Jeremy Sowers might be the only pitcher in major league baseball that makes everyone nervous by starting a game with two perfect innings. If he goes three, we’re doomed.

OPS+ against by inning:

1st 47 (“alright good start Jeremy”)
2nd 32 (“great, great. fooling the big bats, just stay calm”)
3rd 65 (“still cruising, controlling the damage”)
4th 69 (“I’ve got it. Finally solved the puzzle. I am Jeremy! Too smart for this game”)
5th 174 (“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”)
6th 166 (“This damn game! I hate this game. I hate this friggin’ game! Stupid game.” /throws glove in dumpster)

Sowers was probably a beast in little league. Four innings and turn it over to the pen.

Awesome. I once finished an IM soccer game, walked off the field, and threw away my cheap cleats.

by dgcambridge on Sep 4, 2009 7:38 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

My biggest question isn’t how he becomes so easy to hit, it is how can he continue to be effective 1-4.. is it more of a drop off in performance than learning his approach? Because if it was just learning his approach you would think teams would know now going in. Then again, maybe they just don’t care to study it, because they know they’ll figure it out in time to score 6-7 anyway.

Traded straight up for Ricardo Rodriguez. Yeah, that one.

I would say Detroit is running away with the division, but it’s really the rest of the division running away from Detroit.

I would run away from Detroit too if I were them.

I was talking with a coworker and a Study Director today about where to find jobs in our field, since Cleveland is losing them at record pace. Coworker didn’t want to look too far from Cleveland in case she needed to drive back for family issues, so I said “Columbus, Cincinnati, Indianapolis… maybe Detroit” and the SD cut me off and said “Detroit’s a shithole. Don’t go there”.

I applauded him.

My parents like to make cracks about how bad crime is in Cleveland, but the last rating I saw had Cleveland down near 25 on violent crime and St. Louis at 4.

Detroit is 2.

In Cleveland the criminals go out looking for people to rob, but the streets are empty.

We dropped? Darn it! That was my claim to fame. I come from the second most dengerous city in the US.

Kerry Wood with “four plus pitches”.

No good swings against Wood. No errors. No bad baserunning. No walks for Sowers. Some nights…
