Stat of the night - 4/2/08

How about those Tigers? The most potent lineup in the league? A threat to score a thousand runs?

They managed 3 hits tonight. Well, I shouldn't say "they". Hitters #2-8 were dominated. But at least give credit to Edgar Renteria for getting the job done as leadoff hitter, going 3-4, but getting stranded each time.

Honorable mentions go to:
  • Frankie Rodriguez. In an inning, he walked one and struck out one - in 10 pitches, 5 strikes. What pitch economy. Why throw a strike when you're just going to walk the guy? Why waste a pitch on the way to a K? It's all or nothing with Frankie.
  • Luis Vizcaino. Allowing 4 runs in .1 innings, for the leagues first triple digit ERA.

Addendum to the name game:
Rick VandenHurk must own the record for most letters before the 2nd capitalized letter.
