Good defense for Jerome

[Docwaukee]

Aberration?

 

I think not. 

 

Pitches to contact.  Works quickly.  Doesn't shake off.  Doesn't nibble.

Blanton pitches to contact.

Blanton pitches to contact.

Laughed way harder than I should've at this.

[LAAMike]

This should have been his second win in a row.  Stupid Mike S pulling him after 74 pitches and no walks.  

[Tank]

50 ip, 86 hits

 

too crappy to make anyone happy

[Angel Oracle]

Too tanked to avoid getting tanked.

Back on subject, Williams should stay in the rotation indefinitely. Then the question begs, Hanson or Richards?

Blanton, lollollollollol

I'd like to see more of Hanson to make this decision. He pitched decently well although there was definitely some luck going on with him(below average WHIP, K/9, BB/9, H/9, HR/9). 

 

Richards actually has a better WHIP, K/9, BB/9, H/9 and HR/9 but his ERA is way higher. Baseball can be a funny game sometimes. I'd ride with Hanson and see how he continues with below average peripherals.

These numbers aren't going to last. I'd be amazed if he still has a below 4.00 ERA in August. 

 

That being said, he's keeping the ball down and getting a lot of double plays. I agree that his style happens to take advantage of our defensive abilities.

Forget ERA.

 

Richards allows fewer baserunners per inning. Give me him.

I can see both sides here. Richards is definitely getting some bad luck on his side. His numbers aren't as bad as they seem.
