Name that ERA

[Three34]

All these pitchers have pitched on the Tampa Bay ballclub this year. The majority are still here.

Here are the ERA'S. Try and name the respective players without looking.

7.46
6.65
5.82
27.00
14.63
6.70
6.75
9.28
6.65
8.13
7.36
5.68
5.06
9.53
0.00



It's all gone a bit ri-God-damn-******'-diculous, this.

I'm kinda scared to think where this team would be without James Shields this year.

Still, at least Kazmir's getting it back......maybe.






MORE FUN PITCHING STATS:

Of the above, 9 remain on the active roster. All but 1 remain in the organisation.

The 5.06 is actually 5th best ERA on the entire staff, behind Kazmir, Shields, Reyes, and what little Salas did before his suspension. (Dohammn has a 4.50 ERA but that's just two innings).

Take away Shields and the team has a 321/550 BB/K ratio. Take away Kazmir too, and it's 258/422.

The Tampa team, before this double header (eep), has an ERA of 5.67. The next highest in all of baseball is 4.97.



It's, um........carnage.


And from now on I'm going to pretend that big numbers are GOOD things.

Heh, the 6.70 was Brian Stokes, but since I posted that, he's given up 5 more runs in 1 inning of work. He's now up to 7.54 in 45+ innings of work.

Good times.

When opposing teams bat .295 collectively and you walk 4+ batters every game.....then that's how we get a team ERA of 5.65.

Sad indeed.

As far as the indivual ERA's go, there isn't much point in guessing as their performances continually climb up that ERA ladder like a ping pong ball.
