    I really dont like Cliff laying Chalk on the road. I dislike road chalk period.

    Colorado looks to be your strongest play, Hammels is the real deal. Cain is only good at home.

    Hopefully someday you will realize that ERA and WHIP are more telling stats about the guys performance than W/L

    at San Diego on May 17th: 6 IP 2 ER TOOK THE LOSS
    at Oakland on May 22nd 8 IP 0 ER TOOK THE LOSS
    at Cincinnati on June 8th Complete game shutout GOT THE WIN
    at Toronto on June 19th 7.2 IP 3 ER TOOK THE LOSS

    In those 4 starts Matt Cains record is 1-3 But his ERA is around 1.5

    So the team doesnt score when he pitches?

    More reasons to stay away.

    some day you will learn that era is a very overrated stat, not saying anything about this game i dont lean one way or the other but era isnt the best judge of a pitcher....

    ERA And Whip are the best stats to judge a pitcher that we currently have.

    Trying to judge a pitchers performance based off W/L and run support is pure elementary and the most asinine thing I've read all day.

    proving that you know very little about baseball capping...w/l has nothing to do with it so before you call my post asinine and put words in my mouth do your homework, all i said was era is very overrated, and if you had a clue you would know what i mean....happy 4th!!!!!!!!!

    Mazzaro has been pretty decent lately which is all Carmona is IMO. Even pitching matchup and Oakland is the better team obviously. Getting +120 with the better team is what you want.

    I guess I'll weigh in on this subject. I like to use ERA and WHIP as how I judge the pitcher. However, I use wins and losses to judge how well the team plays behind the pitcher. Pretty standard answer but just thought I'd throw that out there.

    I said ERA and WHIP. Walks and hits allowed per Innings pitched. It obviously represents how many baserunners the pitcher typically allows. And even more important is how man Earned Runs he allows.

    Last I checked, whoever allows more runs loses the ballgame. If this has changed or there is a better stat to analyze a pitchers projected performance based on giving his team the best chance to win that none of us have heard of by all means please feel free to enlighten us.

    Of course you use ERA and WHIP to judge the pitcher. Anyone in their right mind who knows baseball does as well.

    i have no problem with era (love whip) but i like to use some metrics just to get a good feel if that era is accurate or is there luck involved and help me determine if a pitcher will continue to produce those numbers or is playing over his head.....

    st. louis r/l almost made my cut. i was very close to playing them. i think they have a very good shot at winning but i don't want to lay the price or the r/l, so they got nixed.

    and i'm already on the rockies.

    good luck to you.
