He didn't have a big lead in '91 when he threw a 10 inning SHO and still pitched to contact. It's just in that game, the contact he gave up was different than the contact he gave up in '92. Small Sample Size Variance! We remember his great performance in '91. We hide the horrible performance in '92, but he was the same pitcher. Overall, he was a very good pitcher. He was a 3.90 ERA pitcher. Some days his contact he gave up wouldn't be a big deal, some days it would be. Overall, it would lead to a 3.90 ERA. It's a complete MYTH that he would give up more runs in games where he had leads and less runs in games that were closer. Two of his best all time Postseason performances were in games where his team scored 8 and 9 runs. Shouldn't he have let off the gas a little and given up 4 runs then rather than given up 4 runs when his team had only scored 5? It makes no damn sense.
