchers were taken by the other 29 GMs. Greedy bastards!

    We are playing West Coast and Central teams from now until the end of May, mainly on the road. This will be a survival test for this team. It will be a very very tough stretch. They will be lucky to keep their head above water, and they will be in danger of sinking like a stone.
  16. a700hitter
    Lol! I agree. Kimmi presented Buchholz's xfip as evidence that his poor performance is enigmatic. After looking at the stat in the context of his career xfip numbers, I don't think his poor performance is enigmatic and it doesn't give me any hope for a big improvement in his performance unless we think a 4.75 to 5.50 ERA is a big improvement.

    Those optimists who mocked realistic projections of pitching failure (which are also turning out to be somewhat optimistic) will pack their camping equipment and take a hike from this place by the All Star Break. Lol!
  18. a700hitter
    His xfip to this date in 2015 is a full run lower than his career xfip. In 2014, his xfip came in at exactly his career mark and he put up a 5.34 ERA. Wouldn't his history suggest that his xfip is likely to normalize closer to his career mark? His current xfip is the lowest of his career by .40.
  19. a700hitter
    This is bizarre but true.
  20. a700hitter
    The problem was clearly Nieves. They said that he couldn't effectuate the change needed among the starters. Lol! What a bunch of tools! He was scapegoated because they built a garbage staff.
  21. a700hitter
    Miley's ERA plummeted to 6.91 tonight.
  22. a700hitter
    Farrell is the pitching coach and manager. He has too many jobs. Lol!
  23. a700hitter
    So, they haven't sucked up to this point, or you don't expect them to suck going forward or both? Also, what did Buchholz's numbers look like for 2014?
  24. a700hitter
    i am not looking forward to the West Coast trip. And we usually don't play well on the coast.
