Looking at the Game of Baseball from all ends of the Spectrum
Joe Blanton, Oakland Athletics 1/3 IP, 6 H, 8 R, 7 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, 0 HR Blanton is now 0-5 with a 6.55 ERA. I was going to start out with the obligatory “he didn’t have his stuff this game” but maybe he just doesn’t have his stuff this season. Don’t look at … Continue reading “5/25 Linescore of the Day”

1/3 IP, 6 H, 8 R, 7 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, 0 HR
Blanton is now 0-5 with a 6.55 ERA. I was going to start out with the obligatory “he didn’t have his stuff this game” but maybe he just doesn’t have his stuff this season.
Don’t look at his BB/K ratio to justify him either. It’s 20/13.
Reed Johnson, Toronto Blue Jays 2 for 5, 2 HR, 2 runs, 5 rbis Reed Johnson tripled his homerun total today. Also, kudos to Tuesday’s LSOTD Carlos Lee who turned it around and went 2 for 4 with 4 rbis.

Carlos Lee, Milwaukee Brewers 0 for 5, 1 BB, 2 K, 7 LOB When your cleanup hitter goes 0 for 5 and leaves 7 on base, you ain’t gonna win.

Keith Ginter, Oakland Athletics 1 for 1, HR, 1 run, 5 rbis Ok, I defy you to find a linescore like this in recent history! For those wondering, this comes thanks to two sac flies and a 3-run homer.

Joe Mays, Minnesota Twins 9 IP, 7 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K Somebody out there joked that the Twins management must be fining the Twins pitchers for every walk they issue but I’m starting to believe it. Let’s take another look: In 39 games, the Twins have allowed 56 walks. That … Continue reading “5/19 Linescore of the Day”
Joe Mays, Minnesota Twins
9 IP, 7 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K
Somebody out there joked that the Twins management must be fining the Twins pitchers for every walk they issue but I’m starting to believe it. Let’s take another look:
In 39 games, the Twins have allowed 56 walks. That works out to 1.44 BB/9 IP for the entire team.
To put it in perspective, the Yankees are in a distant second place with 98 (2.44 BB/9 IP). Colorado is last with 188 walks (5.12).
Sean Casey, Cincinnati Reds 5 for 5, 2B, HR, 2 runs, 4 rbis Unfortunately for the Reds, Casey’s performance was for naught as the Mets won 10-6.

a few Dodgers could have qualified for the LSOTD yesterday. Kent had 3 hits and 4 rbis and Saenz had 3 hits and 5 rbis. But nothing stands out like a 5 in the “H” column.
Interestingly, Cesar was taken out for Oscar Robles, who I mentioned a couple days ago. Is Robles a defensive whiz?
Kevin Mench, Texas Rangers 2 for 5, 2 HR, 2 runs, 2 rbis Two solo homers for Kevin made the difference in the 7-6 win over the White Sox.
