Hoping for Some Better Starting Pitching? ... Well you are in Luck!!

[Bombers]

Wolf, Marcum and Greinke all seem to be slumping at the same time. Here are some pretty numbers:

1. Marcum

 

a. Has thrown 5 games this year with a 0 run outing (Last one was September 4^th).

 

b. Has pitched poorly in his last 5 of 6 games. 3 straight).

 

2. Wolf

 

a. Has thrown 5 games with a 0 run outing (Last one was August 15).

 

b. Has pitched poorly in his last 3 games.

 

3. Both Marcum and Wolf usually never went more than 2 bad outings back to back as they would then string together a bunch of good ones.

 

4. Greinke

 

a. Was lights out in the 2^nd half (had 2 games of 16 where he gave up more than 3 runs)

 

b. His ERA dropped from 5.66 on July 3^rd to 3.83 on his last outing of the year.

 

c. Greinke threw 2 games this year (both in the 2nd half) with zero runs given up. (Last one was July 27)

 

5. Yo:

 

a. Was straight filthy this year outside of April.

 

b. Yo also threw 5 games this year with zero runs given up. (Last one was August 30.)

 

So in short someone on this team is due to throw a gem of a game. (or atleast I am hoping.) I think they have shown all year, as a whole, they are pretty slump proof. It seemed to me 1 or 2 of them would have a bad start or two and then string a bunch of good ones in a row. Here’s to hoping Yo kicks off a run of quality outings starting tomorrow and maybe a few where they throw zero's! Go Brewers!
