  1. So we are 16-6 when our 5.19 ERA pitcher starts, and 11-10 when our 2.91 ERA pitcher starts.

    The weirdest part of this for me is thinking about, how relatively little our starting pitcher has apparently influenced our record so far. That is to say, it seems hard to blame Berrios’ poor pitching, for instance, as a factor for why we don’t have a better record right now… Since somehow we’ve won 16 of his 22 starts. Like, I get that he’s taxing the bullpen more, etc., etc. But I mean, it seems so weird to reflect on how little it’s affected our chances of winning his starts. And that Gausman days are barely above .500….

  2. A quarter of Gausman’s run support came in 1 game, take that away his games have a negative run diff…

  3. But of course our record would be better if it weren’t for the fact Berrios is an “automatic L whenever [he takes] the mound”

  4. It’s because Berrios hasn’t been as bad as his era says. He has a bunch of good starts this year, it’s just that when he has a bad game it’s really really bad. That tilts his overall numbers for the season.

    That’s not to say he hasn’t been bad, it’s just not the disaster people think it is.

  5. Baseball is too much about advanced stats. Stats show the Jays are leading in most categories yet they are now fighting for a WC spot.

  6. This is why wins and losses are kind of a silly stat to judge pitchers by. FIP is way more indicative
