This time he gave up 12 runs and 14 hits in 5 innings.
Last time, he gave up 13 runs and 14 hits in 5 innings.
According to Nails, he is the first pitcher since 1940 to give up more than 12 earned runs twice during a season.
Apparently, Tony LaRussa thinks Marquis has the mental makeup to handle these beatings as he continues to sacrifice Marquis to rest the bullpen.
Marquis still has 11 wins (and 14 or 15 starts left) but his ERA is now 5.97. Without those two disastrous starts, Marquis’ ERA would be 1.50 runs lower than it is now. While 4.58 isn’t a pretty ERA, it’s no 5.97. His ERA in those other 10 innings is 22.50.
