Scherzer is 2nd in the MLB in K's this season but a terrible start to the season makes his numbers look horrible. And hey anyone who's hitting close to .300 is a solid bat
Yeah, the Yankees really roughed him up last night didn't they?Crimson streak;1242491 wrote:Lol ok he is 2nd in strike outs, who cares he has an era of 4.72. Fister hasn't been too bad and porcello is trash

6th out of 14 is nothing special. Verlander is amazing and the rest are no better than slightly above average.fortfan;1242532 wrote:The Tigers as a team are 6th in the AL in ERA. Pretty good then since everybody but Verlander sucks.
Right off the top of my head I know that the Reds' starters are all below 4.51fortfan;1242546 wrote:Highest era of the 5 starters is Scherzer's 4.72. I bet you won't find many teams with 5 starters below that.

It's not that impressive
Sure I did. I follow them pretty closely, so it's pretty easy to remember the highest ERA when all 5 starters have started every game this season.karen lotz;1242982 wrote:Off the top of your head you knew the highest starter's ERA was exactly 4.51? You must be an idiot savant.
And the Pirates' worst is 4.53. Unless you count Charlie Morton, who's at 4.65, but hasn't pitched in a couple months and is out the rest of the year.SportsAndLady;1242940 wrote:Right off the top of my head I know that the Reds' starters are all below 4.51

So either the Pirates and Reds are amazing or that 4.72 isn't THAT awesome for a #5.
Exactly. Pittsburgh's guy with the 4.51 is Eric Bedard. Who is tied for the MLB lead in losses with 12. Despite being on one of the best teams in baseball so far. So, 4.72 doesn't impress me in a "our worst ERA starter is still good" fashion or any other.Laley23;1243194 wrote:In a couple year span when top guys are going sub 3.00, dont tell me an ERA near 5 is good lol. That is horrible.
That puts Scherzer at 81st in the MLB in ERA, among those who have enough innings to qualify.
