That would be a great find ... plenty of Tigers relievers on that list...
I understand if a pitcher allows runners on base and a reliever comes in and gives up a hit to Score those guy the original pitcher gets hit with the runs .... not sure I agree with that, but they have been doing that for as long as I can remember.
I think there should be a Stat for inherited runners that scored.
did you see that Collision in the Double A Playoffs http://deadspin.com/minor-league-catcher-hospitalized-after-brutal-home-pla-1264705588
He gave up six runs on just three hits tonight and only one was a homer. He walked six and four of them scored. That's two poor starts in a row. Not only is Buchholz coming back Tuesday, the Red Sox have I think three more off-days left, so Doubront is now a strong candidate to move into the bullpen.
Yep, it looks like he'll join Dempster in the bullpen come playoff time (assuming there's no 2011esque collapse). If the Sox hang on and win the division, I now think the rotation should be Lester/Peavy/Lackey/Buchholz (assuming he's healthy).
As you may recall, the Red Sox were on the verge of giving Mike Napoli a contract like Shane Victorino's, for $13 million a year for three years, when a doctor discovered some kind of degenerative hip problem for which there can be no remedy, but the time frame of that imminent deterioration cannot be reliably estimated, so they signed him up for one year with a $5 million base and participation incentives that could enable him to make as much as $13 million. Napoli has already earned $11 million of that, and while he is just about on pace to lock up another million for 575 plate appearances, there is an override that says if he is "available" for 165 days, he gets the whole amount, and while available was not defined in the article where I read of it, I'd say that a player is available as long as he is not on the DL, suspended, or on team approved personal leave, so Napoli gets the whole $13 million.
Was/is he worth it? He sure looked like he was in April when he had 27 RBI in 26 games, but he has been a strike-out prone slug since then, with just 10 to 13 RBI a month. Is a win in April worth as much as a win down the stretch? I guess so, but still, one hot month does not make a $13 million ballplayer. So far he is hitting about .500 for September, so maybe he can have a bookend season.
While Napoli's numbers are a disappointment to most, I see that he already has reached career season totals for at-bats, plate appearances, hits, doubles, triples and RBI. I think someone in the Red Sox front office was really looking at Napoli through rose colored glasses when they offered him $13 x 3, but $13 x 1 was not such a bad riverboat gamble, because if he ends this season like he started it, the Red Sox will have about broken even.

Can I say: Holy sh*t! without violating any forum rules?
Code:

BOS 0 1 0 1 1 0 5 4 0 12 15 0
NYY 2 2 0 2 2 0 0 0 8 7 0
There are no words for what this guy has meant to this team, but why pitch him tonight with a 4 run lead?
Something special going on by a pitcher in SF pitching for the first time this year.
Perfect through 7 innings.
