Maroth to see doctor

[The Ginger Kid]

Apparently he's been battling elbow problems again.

not a good sign going into the stretch they've got over the next 13 games...

[DBAHO]

That would explain his bad start the other day.

 

Will be interesting to see what happens if he is injured for a fair period of time. They've got Ledezma down in AAA IIRC, and Roman Colon who's started a couple of games before. Could hurt their bullpen a little as well if they do decide to go to Colon to fill in.

Dmitri Young and Maroth go down. It will be interesting to see how Detroit responds to this.

This is Maroth's line from yesterday per rotoworld. I'm fairly sure his ERA was not 540.00.

Isnt his ERA 6(runs) x 3(outs) x 9(innings) = 162.00 ERA?

Losing Dmitri is actually a positive. They've essentially been without DaMeat since the start of the season.

 

He's done nothing thus far this year.

 

Maroth will be a significant loss though if he's out for an extended period of time. That said, Ramon Colon looked pretty good yesterday filling in for Mike who couldn't even last past the first out of the first inning.

It's always impressive to shut down the Royals offense.

[Kyyle23]

Who have the Tigers recorded all of thier shutouts against?

 

TEX(4/08) 7-0

CLE(4/16) 1-0

SEA(4/22) 2-0

It's official, Maroth to the DL, they're recalling Spurling. Grilli will get the starts, Leyland wants to keep Colon in the pen.

[JackTalkThai]

That's true.

 

It all might be moot as I've heard that Leyland doesn't want to mess with the bullpen's rhythm by promoting anyone from within to a starter's role meaning that Maroth's eventual replacement will more than likely be coming from the minors.

 

If that's true, it means the 5th starter is either going to be Jordan Tata, Zach Miner or Wilfredo Ledezma.

 

I personally think Roman Colon would be the best choice though.

The shutout against Texas isnt all that easy they have a good hitting team.

 

Tigers staff isnt all that impressive.

Just a bunch of 4 plus career era pitchers who are exceeding expectations. Except for Rogers and Verlander. They will slow down and they do have some injury prone players on their team im not all that worried, Im glad they are beating up on Cleveland who I expect to eventually come down to earth and catch us.

It was also at the very beginning of the year, when Tex was ice cold and Menchie was wearing the wrong shoes.

[Yoda]

This could be the sign of something for the Tigers. A bad sign. I don't like to see guys go down even if their team is in our division, but this just goes to show which players will be able to stay healthy down the stretch. Baseball season is long and tiring and some guys wear down early.

It's funny how the same guys that say Maroth is a poor pitcher who will fall back to earth, also think his loss will devastate the Tigers.

Isnt his ERA 6(runs) x 3(outs) x 9(innings) = 162.00 ERA?

I thought it was 6(runs) x 9(innings) = 54.00 ERA?

[Kyyle23]

I thought it was 6(runs) x 9(innings) = 54.00 ERA?

 

well, he only recorded one out in the inning, so theoretically he would have 6 runs per out.

 

6(runs) x 3(outs) x 9(innings)=162 ERA

 

If im wrong and someone knows it, please correct me. This is how I thought it went.

ERA:

(earned runs x 9) divided by innings pitched

 

In this case (6 x 9) / 1/3= 162.00

[witesoxfan]

ER*9/IP

 

6 * 9 = 54

 

54/0.3(1/3 of an inning) = 180

[whitesoxfan99]

ER*9/IP

 

6 * 9 = 54

 

54/0.3(1/3 of an inning) = 180

 

Try Again

 

Hint: 1/3 does not equal .3

[WCSox]

Try Again

 

Hint: 1/3 does not equal .3

 

That is correct.

 

An easier way to remember is that it's the amount of earned runs per 9 IP. To solve, set up a ratio of: (earned runs/IP) = (x/9 innings). Solve for x.

6(runs) x 3(outs) x 9(innings)=162 ERA

You are correct sir. I can't think of a reason why rotoworld would f*** it up that bad. He would have had to give up 20 runs in 1/3 of an inning to have a 540 ERA. Maybe they did "The Critc" style and moved the decimal place one to the right?

Maroth to undergo arthroscopic surgery

 

Mike Maroth will undergo arthroscopic surgery Friday to remove bone chips in his left elbow, dealing a major blow to the Tigers' rotation.

 

The bone chips were discovered during tests conducted Wednesday by Angels team physician Dr. Lewis Yocum. Maroth met with Yocum to try to find the source of inflammation in his elbow that had been bothering him off and on since Spring Training and flared up again last week at Kansas City.

 

The Tigers won't release a timetable until after the surgery. However, it's expected the procedure will keep Maroth out of action until at least late July. Yankees pitcher Carl Pavano underwent similar surgery last week and isn't expected to resume a throwing program for at least six weeks. Others have come back sooner.

 

Someone want to update the title of this thread?
