Maddog heats it up
Monday, June 7, 2004
The Cubs won Sunday 4-1 over the Bucs. Maddog pitched well, going 7 strong innings, allowing 1 run on 4 hits, walking none, and striking out 6. The Cubs won their first series in two weeks. The last series we won? Against the Red-Birds in Wrigley.
After yesterday's game, I started thinking about Maddux performance and so I compiled some numbers. In his last 5 starts, Maddux is 2-1 with a 2.94 ERA in 33.2 IP, not bad. I have also been telling anyone who will listen that Maddux always starts poorly and then improves, this seems to be happening this year too.
This chart shows Greg Maddux cumulative ERA by start number over the past three years. The pattern is unmistakable, and makes me very happy that he will be in the rotation for the next couple of summers.
