Has anyone noticed the subpar pitching out of starters in the Series so far? Here's the game scores from each starter through Game Three:
Pitcher Game Score Game
Garcia (SEA) 56 1
Okane (RIV) 54 2
Bird (SEA) 44 2
Wheeler (RIV) 35 1
Icenhour (SEA) 31 3
Orozco (RIV) 29 3
Oofah, not a stellar start in the bunch. Garcia and Okane rate an 'acceptable' with a 56 and 54, respectively, but it's not Roger Clemens by any means.
So far the run differential slightly favors River Cities at 21-18. That's an average score of 7-6 over the three games.
Truly, a battle of offense so far. Who's going to get that one great performance out of a starting pitcher? Only the future will tell.
The sad thing, at least from my perspective, is that my pitching staff this year posted the best ERA+ (ERA relative to league) in SDMB OOTP history. The mark of 132 edged out the 2007 River Cities' squad who posted an ERA+ of 129.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, this year's River Cities squad had the best offense relative to league (R+ of 123) in SDMB OOTP history and that seems to be carrying the day. River Cities erased the previous mark of 121, held by 2007 Florida and 2004 Houston.
Awww, the Cup misses me. I'm touched.
