weei's big show asks plls delivers

As usual all statistics were found at the day by day database at Baseball Musings.

Not for sure who (sean mcadam?) asked on the big show yesterday but I deliver the goods thanks to Baseball Musings database. The question was the breakdown on Beckett's games, specifically his ERA in his wins, losses and no decisions. As I think most people know when Beckett was good, he was very good and when he was bad, he was very bad. Anyway, here are the breakdowns.

Wins
In 16 wins he pitched 109 2/3 innings with a 2.22 ERA. In all but one of the 16 wins these were quality starts (6 innings 3 earned runs or less). The one bad start was on 7/8 vs the White Sox. Other things to note, he gave up 12 HR's in those starts, 26 BB's, 83 K's.

He had 3 wins where he pitched shutout ball, 5 wins giving up only 1 earned run, 4 wins giving up 2 earned runs, 3 wins giving up 3 earned runs and 1 game where he gave up
5 earned runs (3 hr's). 1/2 of all his wins no home runs were hit against him.

He won 8 games on the road ( 2 at Yankee stadium) and 8 at home. His 16 wins came against 14 different teams with only the Yankees and Phillies being the only with 2 wins.
These 11 of the 14 teams had overall winning records and combined all 14 had a .513 winning percentage.

Losses
In 11 losses he pitched 57 1/3 innings with a 10.36 ERA. Only 2 of these games did he pitch a quality start (7/3 at Tampa Bay and 8/29 at Oakland). The worst start was his 6/5 game at the Yankees where he pitched 1 1/3 inning giving up 7 earned runs on 7 hits (2 hr's, 2 BB's and 1 K).

20 of his 36 home runs allowed came in these losses, he also issued 34 BB's and only had 49 k's.

His 11 losses came against 6 teams with 2 losses to the Yankees, Cleveland, Toronto, Oakland, and Tampa Bay. Each of these teams beat him at Fenway and in their home stadium. 4 of the six teams had winning records and combined their winning percentage was .526.

No Decisions
In 6 no decisions he pitched 37 2/3 innings with a 5.02 ERA. Half of those were quality starts. He gave up 4 home runs, issued 14 BB's and struck out 26. He had 2 no decisions against Toronto and KC (1 at home and 1 away in both cases). 2 of the 4 teams he faced had winning records.
