cubs v. cardinals, 9.25.10, or how saturday noon games kick my butt

3.28 ERA 5.02
3.70 FIP 4.70
3.75 xFIP 5.35
3.69 tERA 4.73
51.1% GB 51.0%
you know, i had high hopes for today, till i saw game time.
lineup
schu, 2b
jay, RF
pujols, 1b
holliday, LF
rasmus, CF
descalso, 3b
ryan, ss
anderson, c
carpenter, p
seeing anderson in the lineup gives me a little bit of hope.
i had been going to take a look at our bullpen as a whole and individually. the bullpen was a big concern for many, but has quietly done fine, though not great.
some quick and dirty stats:
in WAR, our bullpen ranks 16th among ML teams. i wonder how much of that is just a lack of innings, since we rank 7th overall in FIP (3.88). we are in the low-middle ranks for both WPA and WPA/LI.
our bullpen, individually has no real stars, but a bunch of solid performers. our best reliever by FIP is . . . aaron miles. then, jason motte (3.38 FIP, 9.24 K/9, 3.08 BB/9) comes closest to being a really solid reliever for the team. ryan franklin continues to be a hugely weird pitcher -- he's second among regular relievers with a 3.86 FIP, a low K rate (5.86 k/9) and even lower walk rate (1.17 bb.9). whatever franklin is doing, he's making it work.
boggs follows close behind (3.91 FIP), but doesn't have nearly the strikeouts you'd think a guy throwing 95, 96, 97 should (6.68). his walks are much better than earlier efforts -- 3.34 bb/9. salas follows him with a 4.02 FIP; he was actually the second-best on the relief corps for strikeouts after motte - 8.31 k/9, but he needs to work on his control -which had been a real talent of his in the minors - next season (3.81 bb/9). having an elevated walk rate in a rookie year seems to be pretty standard while making the big league adjustment. a little more experience, and he may be one of the best pieces in the bullpen.
k-mac was fine, with middle of the road stats. both our loogies came in a virtual tie for FIP - reyes at 4.15 and miller at 4.21. skip ottavino given his few performances. macdougal pulled out a better FIP than i would have thought (4.37), but that 5.74 bb/9 does not fly anywhere. hawksworth had a bad FIP (5.18), but a normal HR rate would shave that down a whole run (xFIP 4.12). i'm not sure that he's a longterm anything for st. louis, but we'll see what he looks like in spring training.

Waino had glowing review of "Pags", by the way.
in case anyone was holding out to the vain hope for less playing time.
Also, Evil Wainwright promises No More Mr. Nice Cardinals. ….for next year.

"We were men - flesh and blood - and we played baseball in the sunshine. We hit doubles off the wall, slid hard into second base. We had fights, and we made love. We sang songs and prayed on Sundays. . . . We felt pain. And we felt joy. There was a lot wrong with the world. But we weren't sad, man. We had the times of our lives." Buck O'Neil, from "The Soul of Baseball: A Road Trip Through Buck O'Neil's America."
Chapman throws hardest pitch ever recorded
That’s pretty cool. I wonder what the math is on how much faster a 105 mph pitch gets to you versus an average 92 mph fastball.
He’s going to justify that signing in about one year. He now wears the Strausberg crown of players people will buy a ticket to see. I laughed at Walt’s signing. I miss Walt.
Just win
i don't care if he throws 200 mph. if chapman doesn't become a starter, i doubt that contract becomes a win for the reds.

You don't think people will come out to see that even in relief?
I think they will. He’s going to be on ESPN every time he comes into the game from now on. Let’s see what happens - I just hope he doesn’t hurt his arm - that’s a rare talent.
Just win

No, the number is 3
Magic number will be 1 if Cards lose and Reds win today. Reds might actually win today, as Dusty finally grew a brain and took perhaps the worst hitter in the league in the past month (Brandon Phillips) out of the leadoff spot and dropped him to No. 7.
