7) using sarcasm in a way that can be misinterpreted negatively
8) making the same point over and over again
9) typing "no-hitter" or "perfect game" to describe either in progress
10) being annoyed by the existence of this list
11) commenting under the obvious influence
12) claiming your opinion isn't allowed when it's just being disagreed with

... the Dodgers might possibly confront the growing calamity that is Darren Dreifort - apparently healthy, sufficiently rested, yet allowing a 5.06 ERA and 1.6 baserunners per inning.

Dreifort allows few extra-base hits, but in case you haven't noticed, he's a poor man's Kazhuhisa Ishii. Dreifort has given up 8.1 hits and walked 6.4 batters per nine innings this season. Ishii is at 7.0 hits and 6.1 walks per nine.

It's not just that Dreifort isn't pitching to the level of his extraordinary contract. He's barely pitching to the level of the major league minimum contract.

And yes, Tom Martin has been even worse. More than two baserunners per inning. Lefty batters, his specialty, have an OPS of .958 against him.
