Gorzo's ERA and WHIP aren't jiving......which one is the outlier?

Didn't he have similar results early in the year while pitching for the Pirates (high ERA and average/low WHIP)? It's weird to have a WHIP that low and an ERA that high. He's not allowing a high amount of guys on base so one of two things is happening either he doesn't allow anyone to reach base most of the game and has 1-2 bad innings where 3-5 guys reach and score, or he does a poor job of keeping guys from scoring when they do reach base.

His FIP as a Cub is 4.17 entering today.

Fielding Independent Pitching. aka what a pitcher's ERA should be if you didn't take fielding into account (only things the pitcher can control - HBP, BB, HR, IBB and K's)

[illiniguy]

After walking two straight hitters to load the bases, you have to love your pitcher swinging at all three pitches he sees.

[UMFan83]

Good time to see if we are improved over the rest of the season. Because we all know how the April-August Cubs would do in this situation... (loaded, 0 outs)

[UMFan83]

And they did...2-0 Cubs

[Schwarber Fan]

Oh what could have been...

[illiniguy]

Take a pitch moron. :banghead:

[BCVM22]

Soooooo bad.

[UMFan83]

That wasn't very Taguchi

[UMFan83]

They just said on Fox that "the story for the Cubs all year" has been "miscommunication" Umm ok

[illiniguy]

Walk a few more guys Tom.

[BCVM22]

If Rammy hasn't been allow into the BMF club yet, he ought to be soon.

It is really a coincedence that the team is winning w/o Sori and Milton! Who would have figured? :shock:

Yeah what bums those guys have been in their careers.

I see your point. In his 9year career Sori DID bat .300 once, and drive in 100 runs twice. He hit a lot of HR's and only struck out 130 times a year.

 

And he was not the worst outfielder in the league either. I hope he comes back next year. I miss his classy GW hit trots.

Really batting average and rbis are what your gauging his career on? Awesome. I hope he comes back too because as hard as Sam Fuld plays, he still sucks big time and if we lose Sori and Bradley pencil us in for about 65 wins.

[BCVM22]

the hell happened there

I understand your feelings on this thing. I just don't think the team likes the idea that 2 guys that can't even spell clutch make 5 times the money they do.

 

I grant that Milton has NOT been horrible. (between the lines)
