    There are four perfect 3-0 starting pitchers left. Can you name the four?

    Amazing that there are only four perfect 3 and 0 starters left.
    Here's a fun fact for you.
    Kudos to Don Mattingly and his Marlins, he's on top of the NL East and in the first nine games to start the season he had to use nine different starting pitchers.
    Or are they no longer called starting pitchers and are known now as opening pitchers.

    Cole, Fried, Beiber, and Senzatela.

    Final answer.

    I was handicapping the early games this morning and noticed that Senzatela was squaring off against Luke Weaver and I was like "Oh God, where do you begin 'capping this mess"?

    Senzatela had one of the worst starting pitching seasons in the history of MLB baseball.

    How could a man go from this, to this.
    2019 was no fluke either, he made 25 starts last year. That's not a small sample size, that's a 25 start year.
    It's next to impossible to be so consistently shitty for an entire season.
    An ERA of almost seven ?
    A WHIP of over 1.7?
    Are you kidding me?
    A 1.7 is almost 2 base runners allowed an inning, every inning.
    11.5 hits allowed per nine, and that's before the over 4 walks given up per nine.
    And 1.5 of those 11 hits allowed per nine.

    Year Tm W L ERA GS IP H R ER HR BB SO ERA+ WHIP H9 HR9 BB9 SO9 SO/W
    2019 COL 11 11 6.71 25 124.2 161 99 93 19 57 76 76 1.749 11.6 1.4 4.1 5.5 1.33
    2020 COL 3 0 2.65 3 17 15 6 5 1 5 14 194 1.176 7.9 0.5 2.6 7.4 2.8

    That's bizzaro world numbers. And he wound up 11 and 11.
    Now after his first three starts so far he looks like the second coming of Cy Young.
    Then I was looking at this years version of Luke Weaver, he's on pace to have even a shiitier year than Senzatela's season of 2019.
    And next to impossible to replicate.

    What's even whackier is Senzatela's life time home/away from Coors splits are almost identical.
    Go figure.

    How strange are these splits.

    Split G AB R H 2B 3B HR SB CS BB SO BA OBP SLG OPS
    Home 42 762 121 215 55 7 29 6 1 68 134 0.282 0.342 0.487 0.829
    Away 45 675 101 183 37 4 19 8 0 71 127 0.271 0.343 0.422 0.766


    Oh look, things have returned to Earth.
    Both starters got rocked and left the game with their tails between their legs.

    Up is up again and down is down again.

    I thought for sure Dylan Bundy cause I’ve bet every game, nice example of a guy who has adjusted his game to loss of velocity.

    I was lamenting about how we were already a quarter of the way through the MLB season just yesterday and started to look at the best and worst of a bunch of stats.

    So barring some major error in my shit, I think those are the players Nasher's looking for without having to look it up online.

    Bundy 3-1.

    He's only played against OAK and SEA and loss against SEA.

    He has won 2 in row.
