WHIP is a misleading stat if you can't get anybody out once someone gets on base. That's been Reyes' problem this year, he has to figure out how to get himself out of trouble once he gets into trouble.
I didn't see last night's game, but it did sound like Reyes pitched well. Hopefully he'll be able to chalk this season up as a painful learning experience and come back strong for us next year. The WHIP does offer hope that the talent is there to be a pretty good starter.
I have watched every start of Reyes' this year. I chalk it up some big innings, and simply horrible luck. When I say horrible luck, I mean guys hitting good pitches, bloops, errors, seeing eye singles. I agree, he does need to do a better job of getting out of a 1 or 2 out jam with runners on. But more often then not, guys are hitting good pitches at the worst possible times. Hence the bloops, seeing eye singles.
For instance, he pitched great last night. He had them off balance all night. The only run he gave up was in the 7th, 2 outs, man on 3rd. I believe it was a 2 strike count, Reyes thows a breaking ball which would of bounced to Molina, Bard drops the bat at his ankles for a base hit to right.
Of course Peavy is an absolute stud, and I knew it was going to be tough. But we had plenty of chances and couldn't come up with anything.
