Next closest is like 2.25 or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 His run support ranks something like 139 out of 145 qualified starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Lucia Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 10 starts, 17 runs. Lemme repeat that - 10 starts, 17 runs. The only starters with less: Volquez, Cashner (lol), Gonzalez, Liriano, Wood (NOT KERRY), Ross (Robbie). On a per nine basis, only Cashner, Wood, Liriano, and Ross have less. That's...depressing.

Tabe Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I've never seen a pitcher this good where his offense fails him this much. It's astounding. For a full season, there's a few guys that got killed by their offenses. Jim Abbott seemed to deal with that a lot, particularly in 1992 when he went 7-15 with a 2.77 ERA. Nolan Ryan is probably the most famous example of recent vintage - he had a great season in 1987, leading the league in ERA, K, K/9, ERA+, H/9, and generally being dominant. He finished with an 8-16 record, by far the worst-ever for an ERA champion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabe Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Sounds like Prince Fielder will be getting season ending neck surgery. Paging Kendrys Morales..... What they were saying last night on ESPN is that the Rangers have so many holes to fill that they may not bother filling this one (by picking up Morales, for example). I do wonder if the Tigers had a hint of something regarding Fielder before trading him. Or did he actually DO something to get hurt? Either way, I was ecstatic when the Tigers made the trade and this (very bad for Prince, obviously) news only reinforces that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's astounding.carlton's 1972 season for the Phillies?Found this on baseball reference https://www.lineupforms.com/best-bad-team-pitchers-of-all-time.html n 1972, Carlton had the bad team pitcher season all others are compared to. It was his first year with the hapless Phillies, and he learned early on if he was going to win a game he was going to have to finish it himself. Pitching primarily on three days rest, Lefty had 30 complete games, including three extra-inning efforts. That’s 346 innings total of 1.97 ERA pitching with a league leading 310 ks. His 27 wins were almost half of his team’s 59 total victories — the highest such percentage in modern baseball history — and earned him the National League Cy Young. The next winning-est pitcher on Philadelphia’s staff had seven victories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cristobal Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Kinda feel like Samardizjajazaia's due for some regression anyway. The Cubs offense, however, I expect to maintain it's high level of shittiness all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimLivingston Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 My former employers are in first place. This is awesome. If they can make a move for another starter, I don't know if anyone can actually overtake them with that offense. Oh, except for injuries. Damn it. Shark is being targeted by the Giants, but he won't get traded there unless Kyle Crick is involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimLivingston Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Also, on Carlton's '72 season, it should be noted that the 152 runs he got in his 41 starts came when he threw 346 1/3 INNINGS. He AVERAGED 8 1/3 innings per start. Shark has done his in 68 innings and is on pace for 210 or so. The ratio is 4 innings pitched to 1 run of support for him while Carlton is 2.28:1. Carlton, by all means, really HAD to throw nearly a complete game every time out in order to have one of the greatest statistical seasons of all time. So while Shark's luck is unbelievably bad, for Carlton's time (only a couple years after the mound was lowered) that was about as bad as it got.

Hamhock Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Some more 1972 Carlton fun: 9 of his 27 wins had final scores of 2-1, 2-0, or 1-0. In 5 of his 10 losses, the Phillies scored 1 or 0 runs. The other Phillies starting pitchers had records of: 2-15, 4-14, 4-10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
