Starting Rotation |
||
| Player | Trend | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ian Kennedy |
 |
On Friday against the Cubs, Kennedy pitched four scoreless innings and was even given a two-run lead, but the long ball doomed Ian again. He left in the 6th inning, allowing three runs but still earning the win. In the season finale against the Rockies, Ian pitched much better but was once again the victim of poor run support. He pitched seven innings and gave up two runs, neither earned. Season Line: 15-12, 4.02 ERA, 103 ERA+, 1.30 WHIP |
| Trevor Cahill |
 |
Cahill pitched his second-best game of the season Saturday against the Cubs. Trevor pitched a complete game, and didn't give up any runs until a two-run home run in the 9th inning. His whole September was a nice end to the season for Cahill. Season Line: 13-12, 3.78 ERA, 200.0 IP, 110 ERA+, 1.29 WHIP |
| Wade Miley |
|
Miley finally raised his stock in his final outing of the year. He pitched 7.2 innings and didn't allow a run until the 7th; one of "his" three runs was allowed by Zagurski after him. Miley struck out a career-high 10 Rockies. Season Line: 16-11, 3.33 ERA, 194.2 IP, 125 ERA+, 1.18 WHIP |
| Patrick Corbin |
|
Corbin ended his season on an incredibly high note. On his mother's birthday, he pitched seven innings and allowed just one run. Sadly, he didn't earn the win because of a blown save, but it was a very great night for Corbin. Season Line: 6-8, 4.54 ERA, 107.0 IP, 92 ERA+, 1.33 WHIP |
| Josh Collmenter |
|
It was only Collmenter's 11th start of the year, but it was a good one. For the second straight outing he was limited to five innings, but he again gave up only one run to the Cubs. He left with a lead, but the wheels came off the wagon after that. Season Line: 28 G (11 starts), 5-3, 3.69 ERA, 90.1 IP, 113 ERA+, 1.26 WHIP |

| Player | Trend | Notes |
| Matt Albers |
 |
Albers pitched a scoreless inning Friday, but all three inherited runners scored Saturday night, plus one of his own, in just one out. Season Line (w/ AZ): 23 G, 21 IP, 2.57 ERA, 164 ERA+, 1.10 WHIP |
| Brad Bergesen |
|
Bergesen allowed one run in one inning on Sunday, but Monday was worse. He entered in the 13th inning and left with one out, one run already in, and the bases loaded; they all eventually scored. Season Line: 19 G, 29.2 IP, 3.64 ERA, 116 ERA+, 1.21 WHIP |
| David Hernandez |
|
The normally-lights-out Hernandez picked one of the worst times for a meltdown. He blew the save for Corbin on Tuesday, allowing two runs on three hits in one inning. He hadn't allowed a run since September 7th, including 1.1 IP scoreless earlier in the week. He struck out two in a scoreless inning this afternoon. Season Line: 72 G, 68.1 IP, 2-3/4 SV, 2.50 ERA, 167 ERA+, 1.02 WHIP |
| J.J. Putz |
|
J.J. pitched three games this past week, a scoreless non-save inning both times. Season Line: 57 G, 54.1 IP, 1-5/32 SV, 2.82 ERA, 148 ERA+, 1.03 WHIP |
| Matt Lindstrom |
|
Lindstrom pitched 1.1 innings this week, walking one, and striking one out leaving the bases loaded Friday night. Season Line (w/ AZ): 12 G, 10.2 IP, 2.53 ERA, 170 ERA+, 1.13 WHIP |
| Takashi Saito |
|
Saito allowed one run (a home run) in the 9th inning of in game we were already losing by a lot. Season Line: 16 G, 12.0 IP, 6.75 ERA, 63 ERA+, 1.83 WHIP |
| Bryan Shaw |
|
Like Bergesen, Shaw came in Sunday afternoon ahead by one and left one out later with the bases loaded, all of whom later scored. The very next day, he pitched two scoreless innings. Season Line: 64 G, 59.1 IP, 1-6/2 SV, 3.49 ERA, 120 ERA+, 1.42 WHIP |
| Tyler Skaggs | Season Line: 1-3, 29.1 IP, 5.83 ERA, 72 ERA+, 1.47 WHIP | |
| Mike Zagurski |
|
On Sunday, big Z came in with the bases loaded and left 'em that way with a strikeout. Monday night, he came in with the bases loaded and let them all score. Season Line: 45 G, 37.1 IP, 5.54 ERA, 76 ERA+, 1.50 WHIP |
| Brad Ziegler |
|
Brad pitched two innings in the Rockies series, giving up a hit in each but keeping em scoreless. And, wouldn't you know it, one of those baserunners was erased on a ground ball double play. Season Line: 77 G, 6-1, 68.2 IP, 2.49 ERA, 168 ERA+, 1.09 WHIP |
