Random and Responsive Performance by Starting Pitchers Day Four--Part Two

By Bill James

July 12, 2010

This is the second half of a chart started in a previous article. It gives the Effective Runs Allowed Rates for all pitchers with 100 or more starts in the Retrosheet data, and notes some pitchers who are either in the black (meaning that their Effective Runs Allowed Rate is markedly better than their basic Runs Allowed Rate) or in the red (meaning that it is worse.)
