The damn man on second to start the inning rule makes it very hard to judge the effectiveness of an extra inning RP'er's outing.
They don't count it as an earned run, but it kinda feels like one.
Officially, today our starter and pen did this:
SP: 5 IP 3 ER 5 Hits & 1 BB & 1 HBP & 2 HR
RP: 6 IP 1 ER (plus the 2 " non earned" runs allowed in extras.) 5 hits & 3 BB & 1 HBP & 1 HR
Just looking at the numbers, the pen did slightly better than Eovaldi.
How many times did he go 38 pitches?
He threw 59 pitches in his first outing, last year on April 4th (3.1 IP).
He threw 38 or more 3 times, as well, but he threw 37+ pitches six times, 35 nine times and 33 twelve times.
