The record is bad, but that's meaningless, and the ERA sounds high, but there's no context.  If the starter ERA in the playoffs over the same period is 4.30 or something, then the difference is even less.  I can't stand when these guys quote stats with no context.  May as well say that John Lackey's ERA would have been worse than league average in 1968, and therefore he's a mediocre pitcher.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7965585998403674176/8070029765324787256/comments/default/3963471770593671146'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7965585998403674176/8070029765324787256/comments/default/3963471770593671146'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://vegaswatch.net/2007/10/three-days-rest.html?showComment=1192632780000#c3963471770593671146' title=''/><author><name>Spencer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06586789661765514209</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://vegaswatch.net/2007/10/three-days-rest.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7965585998403674176.post-8070029765324787256' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7965585998403674176/posts/default/8070029765324787256' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
