It's almost the end of May. JV gives up 1ER, 3 hits and 1 BB in 6.0 IP. And both his ERA and WHIP for the season go up. Yeah. That a rough outing.

our rotation is so good that if one of them gives up 2-3 runs then it looks like a bad outing.

for real... last night at the game when Cole gave up the 2 run homer, the guy next to me said "wow he's having an off night"

if 6 IP 2 ER is an off night... then I think we will be alright

I texted this to my Rockies fan friend:

So Cole's start last night was pretty much single-handedly wrecked (relative term) by his brother-in-law. (Pun not intended)

We need to get him up with enough time before the deadline to see if he's ready. If he's not then we need to be prepared to add a bat potentially.

I was thinking about some of the great Verlander starts we've squandered this year and wanted to see how common it was for a pitcher to dominate so much in a loss.

As it turns out...not very common. Verlander has Games Scores of 90 & 86 this year in two of his losses. That puts him in the top 10 list of all time (as far as I can tell) when accounting for nine or fewer innings pitched (longer games give you the opportunity for higher scores).

I'm sourcing a blog that used Baseball Reference numbers. Since this was published, James Shields had a 94 in a nine inning loss & Rich Hill had a 91 in the same scenario.

On a side note, Gerrit Cole has the highest Game Score of the season with 100. He's one of only 9 pitchers to (ever) do so in 9 innings.

TLDR....pretty ****ing amazing pitching staff we have. Let's just spread the runs around a little better!

What the hell is Game Score anyway?

I thought the same thing, to be honest, we have just become so accustomed to just 1 or 0 runs being given up. Eventually this staff will go through a rough patch and be normal-like.

Class of 16.... but I graduated in May 2017. So when I made my Texags profile (junior year) I thought your class was whatever year you were going to graduate

I've tried to get my username changed to 16 but they haven't accepted my request
