Sunday in Seattle gave us a ‘case of the Mondays’ 07.26.10 at 11:01 am ET
By Gary Marbry

Three items from a disastrous Sunday in Seattle:

—————————————————————————————————————————–

* – The Red Sox have gone 18-125 (.144) against relief pitchers in 11 games since the end of the all-star break. That’s the lowest average in the majors in that span:

.144 – Boston Red Sox (18-125)
.176 – New York Mets (19-108)
.183 – Colorado Rockies (17-93)
.183 – Los Angeles Dodgers (11-120)

The lowest average against relievers in the AL (other than Boston) since the break has been Tampa Bay’s .205 mark.

—————————————————————————————————————————–

* – Evidence of Tito’s lack of confidence in the relief corps other than Bard and Papelbon:  Red Sox starters have thrown 110 or more pitches in 32 games this season. That’s the 2nd most in the AL this season and just one short of the number of times that they were pushed that far during all of 2009:

34 – Los Angeles Angels
32 – Boston Red Sox
28 – Texas Rangers
24 – New York Yankees

In 2008, Red Sox starters had only 21 such outings and in 2007 they had 35.

—————————————————————————————————————————–

* – Sunday’s meltdown by Okajima was the 11th time this season that a Red Sox reliever has pitched less than an inning and allowed 4 or more baserunners, the most in the AL:

11 – Boston Red Sox
10 – Texas Rangers
9 – Baltimore Orioles
8 – Toronto Blue Jays

The Yankees have the fewest such meltdowns this season, with 3.

    Hello I was digging for valuable information on inks for large format printers. Your site was listed on Yahoo in this category, you have an informative site.

    And pitching was supposed to be one of the best, turns out its one of the worst. How about fielding? Beltre and Scutaro two of the worst fielders in the game, over 30 errors. Robinson Cano of the Yankee one.

    That is the appropriate weblog for anybody who needs to search out out about this topic. You realize so much its nearly laborious to argue with you (not that I truly would need…HaHa). You definitely put a new spin on a subject thats been written about for years. Great stuff, just great!

    An interesting discussion is value comment. I believe that you should write more on this matter, it may not be a taboo topic but generally people are not sufficient to talk on such topics. To the next. Cheers
