Maddux to the Dodgers.

hmy:

I hope Maddux gives up at least 6 runs every time he steps on the mound.

 

Dont have the numbers on me, but outside of that pitching heaven PETCO, Maddux had a ERA in the 6-7's if I am not mistaken so I dont expect this reunion to go so well for LAD.

 

Well, Dodger Stadium is pretty much just as much of a pitcher's park, so his overall numbers probably won't change very much (PETCO's home/away run ratio is .766, Dodger Stadium's is .770). That's all a wash anyway, as the other side gets the same advantage he does. One thing - his ERA against the Dodgers is the lowest it is against any team, so that will work against him!

I would be surprised if he is anything other than mediocre for them, and I certainly have no reason to root for him.

Edit: his road ERA is 5.75, and his road WHIP is 1.53 (home values are 2.62 and 0.98, respectively), but the W-L records are 3-5 and 3-4, respectively, which shows you that pitching in a pitcher's park might help your stats, but it doesn't necessarily help your team.

 

this has been in the works for months. LA was the only team Maddux would agree to be sent to.

 

This season would've been better if the SD bullpen wasn't absolute schist.
