No I'm not suggesting canonization but our early pitching has been lights out better than recent years. I went through box scores and worked up a comparison with this year's pitching vs two years ago. Quite the difference.
Ten game total .. 2013 ...... 2015
IP ........................ 84 ........... 88
HITS ...................100 .......... 80
ER ...................... 55 ........... 26
BB ...................... 38 ........... 23
SO ...................... 62 .......... 59
WP/HBP ............. 19 ...........10
BAA .................. .309 ........ .242
ERA ................... 5.89 ........ 2.66
More innings, fewer hits, less than half the runs. 1/3 less walks, nearly half the WP/HBP, good BAA and terrific ERA.
Didn't calculate the WHIP but it's obviously improved by a lot. Not too shabby.
