Big Pelf and the Schneid

TransMonk Jun 11 2008 09:57 PM

I shat on him a couple of weeks ago saying that if he was going to be a stud that he would be better than he was...but I'll eat my words after tonight's performance. He has had a really great 3 game stretch. Harold Reynolds called it tonight on the postgame when he said that Pelfrey and Schneider were developing a really good rhythm: Pelfrey in 2008 when Schneider is catching him: 2-2, 3.51ERA, 41IP, 44H, 18R, 16ER, 16BB, 27K, 1HR Pelrey in 2008 when Schneider is not catching him: 0-4, 5.28ERA, 29IP, 39H, 17R, 17ER, 14BB, 11K, 3HR Schneider can't hit for shit, but it looks like he may be doing some good for Mike.

I think Pelfrey is also responding to possibly losing his spot to Vargas that time when Pedro came back , however likely that was to happen or not.

One thing that Cohen said last night that was pretty alarming: Pelphrey does not have a major league win on normal rest. All of his wins have come with extra rest.

Yes, but I think he's had some good pitching performances on regular rest. "Wins" are a fun stat, but they don't really mean a whole lot. Pelfrey pitched great last night, and didn't get a win. For a while now, my hope for Mike Pelfrey was that he'd find himself, and despite his shaky beginnings, would become a quality dependable starter. (Craig Swan and Mike Scott are Mets pitchers who did this.) I'm allowing myself to be optimistic that we're seeing that happen now.
