Ender, B2 "Crap stat"? Really? Hits allowed? I get that 5 is an arbitrary number, but the fact that nobody else....

has ever done it at any point in their career is impressive.

It would be crap if it wasn't significant. it is.

How about Career WHIP?

Cingrani 1.07
Kershaw 1.09

Cingrani has pitched like a whopping 120 innings in MLB, let's wait before crowning him. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 3, 07:20 8
- I'm not crowning him. That's the point. The streak is significant. - volnelk Apr 3, 07:23 7
  - Becuase most pitchers who are giving up less than 1 hit per inning don't come out after 5 innings. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 3, 07:28
  - lol, you just compared him to a 2 time Cy Young winner. - groiny Apr 3, 07:25 5
    - Just to show that it isn't just random luck and that he is overall doing very well as well. Sure walks would be significant as well, but..... - volnelk Apr 3, 07:30 1
      - In those 19 starts, he's pitched 104 innings.... - Will Hunting Apr 3, 07:33
    - It doesn't even take into account length of outing. Quality starts are kinda a crap stat too, but at least they're well defined. -- nm - Ender Apr 3, 07:27 2
      - I would argue that it indirectly does, with the exception of injury. You don't really have short quality outings. -- nm - volnelk Apr 3, 07:33 1
        
        to date, they remove him after 5, or likely 2 times through the batting order. - groiny Apr 3, 07:46
