Doc, how many pitchers, ever, have their 1st 5 starts with a line of 4 wins, 0 losses, 31 innings, 17 hits, 4 ER's and 30 K's?
None, maybe? I mean could Whitey Ford have been any better over 5 starts? 4 of Gooden's 1st 5 were great, but he got thrashed in his 2nd (and his 6th).
These 1st five Paxton starts are in rarefied air guys. Tell your grandkids you saw them.
