Talbot's ERA would be a more respectable 4.16 if that one game where he pitched 0.0 innings and allowed 10 earned runs could be eliminated!

Stacy Long said...

He's suffered two other b.p. sessions, allowing eight earned runs over four innings in April and again last week in six innings.

I am a Travis Minix fan and have been following his stats as close as possible while he is in Taiwan. How are you getting those stats?
