Question: In the long run, which single "inning" performance was more disturbing, Myers' 5th or Gordon's 9th?
Let's review:
Myers' 5th Inning
Threw 29 pitches/21 for strikes - seven in play
Faced nine batters: L-4, Single, Single, HBP, SF-9, Walk, Double, E-6, F-4
Result: Four runs (three earned) in one inning
Gordon's 9th Inning
Threw 20 pitches/nine for strikes - four in play
Faced six batters: Infield Single, L-9, Double, Walk, Double
Result: Five runs (all earned) in 1/3 of an inning
See the comment section for my thoughts and hopefully Mike and the two or three other people who read this blog will add their own.
