2k19: German Marquez

[cavebird]

My league uses K's instead of WHIP, so I should check my bias. In a WHIP league, I'd certainly downgrade him.

So true about Pedro Astacio - he'd give up a 479-foot bomb and go back to work on the next batter like nothing happened. I wish we could copy and paste his mental makeup into Jon Gray.

Can we do it retroactively to last year? I might have won my league. Astacio was just awesome.

[revo]

I'm passing on him. I look at Rockies pitchers like I do platoon hitters -- you may be forced to abandon half their starts.

His career stats:

Home
4.51 ERA
1.35 WHIP

Away
3.75 ERA
1.25 WHIP

He does strike out almost the same rate home or away, but still, he's killing your ratios with every home start (and not even really helping on the road). I'll let someone else enjoy this.

He's been as epically disastrous as advertised, today's 2 2/3 IP, 11 ER puke-job against the lowly Giants notwithstanding.

Home
7.07 ERA
1.70 WHIP

Away
3.33 ERA
0.90 WHIP

Marquez has gotten progressively worse each month. April looked a lot like 2018. But since then he's been bad

[Judge Jude]

some days you're the windshield, some days you're the bug dept:

got ramrodded with 11 ER, 25 H in 9 combined IP over the weekend at Coors by Roark and Mahle

today? so far 5 scoreless there from my Samardzija (get a blister, STAT!) and 8 for 11, 3 HR 9 RBI from my 3 Giants batters

up 6.5 pts off one game! (make it a full 7 pts once Jeff's W is tallied)

(make it a full 7 pts once Jeff's W is tallied)

Setup to perhaps the greatest jinx of all time....

[Judge Jude]

"the comeback from a 16-0 deficit started innocently enough....."

ok, finished this game 9 for 14, 3 HR, 11 RBI, 8 R (but no SB!)
also W, 2 ER, 6.6 IP, 4 H, 1 BB, 9 K

UPDATE: Rockies announcer actually just said, "the rally started so innocently..." as the leadoff Rockie got on in the 9th a 19-2 game. he stole my line

and this is only the first game of a doubleheader!
