June 20, 201213 yr Currently, Sox pitching is 2nd in AL in WHIP, 4th in (fewest) BB, 4th in K/BB, and 5th in K/9, yet 7th in (fewest) runs allowed. Is there anything to this, or am I just trying too hard to see the glass as half full?
June 20, 201213 yr Well, it's hard not to think that the pitchers are not getting adequate run support when our best pitcher gets one freaking run in his last two starts.
June 20, 201213 yr Author Yes, run support is an issue also, but what I'm saying is that the pitchers' stats seem to suggest that they're pitching better than what the number of runs allowed is showing.
June 20, 201213 yr The Sox had no luck last night. Think of the inning where the Cubs got their two runs. They had an error and then a ball skip off of the pitchers foot turn into runs, versus the Sox having plays like Castro's catch off of Alexei, and Darwin Barney's play against AJ.
June 20, 201213 yr no. they just have a s***ty offense behind them. unless you're humber or floyd, and you too are s***ty.
June 20, 201213 yr Well, I guess I see where you are coming from. Sorry, I mis-understood it at first. But, 7th fewest runs allowed still isn't too bad. I suppose you could expect it to be a bit better based on the other stats. However, are there some stats that hide the fact that Floyd and Humber have been pretty bad lately? Didn't both of them have high strikeout totals in games where they gave up a lot of runs? Plus, is the awesomeness of Peavy and Sale being overshadowed by the bad outings of their teammates?
