June 15, 201015 yr found this interesting. Jake has a 5.62ERA currently. On the Sox there are 6 other pitchers who have an ERA either 1 run lower or higher than him. (actually only Floyd is higher with a 5.64) Of these 7 guys, 5 of which have lower ERA's than Peavy... Jake has the best WHIP Jake has the best BAA In fact, Jake has the 2nd best WHIP for the starters (behind Danks) and the 2nd best BAA for the starters too. (Danks again) So do the numbers lie or has Peavy been the 2nd best starter for the Sox, behind Danks?
June 15, 201015 yr Without looking at numbers, I would be willing to bet that Peavy leads the team in HR allowed, which is a pretty easy way to jack up your ERA without hurting your BAA or WHIP that much.
June 15, 201015 yr His FIP is at 4.45 and an xFIP of 4.24. That's the best indicator of future success and according to those numbers you're going to see that ERA come WAY down as the year goes on. The best outlook is Gavin Floyd: 3.80 FIP and 3.97 xFIP. There's been a lot of bad luck with our starters this season, we should be in for a big hot streak.

June 15, 201015 yr Not when you've only got two legitimate hitters in the lineup. Yup, and if we don´t improve our scoring with RISP when these guys pitch well it really won´t matter.

Buehrle and Garcia are performing more or less at the level they should be so I wouldn't exactly say the pitching is set for a "big hot streak".

Buehrle and Garcia are performing more or less at the level they should be so I wouldn't exactly say the pitching is set for a "big hot streak". Buehrle's xFIP is in the low 4s and Garcia's is 4.8. Buehrle's going to end up with a ERA near 4 at the end and Garcia seems to be a 4.8 ERA guy. Peavy and Floyd have a lot left in them IMO. And with our hitters hitting like such crap, it's only normal that they would start hitting better down the line or progression to the mean.
June 16, 201015 yr Uh, oh. Cowley says that Peavy is having some arm issues. Seem like he may just get pushed back to Friday, so maybe not that serious. Edited June 16, 201015 yr by jamesdiego
