You just can't find any significant difference in the overall numbers of the pitching staff before and after the departure of Michael Barrett. In a way, this is a little surprising to me, since, when you look at each pitcher individually, you see very different things. Zambrano for example with the very slow start and the hot streak recently..... Marquis with the real hot streak to open, then pretty bad lately... etc, etc. Anyway.... here's how the whole pitching staff breaks out........ 04/02 - 07/14 IP H R ER BB K HR BB/9 K/9 HR/9 WHIP ERA CUBS w/Barrett 627.0 563 290 271 228 510 77 3.27 7.32 1.11 1.26 3.89 CUBS without 176.3 159 81 76 67 170 17 3.42 8.68 0.87 1.28 3.88 CUBS overall 803.3 722 371 347 295 680 94 3.30 7.62 1.05 1.27 3.89
