Why is Greg Maddux behind Rick Rueschel on the career FIP?Azubuike24;1796051 wrote:Tomlin has almost a 5 FIP, yet somehow has kept his ERA and WHIP extremely low. That's the definition of a guy pitching way above his head and advanced metrics.
Reminds me of Bronson Arroyo...but put him in any game that is meaningful or where the margin for error is slim, and I'm hating my chances.

...........I wonder what the record is for bases loaded walks, Ironman?
Napoli was walked and proceeded to walk his way around the bases to score.

You compared Josh Tomlin to Greg Maddux?Ironman92;1796057 wrote:Why is Greg Maddux behind Rick Rueschel on the career FIP?
Nope. Said enjoy it while we are winning. My surprised a month later you still weren't able to figure that out!Azubuike24;1796173 wrote:Reds are 10-23 with a -85 run differential since their miracle 5-1 start.
Although certain fans think we should just "enjoy the season."
The oldest level I ever saw that before was at the 8/9 yr old where the kids started pitching to themselves.iclfan2;1796099 wrote:The Reds pitching is bad. 4 straight walks with bases loaded and 2 outs

Not in any way shape or form and that is an incredible reach on your end.Azubuike24;1796172 wrote:You compared Josh Tomlin to Greg Maddux?
Tomlin has also pitched well-above his FIP for about 1.1 seasons. As I said earlier, Bronson Arroyo did it for almost 7 years. That could be a fair comparison to Tomlin, and is a loose way of proving that a guy "just knows how to pitch."Ironman92;1796219 wrote:Not in any way shape or form and that is an incredible reach on your end.
You said Tomblin was pitching above his metrics. Then as your evidence mentioned that his FIP is 5.0 yet he has a low ERA and WHIP and then you said that he was lucky.
I admit I am not greatly familiar of FIP but when I check out the career FIP I see Rick Reuschel above Greg Maddux. Then I asked you the question of why a lesser pitcher was ahead of one of the best ever in that stat that you used.

I still predicted that Tomlin wouldn't sustain this. From someone who watched him in Columbus many times, I'm surprised he's in a major league rotation, let alone doing as well as he is.
