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.

I didn't spell anything wrong.
I just used the wrong word
Yeah, that’s the ticket.

They are the Red Sox. They would be looking at the naked pictures of the guy.
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.

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.

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 on Jun 25, 2008 8:58 AM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
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 :)
Free Stephen Awesome Strasburg!

Mike oquist posted a -21
In 1998, the A’s left him out there to give up 14 runs in five innings. A -21 is the worst game score in baseball history, by the way.

Some guy you may have heard of wrote something about it at fangraphs this morning.

Excuse my ignorance,
but is that the same Dave Cameron of USSM?
If it is, we have one of the most fortunate fanbases when it comes to solid baseball analysis. Which is ironic considering the piss-poor management we have running the Mariners.

It is.
And it’s not so much ironic as it is mortifying.

Cause and effect
Fans of competent teams are content to let the teams do the heavy analysis.

You could make an argument that the upsurge in
SABR minded blogs on Mariners baseball is related to the shittyness of Mariners baseball.
Fans are typically idiots.

He posted a K/9 rate of 9. That’s bitchin’.
