I didn't even know this was possible...

Bronson Arroyo had a negative gamescore (Bill James' gamescore) for his pitching performance yesterday. I honestly thought that was impossible. His line:

IP: 1

H: 11

R: 10

ER: 10

BB: 1

K: 1

HR: 3

Gamescore: -9

To put this into perspective Jeff Weaver's 2007 April 28th start (0.1 IP, 6 ER) had a gamescore of 12. That's probably the worst performance from a starting pitcher that I can think of. What about you guys? What's the worst start you can think of?

But the relief pitchers actually had to work for their pay for once

No they didn't.

The game was over at that point.

Just throw the ball and hope to make outs. I can do that.

Sorry, not used to this whole correct spelling business. I just got out for summer break and don’t want to even think about grammar or anything related to it.

If you don't read or type then you don't have to worry about grammar.

I think Jason Jennings was worse last year

0.2 IP, 11 R. Not sure what his gamescore was though, but I’m sure it’s close.

by patsfan on Jun 25, 2008 8:23 AM PDT reply actions

Holy shit.

You’re referring to this game. His game score was -11. Good god.

I remember that game

I was rooting like crazy for the Astros to overcome the 12-run deficit

by Graham MacAree on Jun 25, 2008 8:58 AM PDT up reply actions

Also amusing at first glance

Is that Jennings was pulled for Mark McLemore, who pitched 1.1 innings of relief. Not our Mark McLemore, but for a couple of seconds while I clicked through it was an amusing thought that he might still be out there as a 7 ERA pitcher :)
