Offensive explosion!
Five runs!? What god did we please?
Paul Byrd managed to keep runs off the board tonight, but he's still allowing far too many hits - 8 more today, 60 all told in only 45 IP. However, when you don't walk anybody and stay away from homeruns (for the most part, anyway) you're going to be able to get away with the .300+ BAA on occasion. In fact, Byrd ranks third to the bottom in BAA among qualified starters, and yet, he's managed to keep his ERA somewhat respectable:
BAA W/9 HR/9 ERA
-------------|----|----|----|---
Oliver Perez .315 6.08 2.43 8.03
Jamey Wright .315 4.18 1.67 5.85
Paul Byrd .313 1.00 0.60 4.80
Aaron Sele .310 4.54 1.01 6.31
Eric Milton .303 1.60 2.97 6.18
As you can see, he's the only one of these guys who's anywhere near his league's ERA. All thanks to his tremendous rate stats.
