They've done well for years propping up guys who shouldn't do much

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Aug 16 '12, 14:47

Nova last year was like 16-4 with an ERA that shouldn't have done.

Chiein Meng-Wang was winning 19 games a year with ERAs around 3.25 it seemed every year.

This year they're carrying the team and are more than holding their own. The bats are suspect. -- nm - Krusty Aug 16, 14:51 10

    - your shitty hitters are tied for the league lead in OBP. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 16, 14:56 1
      - and in Slugging % and in OPS. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 16, 14:58
    - Have you looked at other teams lineups in the league? - groiny Aug 16, 14:54 5
      - I watch nearly every game. They rely on the home run and don't hit well with RISP. - Krusty Aug 16, 14:58 4
        
        I do not disagree with that assessment. - groiny Aug 16, 14:59 3
        
        Oh, I do. Other than CC, these aren't all star guys on the mound. Kuuroda has been much better than I expected. - Krusty Aug 16, 15:04 2
        
        when you lost Gardner, you guys are forced to out slug everyone. - groiny Aug 16, 15:06 1
        
        Ichiro changes the way we play when he's in the lineup. Similar style to Gardner but somehow walks even less. :-) -- nm - Krusty Aug 16, 15:26

- I ain't going to critique them; they're in first place. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 16, 15:02
- ERA is not ideal. Batting Average against is middle of the pack. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 16, 14:51 12

        listen to any analyst, they agree with me. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 16, 14:56 8

        I am just telling you based on watching and listening to the MLB network. - groiny Aug 16, 15:01 6

        which tells me, your perspective is tainted. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 16, 15:03 4

        and how did that work out for you? nm -- nm - groiny Aug 16, 15:09 2
