Scott Feldman Today, 2013

[Capn Vivi]

I never thought I'd say this, but what do you think it would take to re-sign him this offseason? :scratchchinhmm:

Overall, a gutty effort by Feldman.

He had bad control (a career-high 6 walks in only 5 innings), but he also was squeezed pretty badly by the home-plate umpire, and was let down by an otherwise exemplary defense.

1 earned run over 5 innings.

Thought this was worth noting considering how much hand-wringing there seems to have been over not bringing back Saunders and knocking of the move to bring in Feldman as not enough:

Feldman thus far with the Orioles in 2013 (does not include tonight, shouldn't move the numbers much):

12 GS; 5-4; 3.62 ERA; 77.0 IP; 1.117 WHIP; 116 ERA+

6.31 K/9; 2.57 BB/9; 0.70 HR/9; 3.75 FIP; 3.94 xFIP; 1.3 fWAR; 1.1 rWAR

Saunders with the O's in 2012:

7 GS; 3-3; 3.63 ERA; 44.2 IP; 1.276 WHIP; 116 ERA+

4.63 K/9; 1.61 BB/9; 0.81 HR/9; 3.77 FIP; 4.44 xFIP; 0.8 fWAR; 0.8 rWAR

Saunders in 2013 (complete):

31 GS; 11-15; 5.16 ERA; 176 IP; 1.619 WHIP; 72 ERA+

5.01 K/9; 3.02 BB/9; 1.23 HR/9; 4.78 FIP; 4.32 xFIP; 0.5 fWAR; 0.0 rWAR

I think Feldman has certainly been better with the Orioles this season than Saunders has been with the M's. It's certainly closer looking at Saunders's 2012 numbers with the O's, but I think Feldman has actually given us better performance and has been pretty good for a 5th starter. I think there was a stat flashed pregame that showed that he was fairly poor (or at least mediocre) in his first 6 games and pretty darn good since.

Horrible season finale for Feldman.

The antithesis of his complete-game shutout earlier this month.
