I went straight off of his theory. Ace pitchers raise morale, so more runs should have been scored. Looks like the Red Sox weren't even pumped up enough to score runs for the most dominant pitcher of all time.
I used these examples, because I expected to find a steady correlation, between runs scored and the quality of the starter. Needless to say, I wasn't surprised to see that it was weak.
BTW, have you heard any broadcasters bring up the opposite theory? Aces pitchers get lower runs support, because batters think that they don't need to score as much for their ace.
