Yesterday's Recap
Hurdle continues to mess with a lineup that actually scores run. Last night showed some promise. I believe Spilborghs and Barmes deserve to be in the everyday lineup. Bat Barmes second and drop Tulo to 7th until he finds his stroke. Good run scoring event last night at the Litter Box. Let's try to get one more, good matchup with Peavy and Francis going at it.
Stat of the Week
Game Score is a metric devised by Bill James to determine the strength of a pitcher in any particular baseball game. To determine a starting pitcher's game score:
Start with 50 points.
Add 1 point for each out recorded, so 3 points for every complete inning pitched.
Add 2 points for each inning completed after the 4th.
Add 1 point for each strikeout.
Subtract 2 points for each hit allowed.
Subtract 4 points for each earned run allowed.
Subtract 2 points for each unearned run allowed.
Subtract 1 point for each walk.
The highest game score for a nine inning game in the history of baseball was Kerry Wood's one-hit, no walk, 20-strikeout shutout performance for the Chicago Cubs against the Houston Astros on May 6, 1998. His game score was 105 (50 + 27 + 10 + 20 - 2). I have developed an alternative called EqGS+ which takes into account a pitcher's pitch count. The top 10 Rox Game Scores are below:

In the Top 50 game scores by Rox pitchers, Astacio has 17 of them followed by 7 for Jennings and 6 for Thomson. Just a thought but the Roxs need a flame thrower. We don't have a real stopper i.e. a K producer. Look at the World Series with Beckett...I mean we don't have pitcher who can hold his jock strap! Finesse is great but power stops hitters and wins games when they need winning!
