Comments on: Consecutive Starts of At Most 5 Innings to Start the Season http://www.baseball-reference.com/blog/archives/5993 This and that about baseball stats.

His game score was 74, and his ERA drops from 7.52 to 6.03.

He is 4-7 with a 7.03 ERA against teams that aren't the Cardinals. Including the 4 shutout innings (on 41 Pitches) that he has thrown as I write this, he is 3-0 with 22 IP and 0 ER against the Cardinals.

On a quick side note/ Andy, I assume you're watching the Yanks/Tigers - the rest of the country benefits by the MLB network but that guy on the Tigers with 7 2 baggers in his first 55ABs sounds like fodder for a post?

After his seventh start he didn't pitch for about five weeks (DL?), then came back and went 5-1 with a 2.44 ERA (.595 OPS against) the rest of the season.

Plus, he had 28 CGs in 1980!
