Community Projection Review: Paul Maholm
PLAYER POS. COMMUNITY ZiPS ACTUAL Paul Maholm SP 186 IP, 117 K, 51 BB, 4.42 ERA 175 IP, 108 K, 62 BB, 4.89 ERA 206 IP, 139 K, 63 BB, 3.71 ERA Paul beat ZiPS, and he beat us too, though not as badly. ZiPS' projection and ours have about the same shape--the community just...
For Duke's Sake, the Pirates Need Better Defense
Most years, it seems that the Pirates are about average in either runs scored or runs allowed and dramatically below average on the other. This can lead fans to argue that if they only spent some money on players to help on the side of the ball where they'd been lacking, they'd suddenly have an...
Pirates Allow Two Hits... and Four Runs
This is one of the weirder box scores I've seen in a while. Paul Maholm, Denny Bautista and Tyler Yates two-hit the Brewers today--and both the two hits were singles-- but allowed four runs. They did so by allowing nine walks. Even more remarkably, Yates didn't allow any of them. Maholm had six,...
Pirates 4, Yankees 2
I was at that first Mike Mussina- Paul Maholm matchup, the one that got delayed by rain, and it wasn't much fun--not only because we sat for hours in a very hot, wet, crowded park before the game was eventually called, but because Maholm was off to a terrible start, giving up three runs in the...
Brewers 2, Pirates 1
This was a pitchers' duel all the way, with both Dave Bush and Paul Maholm moving quickly and racking up strikeouts. The Pirates' defense, in contrast to so many games we've seen this season, was very good, and Jack Wilson in particular was spectacular--he made a great play to snare a line drive...
Pirates 14, Cardinals 4
If last Wednesday's game was one of the worst of the season, tonight's had to be one of the best. Luis Rivas, for example, hit a grand slam and a triple. (The triple was actually more like a single that Rick Ankiel dove past, but whatever.) When something like that happens, you're really blowing...
Cardinals 5, Pirates 1
This one didn't go so well, but don't blame Paul Maholm, who gave up four earned runs despite racking up strikeouts and flashing good stuff all night. The Bucs' defense left a lot to be desired, particularly on a weird play in the sixth in which 0-for-3vas completely lost a very catchable fly ball....
Nationals 9, Pirates 8
The Pirates dropped a close one to the Nationals today while wearing pretty awesome Homestead Grays throwback unis. Whenever there's a one-run game and Ryan Doumit doesn't start, I'm going to wonder what might have been. Ronny Paulino started instead and went 0-for-4 with a walk. The Pirates put...
Pirates 5, Phillies 1
Following on the heels of a week of horrible baseball and the release of Matt Morris, this was a refreshing display of competence. Paul Maholm walked four batters, but he had a 99-pitch, complete game two-hitter. Meanwhile, Nate McLouth hit two homers, raising his season total to six, and Jose...
Pirates 3, Marlins 2
When it's April and the optimists are imagining what a .500 season would look like for the Pirates, this is probably the sort of game they envision happening a lot. Despite a big game by Jorge Cantu, the Pirates basically kept the Marlins in check, as Paul Maholm had an excellent start, and the...
