Not sure how you think my math is wrong. I was taught in the 3rd grade that when a number was 5.5 or higher you rounded it up. Add to that, baseball is done in 3rd's not 10ths and you have to round up. In 2008 he pitched 5.272727272.. IPG. Technically that would be rounded up to 5.3 which anyone who knows anything about baseball would know that means 6 IP. In 2007 it was 6.238 which again in baseball would be seen as 6.2 IPG. In 2006 5.768 which again would round up to 6IP. In 2005, it is 6IP on the nose. So yes I think I am right in this. Also go to my previous post and then go to the league stats from the years he pitched in those leagues. In every one of them there are current Major Leaguers who were behind him in IP.

 

In regards to this, you have to remember that there's 5 1/3rd inning, 5 2/3rd innigns. So in 2008 where he had 5.3 innings, that'd be an average of 5 1/3rd IP pitched. In 2007, it'd be 6 1/3rd. 2006 would be 5 2/3rd.

 

Ok now I see what he was saying and I agree. So he has averaged between 5.2/3 and 6.

It's pretty irrelevant how many innings per start he pitches in the minor leagues. No one gets on David Price because he doesn't get those deep complete games. If you're young, you are protected. There are a lot more pitchers who get into minor league games, and whatever your complaint against trahern is, i don't think you should rail against him because he is treated like a minor leaguer.
