W-L ERA WHIP K BB
2009 - Shairon Martis 5-1 5.31 1.42 27 27


Aaron Harang hates Shairon Martis.  I have no actual evidence to back this up, but I have a very strong suspicion that it is true.  Why, you ask?  Because despite having a 5.31 ERA and walking as many batters as he has struck out, Martis has a 5-1 record on a team that is 15-41.  Talk about a lucky sumbitch.

Actually, Martis hasn't pitched as poorly as his 5.31 ERA would indicate.  He's only given up more than 3 runs in 4 of his 11 starts this season.  It looks like Manny Acta has had a fairly quick hook with him as the 22-year old has only thrown over 90 pitches in 4 games this year.  Even with that quick hook, he's still averaging 5.2 innings a start, not bad for a kid his age.  As you'd expect this will be the first time the Reds have faced Martis.  That always turns out well.

Harang calmed some fears about his handling during the long rain delay a couple of weeks ago with an 8-inning complete game against the Cardinals in his last start.   He's been a bit too hittable so far this year, which is surprising given the improvement in defense the Reds have seen.  Then again, the defensive efficiency in his starts is the 2nd lowest in the NL.  That combined with his lack or run support makes me think the other Reds players really don't like Harang.  I can't wait until he's traded so everybody can act like they hated him all along!

Speaking of lack of run support, the offense is now batting a dandy .214/.295/.313 in June.  They have 7 sacrifice hits and only 5 home runs during the month, which is how they've been able to go 4-4 so far, obviously.  The only players with an OPS over .800 for the month are Laynce Nix and Brandon Phillips.  On the other hand, there are 4 players with at least 20 PA and an OPS of .515 or lower.  Help us, Joey-wan Votto-bi!  You're our only hope. 

Well, playing the Natinals should help too.

I grew up in Hawkeye country, and later moved to Indiana. Wanting an Indiana team to root for, I decided against Purdue and IU because they were both Big 10 teams, and ND was the logical choice. This was cemented by going to XU for college where roughly 50% of the population are ND fans.

Steve Rogers went to 5 All-Star games with the Expos. He never won 20 games. He won 19 in ‘82 but next closest high was 17 (’77 and ‘83). Lifetime ERA of 3.17. Lends credence to Gray’s hatred of the ‘win’ stat as something worth putting stock into.

Rogers is a perfect example of a good pitcher that got shitty run support.

Heck no!

How about a ground ball out on the first pitch instead?

Jay, Jay Jay Jay

swinging at the first pitch will get you 2 for 29, or whatever it was. Remember? It wasn’t long ago.

Fuck

The one thing I hate about Cordero is not that he’s hittable, it’s that he tries to get hitters to swing at pitches out of the strike zone BEFORE he’s ahead in the count.

by Brian B on Jun 10, 2009 9:28 PM EDT reply actions  

Mine, too.

Weird.

Let me write out a formal proof for you.

Walk

Now it’s a delay

Question

do you guys want another thread? Seems silly for 3 more outs, but Welsh says this rain could last a couple of hours.

I'm gonna go work on my paper.

Hopefully by the time I’m done in 2 days this game ends.

May as well!

Surely our grousing could fill it up.

Who knows, you might get it!

Dusty is a big fan of letting his guys pad their stats.
