Red Sox starting pitchers on historic run - 美國職棒

It might be time to dust off that 1918 chant. Only this time, Boston Red Sox
fans can provide the soundtrack.

You have to go back that far to find the last time the starting rotation was
this dominant over a nine-game stretch.

Since April 16, Boston’s starting pitchers have combined for a 0.88 ERA.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, that’s the lowest ERA for the Red Sox
rotation over any nine-game span since July 1918 (0.84).

On the way to a World Series title, that 1918 Red Sox pitching staff posted a
2.31 ERA. Carl Mays (2.21 ERA), Bullet Joe Bush (2.11) and Sad Sam Jones
(2.25) anchored a rotation that also included a 23-year-old left-hander named
Babe Ruth (2.22).

It’s always good for a pitching staff to draw comparisons to the dead-ball
era. The league ERA in 1918 was 2.77, compared with 3.95 thus far in 2011.

Just how different were things offensively 93 years ago? Ruth led the Red Sox
with 11 home runs. The rest of the team combined for four.

我們襪子的先發正在寫歷史

最近九場的表現(ERA0.88) 在紅襪史上 只有1918年的投手群(ERA0.84)能夠媲美

別忘了 1918年 還是死球時代的時候(聯盟ERA 2.77)

更證明最近襪子的投手群多麼火(2011 聯盟ERA 3.95)

Back to the present day though, where the rotation’s current stretch of
dominance is all the more improbable given what preceded it.

Entering this nine-game stretch, the rotation had a 6.71 ERA through 12
games. But after allowing just six earned runs over their last 61 1/3
innings, Red Sox starters have chopped nearly three runs off their ERA. Their
3.84 ERA now ranks sixth in the American League.

Last season, the fewest earned runs allowed by the starters over nine games
was 13, more than twice the total (six) since April 16.

在這九場比賽之前 的12場 先發 ERA高達天殺的6.71

但接下來61 1/3局中只丟了僅僅六分

使得現在先發ERA幾乎減半到了3.84 排名美聯第六

上個球季九場比賽丟最少分數為 13

Opponents hit .317 with runners in scoring position against Red Sox starters
in the first 12 games of 2011. Since then? Just .030.

On April 16, Josh Beckett allowed a single to Travis Snider with a man on
second. Since then, opponents are 0-for-32 with RISP against Red Sox
starters.

In all, opponents are hitting .159 with a .455 OPS against Red Sox starters
since April 16. (Amazingly, the Marlins’ rotation has held opponents to a
.152 average in the same span, albeit in two fewer games.)

在前12場比賽 襪子的先發 讓對手在得點圈有人時 為所欲為

高達.317的被打擊率 接下來九場就發生很神奇的事了 這項數據低達.030

自從4/16北極丟的那一分以後

接下來襪子的先發 讓對方在得點圈的打擊 為 0-32

總和來看自4/16以來襪子的先發僅僅讓對方只有

.159AVG .455OPS (在同段時間馬大魚的輪值讓對手只有.152的打率Amazing!)

Just how much longer can Red Sox starters pitch like it's 1918?

Tuesday’s series opener against the Orioles sets up nicely for the hot
stretch to continue.

Baltimore didn’t score a run in 15 innings against Clay Buchholz in 2010. In
all, he is 5-2 with a 2.98 ERA in his career against the Orioles. That
includes his 2007 no-hitter and shutout in 2010.

究竟 襪子的先發能夠高潮多久

接下來對上今年大換血的金鳥

巴扣子一向對他們投得很不錯

生涯5W-2L 2.98ERA 還有07年的無安打 10年的完封

Let's Go RedSox!
