DBAHO Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 I suppose the one thing that doesn't help Mark being recognised to "others" as a superstar pitcher is he doesn't strike out batters a lot, like other pitchers with better stuff. He has 67 on the year from 108IP, or 5.58 K/9. Johan Santana has 121 on the season so far. That doesn't mean Mark isn't as good of a pitcher though. He's crafty, eats up innings (tied for the season lead with Halliday), and doesn't walk very many hitters at all. We're very lucky to have him in our rotation.

YASNY Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 Contrary to some peoples' beliefs, you don't have to be a big strike out pitcher to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no doubt and we all know that around here, I just think dbaho is pointing out that is why Mark doesn't necessarily get the pub that the other aces around the league get(correct me if I'm wrong db).

Jordan4life_2007 Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 So does that make it like 40 consecutive starts of atleast 6 innings? Amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
