Did You Hear the One About Jeff Suppan

PrintYou may know that for most of his career, Suppan has been at his best in April.
This is the problem with splits--you never know whether you're drawing the line in the right place.
In fact, all this time, Suppan has been at his best until April 29th.
Well, live and learn. He's also good in September. Or some substantial portion thereof.

Another fun useless number
Last season, Miller Park saw the most plate appearances by batters when their team was trailing with two outs in the ninth inning. 111 of them took place here in Milwaukee – Yankee Stadium was second with 105.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
Ugh
No L flag tonight. I’m sure the score was much closer than it looks. :)
OK, so Turnbow’s ERA is on the wrong side of 15, and Bush and Dillon (remember him?) are stuck in AAA. I don’t know when we officially chalk Turnbow up as yet another missed opportunity to sell high, but I’d have to think it’s soon. I’m not sure who we could trade him for.
McClung seems to like the long relief role - maybe that’s Derrick’s future as well.
Why did Marmol enter the game? Seems like an odd choice when you want to win the series tomorrow.
"I will agree that the attitude [at BCB] is ridiculous and they have done so much to instigate animosity and then block us from responding. Real mature!"
gawd no
I don’t even want to think of Derrick “I get gassed after 20 pitches” Turnbow as a long reliever. Somebody like Bush might be able to get rung up for four runs in the first inning and then proceed to throw shutout ball for five more innings, but I suspect Turnbow would see his ERA approach 30 if you tried to have him go long.
Then we're agreed
Let’s make him a starter! :)

potential record for Turnbow to go for...
Most appearances in a season with an ERA that was even larger than that number of appearances: Vladimir Nunez for the Marlins in 2003. 14 games, 16.03 ERA.
We should trade for him.

I've got a
broken down lawn mower if your interested in a trade. What do ya say?
The Wallbangers won because they played the game like kids! Let's do that again!!!
He could do your cooking.

or he could be your butler.
Also, cheese.

2003 was the first year I played fantasy baseball
and since Nunez saved 20 games the year before, Yahoo’s autodrafter (it sucked as much then as it does now) picked him for my team in about the 8th round.
The rest is history. (At least until Turnbow breaks the record.)
Also, cheese.

He's almost a long reliever now
He threw 43 pitches last nite. That’s three innings work for a decent pitcher. Now we just need him to be decent and we have a long reliever. It’s a simple plan that I think Nedley can have completed by lunch tomorrow.

Lou..
wanted to give Marmol a little work so he wouldn’t be brought into a tight game not having pitched in a few days…
"The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball"
i’d still rather see bush in the long relief role than mcclung. but that’s just me
of course, having turnbow on the team over either one of them makes the least sense of all
