July 7, 200421 yr 0-1, 11.25 ERA lifetime vs. FLA Just what our bats needed. 445238[/snapback] That's in a 4 IP sample space. That number will go down, bank on it. 445240[/snapback] Thanks for the Stats 101 refresher course, but I was being optimistic. We make any pitcher look like a Cy Young recently.
July 7, 200421 yr The 4-4 record that Perez brings to Pro Player tonight is not that impressive, but that 3.22 era is a little more on the impressive side (also that 113:33, k:w) Last outing (win) he went 7 innings struck out 11, walked 1, and gave up 1 earned run. It looks like the kid (23 years old) is generally pitching well but not getting good run support.
