Trenni sez: "CC, thank you so much for joining us."

I couldn’t agree more.

He's extremely quick and good.

Rusch vs. Sheets tomorrow says Bob

ESPN has Reynolds. Anyone know who is right? If it is Glendon I really like our chances. JDLR after that against Bush who is pitching a lot better.

I see so Glendon it is

I will be very disappointed if they lose tomorrow then.

from a notes thing in Rocky Mountain News

Rockies left-handed pitcher Glendon Rusch said he was told he will start Wednesday’s game against his former Milwaukee teammates. Rusch pitched for the Brewers during the 2002 and 2003 season

It was technically a Quality Start

but we need to see those BB numbers come down…..

by Brew Angel on Jul 8, 2008 10:18 PM CDT   0 recs

That hasn't been a problem for him at all recently

So unless it happens again in his next few starts I am not too concerned.

Seemed like a pretty tight strike zone as well.

by ol Pete on Jul 8, 2008 10:22 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

It better be Kendall wearing off on him and not Moises Alou.

by brewfan2 on Jul 8, 2008 10:41 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

No worries

He was overpitching a bit, as should be expected with the environment he suddenly found himself debuting in. I doubt Sabathia will give up 5 walks very often, and the fact that he got the win in the one game he did struggle with control bodes well.

3.00 ERA, quality start, win, can’t ask for much more than that.

Oh yeah

I agree that it bodes well for the future, considering that we won in a game where it appears he didn’t have his best stuff. I’m just looking forward to seeing the good stuff. Hopefully in his starts against the Cards and Cubs at the end of the month!

I give the Rockies hitters a lot of credit

CC was throwing a lot of nasty sliders that many of their players were just not swinging at. I expect that to change when they face teams that don’t have as good of eyes.

Jake Odorizzi

His first game is tomorrow, I just found out.

He's extremely quick and good.

by battlekow on Jul 8, 2008 10:21 PM CDT   0 recs

Is your source one of these guys again?

Anyway, I’ll be following that live box score. Odorizzi is the man.

From the Rocky Mountain News

Stat: 15 losses for the Rockies in 23 games at Miller Park (.348), lowest winning percentage of any National League team. Arizona is the second lowest at 9-16 (.360).

Since when does Mike Cameron not wear batting gloves?

Anyone else notice that lately? I just picked that out tonight.

Kendall

Is wearing off on him. Cameron is trying to up his KUG.

So here's the initial KUG formula, subject to revision:
Sacrifices+bunt hits + (singles/total hits) + delayed steals

divided by

Home runs + Errors

If you have anything to add, let me know. I’ll create an official KUG leaderboard one of these days.

Check out this article.

He's extremely quick and good.

by battlekow on Jul 8, 2008 10:44 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

I saw that

too bad the total data isn’t available, that’s an interesting stat for pitchers anyway.

Oh, and consider HBP added to the formula.

might be late to the party

but don’t forget this article

by jacob on Jul 9, 2008 12:00 AM CDT to parent up   0 recs

This article makes me think something should be included to take into account pitches seen after 2 strikes, i.e. balls, pitches fouled off, the batter “hanging in there”. The whole “fighting off a pitch” has a very gritty connotation to it. Essentially something that takes into account those 9 or so plus pitch at bats.

Hit by pitches, definitely

Ha!

I was going to write up an article during the all star break to pass some time. Should be slow news days right?

I found that Kendall does get HBP a lot, and his slugging – obp is scary close.
