NL Player Spotlight - April 20, 2007
April 20, 2007 | article by Lou Blasi in Player Commentary (2057)
On
the trick or treat scale that John
Patterson seems to be skipping around so far, this start
landed squarely in the "Trick" area. He allowed 3 runs, all
earned, in 4 IP on 7 hits and 4 walks while striking out just one. He
threw 47 strikes in 86 pitches and struggled the whole way. Even more
disturbing was his comments after the game. John said his arm was
tight. "It's not even close … I'm having to swallow a lot of
pride right now." Ok, that's good enough for me. Even after
two, lets say, decent outings, it is obvious he is not right and John
should be reserved until he proves he is seaworthy.
Jake Peavy was 2-
for -2 on Thursday with a double and a triple, raising his average to
.222 on the year. But that's not why we own him is it? He improved to
3-0 with a win over the Diamondbacks at Petco but the bottom line
wasn't pretty. Jake allowed 5 runs, 4 earned in 5.1 IP on 10 hits and 2
walks. There is some good news … 8 Ks for one
thing and the 4 scoreless innings he threw to start the game allowing
just 3 baserunners. Arizona got to him after that however. Beginning in
the 5th 9- of -11 hitters reached. Peavy speculated that he let down a
bit after the Padres scored 5 in the 3rd to open their lead to 7-0.
Maybe. We'll cut him some slack at 3-0, 2.13 on the year and just chalk
this up as an aggravation.
Noah Lowry is
starting to justify my severely tested faith in him. He posted his
third strong outing of the season on Thursday allowing the Cards 2 runs
over 7 IP on 4 hits, 2 walks and 4 Ks. The win only improves him to 1-2
because the Giants scored only once in his two previous starts. Noah's
2.70 ERA tells you how well he's pitched however. It looked like the
same deal yesterday for a while as the Cardinals scored in the top of
the 5th to make the score 2-0 before the Giants busted out for 5 runs
over the 5th and 6th. His 4.0 K/9 is not what you'd like it to be, and
neither is his 3.6/9 walk rate, but he's throwing ground balls and he's
only given up one HR. Noah has allowed just 15 hits which
keeps his WHIP at a very manageable 1.15. His .211 OBA will come up and
at that point there will be issues if he doesn't get more stingy with
his walks and his HR rate normalizes. The Dodgers are next at Chavez
Ravine so stay the course for now.
Here's
one for your league to fight over. A wild pitch charged to Dontrelle Willis on
Wednesday was reclassified as a passed ball. That converts one run that
Willis has allowed this year to an unearned run dropping his ERA from
5.25 to 4.88. Make sure your commissioner is on top of that one. He'll
love you for it!
The
Rick Vanden Hurk
experiment was given it's last rights last night. He allowed the Mets 8
earned runs in 4 IP on 7 hits, 2 walks and 6 Ks. That brings his ERA up
to 9.00 over 11 IP. It also brings his WHIP to 1.90 and his
walk rate to 4.9/9. Oh ya ... and with the two HRs he gave up, his HR
rate is now 2.4/9. The Marlins will probably stick with him another
turn or two, or until they just can't take it anymore. You don't have
to. Atlanta would be next.
How
good has Rich Hill
been this year? He threw 8 shutout innings at the Braves on Thursday
allowing 4 hits and a walk while striking out 7. One of those walks
came when Hill caught a cleat delivering the 4th ball. Rich improves to
3-0 and lowers his ERA to 0.41. Rich also got 10 GBOs too which is a
pretty good deal for a power pitcher. if you are scoring at home that
is 18 (one DP) of the 24 outs he got yesterday which were via the K or
a groundball. That's the way its done. His ERA over the two seasons and
this one has dropped from 9.13 to 4.17 to 0.41. That's pretty nice
progression. He won't pitch at this pace all year of course but there's
nothing fluky about this. Hill has matured into a legitimate front of
the rotation starter.
