Sean Marshall vs Aaron Harang

 

Complete Coverage >

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Sean Marshall 3-4 4.03 1.25 45 15

W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2008 - Aaron Harang 4-15 5.24 1.44 132 43

The Reds close out their second-to-last home stand this year while sitting in second-to-last place in the Central division.  Aaron Harang has been the least supported Reds starter this season.  The offense has scored more than 4 runs only 4 times when Harang was on the mound.  By comparison, Bronson Arroyo has gotten that much support in 16 of his starts and Edinson Volquez has gotten more than 4 runs of support in 18 starts. 

But Harang is not completely innocent.  He's definitely having his worst season as a Red, but what's dissappointing is that there is a clear delineation on his performance.  Before his relief appearance in San Diego, Harang was just 2-6, but his ERA was 3.50 and his WHIP was 1.22.  In the 10 games following his 4 innings of relief, he went 1-7 with a 9.06 ERA with a 1.90 WHIP.  He's improved a bit over his last 3 starts, but he's still given up 5 HRs in just 19 innings. 

It'd be nice if the Reds could score some runs off of Marshall and make Harang's appearance a footnote, but it sure would be great to see Harang dominate for a few starts to end the season (if he's going to continue to pitch).

Reds game I can’t watch, or Bengals game I can’t watch. Which do I follow?

That's a good question

We have Jets and Dolphins and somebody vs. somebody else. Then the Browns game in the afternoon.

Jets and Dolphins?

that’s just terrible.

You can’t watch the Ravens game, but I bet you are in the market that is subject to blackout rules

I just looked at the TV distribution map

They’re showing Bengals-Ravens in eastern Maryland (natch), but not in Northern Virginia. It’s like a 30 mile difference at most, but everyone starts caring about the Favre-Pennington grudge match at the state line.

Personally, I just hope Lavernaeus Coles is playing and healthy enough to catch a touchdown or two.

If I wanna see two ‘roided out dudes in a street fight, I’ll head to a downtown club one Saturday night. :)

Of course all that MMA stuff doesn’t have the corruption that boxing does (yet), so there’s that.

It was in HD before (at least on TW)

But it wasn’t “real” HD, it was being upconverted

i hope he dies from complications at the hospital.

So, um.

Was an 0-for-4 (with a walk) night for Dickerson reason enough for Dusty to sit him in favor of Patterson?
