At least Silva is eating innings.
And by innings I mean chili dogs.

SCREW YOU, MY FRIEND DIED FROM EATING TOO MANY INNINGS
by seattlebruin on May 30, 2008 6:19 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
It's OK
the last thing he said to me was that they were delicious, run-free innings.
by seattlebruin on May 30, 2008 6:23 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
That's good to hear.
Because he if he actually died from eating too many chili dogs, he definitely wouldn’t have been run-free.

This comment from the MLB.com warm up info is great
“As a pitch-to-contact pitcher, he needs the defense to be at the top of its game when he pitches.” – On Carlos Silva.

The 4.79 K/9 scares me, and his strand rate is crazy high,

Dodgers offense finally showing up
This makes me happy.
I can’t believe how horrible the Dodgers are at hitting home runs.I thought for sure Kemp would provide some home run power and that Loney would be a bit better.
Jose Reyes has more homers than anyone on the Dodger though, what the hell is up with that?
The Dodgers could be a tough team to watch on offense for awhile given that most of their regulars are young kids, if none of them ever develops power…
Sorry my NL fandom kicked there for a moment.

It sure is great they traded Baek
for a sack of dirt. I mean, a capable, back-of-the-rotation starter for league minimum pay is significantly less valuable then a $40+ million groundball pitcher who can’t induce groundballs or strike anyone out. GO MARINERS!!!

Technically, ERA is fielding dependent
And the M’s defense is one of the worse, especially since Silva is a pitcher that relies on defense, so it is kind of their fault. Sorry, don’t mean to be too technical.
