Bronson Arroyo vs Braden Looper

Clear. Winds blowing from left to right field at 5-10 m.p.h. Game Time temperature: Around 75.

 

Complete Coverage >

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Bronson Arroyo 15-11 4.66 1.41 158 66

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Braden Looper 12-14 4.13 1.32 102 44

If Arroyo and Harang can manage to not suck over the next two days, the Reds will complete their first season with 4 starters making 25+ starts and having an ERA under 5.00 since 1992.  What's sad about that stat is that there are 10 teams that meet that qualification this season and 85 teams that have done it since the last time the Reds accomplished that feat.  Folks, we've seen some bad pitching here over the last decade+.

Looper has owned the Reds recently, going 3-1 with a 1.75 ERA over his last 5 starts against them.  He did however lose his last start against them as he surrendered 4 runs over 7 innings while Goodroyo only allowed 2 runs in 7 IP.  I'd like to see more of that tonight.

Only three more of these bad boys left!  Enjoy them while they're still here!

08 Starts

I read somewhere that when Pettyjohn starts Sunday it would be the 47th start by a rookie this season. Hopefully that experience will really start to pay off next season for Cueto. And I haven’t kicked Homer to the curb yet either. Hopefully next season is when the light goes on for the young man.

Nope

I’m watching Yankees-Red Sox. :)

Honestly, I am so sick of politics. And I really don’t think either candidate is talking about the important issues, or even has a clue what they are.

Ok, but what are the odds of having two men on third base with less than two outs

and only surrendering one run? For an inning with two triples, I’ll take that.

How’d we score that last run? Gameday says EdE singled, but was out at 1B.

Good news for battlekow and the Crew

The Brewers are winning and the Mets are losing (Philly is being rained out).

Ok Caleb

What are the odds of one guy having two triples in the same game?

by Brendanukkah on Sep 26, 2008 10:23 PM EDT   0 recs

What's the story with all these triples?

Are our outfielders misplaying them? Or are they legit hits, just falling in the right places?

by Brendanukkah on Sep 26, 2008 10:24 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

mostly hit in the right places
