Zambrano has lowered his ERA 12 starts in a row since June 1

Does anyone know if this is a record?

Carlos Zambrano is good

Zambrano has never had more than 2 straight months of domination in his entire career, my guess and hope (as a Brewer fan) is that he's about due for an off month. In July he was by far the best pitcher in baseball though, so its going to be hard to follow up with an even better month regardless of what happens.

The thing is the Cubs dont need Z to be 1.5 ERA dominating. They just need him to not be what he was the first 2 months of the season 5+ ERA. If he gives the Cubs just a 3. ERA the Cubs will still win the majority of his starts.

Johan Santana had a stretch of 12 straight starts where he lowered his ERA in 2004. On May 29 his ERA was 5.61 and on August 1 it was 3.30. He then had one start on August 7 where his ERA went from 3.30 to 3.34 and he followed that by lowering his ERA for his next 10 starts. So he lowered his ERA in 22 of he final 23 starts of the 04 season.

 

Since Johan is notorious for being better post-ASB, he was the first pitcher that popped into my head.

Imagine what Z's resigning price is going to be if he continues to pitch like he is and wins the Cy Young. I hope the new owner is willing to pay more then Zito money to him.

It's because I started wearing my Zambrano jersey t-shirt when he starts. Last year it proved bad luck the few times I wore it when he started. But this year I had it on accidently the next game Z started after the fight with Barrett, and it paid dividends. I've worn it every start since even if it's dirty.

 

Just happy to do my part. 8-)

Cuban will pay whatever it takes to sign him. :wink:
