April 13, 200521 yr They have four complete games, while the other 29 teams combined for two through Tuesday. - From AP recap

April 13, 200521 yr Still wont get us any more coverage on whatever sports show you might watch on TV but it's a great stat to see. We're gonna live and die by our pitching this season and so far we're off to a great start.
April 13, 200521 yr Amazing stat, but hopefully it's not too much too soon, or even worse that Alfonseca and Mota struggle because of lack of use...
April 13, 200521 yr The Braves bullpen is falling apart for the second game in a row. They are now losing 10-4 in the ninth. Welcome to a tie for first place Florida Marlins fans ! Let's hope we stay there for a good long while !
April 13, 200521 yr Welcome to a tie for first place Florida Marlins fans ! Let's hope we stay there for a good long while ! 741116[/snapback] I really like the sound of that. :thumbup
April 13, 200521 yr In addition to this stat, I have just seen on MLB.com that there are ONLY TWO pitchers in all of baseball with a 0.00 ERA. Their names are Josh Beckett and Dontrelle Willis. Great pitching this year. GO FISH!

April 13, 200521 yr This is a great stat i'm so glad all these guys are doing so well, but i am fearful of how they will respond down the road if they happen to start breaking down because of fatigue.
April 13, 200521 yr we are in trouble. dontrelle threw 114 pitches :plain pitch counts are some idiotic stat that someone came up with as an indicator of when a pitcher is done. i prefer to judge by a pitchers stuff. dontrelle is doing great. I love this, perhaps this is him turning the corner toward consistency.
April 13, 200521 yr I dont think that our pitchers will break down at the end of the season. A pitcher can throw 110 pitches in 7 innings and nobody will even mention him breaking down but if a pitcher pitches a complete game and throwing 110 pitches people start to worry. Its the same thing :shrugs
April 13, 200521 yr yep and for the most part their velocity, movement and placement has looked pretty sharp late in the game these are young guys as well ... although some past injury concerns get everyone a little jumpy and past accusations of overuse - but if they look good, the pitch count is low then keep them going the main concern is about the bullpen getting work, but it seems as if there have been enough extra inning games and non traditional situations where jack has found innings for mota and the others
