I'll look it up while you talk, Bob.

Yeah, so I think 20 and 13, I think you're going to see Paul Skeens.

If you break down the numbers, last year Paul Skeens, in his starts with the Pirates, they only won 17 of their 32 games.

So he's on the mound, he's having a sub-2 ERA Cy Young season, and they only went two games above .500 when he pitched.

That's because of low run support.

Just imagine if he duplicates those same numbers for him this season and they add one run a game or less than that, 0.8 runs per game.

I think you're going to see that 17-15 record go to, you know...

22-12, five-game difference, something of that, or maybe more.

I'll be shocked if he loses 12 games this year.

No, I'm not saying that.

It's when he starts, the games he starts.

Oh, yeah.

It's not his record.

They had him on the mound, Joe, 32 times.

They only won 17 of those times.

You've got to win almost every one of those games that he's in there with the way he was pitching.

Yes, of course.

So that would be a big difference right off the bat.

Yeah, but I think that's probably because he's looking to do a lot of different things with all the different pitches he has.

He's learning how to pitch.
