His ERA is 3.23. What do you think is record is? 8 - 14 (all before last night). That's because of the Giants' ability to support him with some offense. We know what we call this. What do you think Krukow called it yesterday? He said Matt was "cained."Zonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7941261488380355005.post-64039498077056525432017-04-30T12:13:40.572-07:002017-04-30T12:13:40.572-07:00Here's something from Neil Paine at 538 about ...<a href="https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/baseballs-new-leadoff-hitters-dont-need-to-be-speed-demons/" rel="nofollow">Here's something from Neil Paine at 538 about the change in leadoff hitters over the years.</a> Conclusion? More walks and more power at the top of the lineup. Speed and contact hitting de-emphasized. Seems like all I read about these days are the "three true outcomes" (HR/BB/K).<br />M.C.

His performance has been inspiring. I thought he was washed up, but apparently he's reinvented himself.
