In response to "Cingrani has pitched like a whopping 120 innings in MLB, let's wait before crowning him. nm -- nm" by groiny

I'm not crowning him. That's the point. The streak is significant.

Nobody has done it at ANY point in their careers.

The fact that he has done it in his first 19 starts to me only makes it that much more impressive.

Look, I'm not saying he's the cy young winner, just that the stat blew me away. For anyone, especially a rookie to go more than half a year and never have an off day where you get touched up is impressive.

Papelbon gave up 4 hits in 1/3 of an inning last night.

Cingrani's never given up 6 hits in a game. Ever. It's impressive.

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
