Around SBN: Purdue wins Paradise Jam Tournament 73-72

Game 84 Open Thread -- July 5, 2009

St. Louis Cardinals at Cincinnati Reds, Jul 5, 2009 1:10 PM EDT


 

Carpenter Arroyo
2.60 FIP 5.98 FIP

In Carp's last start, he was beat around pretty well, garnering a game score of 25 -- the only start of the season in which he's been below average. I'm looking for him to rebound today. He gets a lot of Ks and a lot of ground balls and pitched a complete game 3 hitter the last time he faced the Reds. I hope we don't need him to be that good today.

Arroyo's given up the most homers and earned runs in the majors this season. Both lefties and righties have slugging %s at .500 or better and he's actually been worse away from Great America Ballpark than he has at home. Amazingly, he's 8-7 -- more proof that a pitcher's wins or winning % are a useless method of analyzing a pitcher's performance.

pretty good choices

except hamilton and jeter (and actually jeter’s having a pretty good season so it’s not a bad one) – I’d say that’s not far off the ideal AL lineup.

I think the Monk hit the nail on the head.

While we’d all like to see Carp get the recognition, is there any of us that really want him to pitch in this game? Even if it’s just an inning…hell, especially if its just an inning. Personally, I don’t want him throwing one more pitch than necessary this season and even though “this one counts”, Carp"s right arm matters a hell of a lot more to me than this stupid game.

Don't like that the inning got Carps pitch count up

I think Bronson’s only thrown about 25 pitches so far.

Carp threw 20 that inning, I think.

but why didnt Ludiwck get credit for an RBI in the 5th inning?

you cant assume a double play, therefore he should get an RBI as if he grounded out.

what about if you hit a shallow fly, guy doesn't tag to run and then fielder throws it away?

the run scores on throwing error, not as a sacrifice from the original hit. I think the same applies here. If the error had been anything else, or they had been trying to put out anyone except the runner, it would’ve been an rbi. I think.

They ruled

That the error is what allowed the first runner to score on the play. If they’d ruled that the runner would have scored had the error not been committed, he would have gotten an RBI.
