Marte's ERA is nice. Vizcaino's is too.

And they're both higher than Boone Logan's

 

ERA is a deceiving stat fro relievers

Marte's ERA is nice because he allows inherited runners to score. How soon we forget. The few times I have seen him pitch he came in with runners on, let them score, and then got out of the inning.

 

Marte with RISP 5.40 ERA, with RISP 2/outs 9.00, w/ bases loaded 13.50

 

Good riddance.

Word. A guy could be allowing a s***load of inherited runs while keeping his ERA relatively low, but his WHIP ratio is gonna take a beating. BAA could be a little deceiving too because walks aren't taken into account. Walks are the biggest killer in baseball IMO, and WHIP almost always tells me the story. I can't really think of any exceptions.

After looking at the numbers, he only has 2 walks and 12 K's. Not bad. Looks like he has been giving up a lot of Sac flies.

Yeah, that ain't bad at all.

IMO a low WHIP is a must for a good reliever. Walks and hits are death when you come in with runners on.

In Damaso's last 7 appearances (6 2/3 innings pitched), he has a 0.00 ERA, 9 Ks, 1 BB, and 3 hits allowed. He's on one of his little hot streaks.

didn't he face the cubs in the last 7 :) . I hope all of our former players do well, that is the fun of this team, new year, new mission.

If his head is right, he is one of the most dominant relievers in the game. I am one of the few that really hated to see him go, but I think Mack will be a good player for the Sox. Marte did get a WS win.

How about an update on Shingoooooooooo ?

Exactly. Damaso is as mentally fragile as they come, but god damn is that guy gifted.

Sorry but I shat my pants every time we gave him the rock. He's a coin toss.

Yeah, but before that he was lights out.

When the pressure is off he is fine. When the pressure is on he is shaky at best.

I wish the best for Marte. But I don't miss him coming out of the Sox bullpen.

He's playing for the Yakult Swallows

Yeah, when he was on and had his head straight he could get anybody out with no problem.

I'd like to see all of them do well. I can't really recall the last Sox player that left that I wanted to see do poorly. I guess I'm indifferent on how Carl does.

Sox made right decision to let them all go, as far as Marte and Visciano era it is the NL no big shock to me.
