Congrats to Chris Heston

[packs]

I just meant it was very pronounced with Heston. I'm not knocking him, it's just interesting that he is alternately dominating and terrible to such a predictable degree. Here are his last 4 starts:

May 23:
5.2 IP, 6 ER, 2K

May 28:
7.1 IP, 0 ER, 6K

June 2:
3.2 IP, 7 ER, 6K

June 9:
9 IP, O ER, 11K

who were the opponents and what stadiums...getting shelled in Colorado or versus a very hot Pittsburg team is fine...getting shelled by Atlanta would be different though anything can happen in a small sample size...pretty small sample size all together for up and down...the knicks in the NBA had a 4 or 5 game winning streak against really bad teams than lost 7 in a row ..it not about streaks it was about the opponents......he may be up and down but its pretty normal for most pitcher...but most even with many up and downs..they still get about 65 % good starts in there which could allow them to win 15 games.........still not a good example of up and down cause of who he played...Harvey gave up 7 ER in 2 of his last 4 starts ....so he up and down like 99% of the pitchers..

by the way I would never factor in starts AT Colorado....



last 4 starts for Harvey

At pitt 4 IP 6 H 7 ER 4k
Miami 8 IP 6H 4 ER 11k
Ariz 7 IP 6H 2 ER 9k
SF 6 IP 9H 7 ER 2k

there are many many pitchers that alternative good and bad starts....heck johan Santana through a no hitter than was crushed..sometimes pitchers overextend themselves for 9 innings..so next start are smoked..and others are fresh after pitching 3 innings and getting smoked so their next start they have more energy for a better start......happens all the time...just easy to say a pitcher is up and down.....that applies to almost any starter for a period of time that has success....if a pitcher usually sucks..then that's different....they more down than up....
