Without a doubt, Cincinnati's starters have turned in some better performances over the past few weeks. However, one prominent problem remains, as seen in Volquez's start last night. The entire staff has seen a jump in walks, from 3.2 per 9 innings in 2010 to 3.6 per 9 this season.
The worst offenders in 2010:
Volquez 5.0 per 9
Cordero 4.5
Masset 3.9
And in 2011:
Volquez 6.1 per 9 (wow)
Masset 4.7
Bray 3.5
One very positive thing from last night was Sam LeCure's (what else is new?) excellent outing. He came in with 2 RISP and 1 out, and got a K swinging, IBB and K looking. Followed up with a 1-2-3 inning.
The best Reds relievers at stranding inherited runners in 2010:
Rhodes - 14% scored
Ondrusek - 27%
Herrera - 28%
Masset - 28%
Bray - 29%
And in 2011:
Bray - 13% scored (3 of 24)
Arredondo - 14% (1 of 7)
LeCure - 17% (1 of 6)
Horst - 25% (1 of 4)
League average for this stat is about 31%
