So it’s not just me. I was starting to wonder if complete games by starting pitchers are up this year. I was at the verge of looking up the stats until I noticed that David Pinto had already done so at Baseball Musings. Ten complete games as of April 16.
In short, David wonders if it’s a direct correlation to the low save percentage of teams’ bullpens. But check out the posting yourself. He’s got a cool historical graph showing CG/Start that’s worth a look.
