joel pineiro has thrown 126 innings this year --- 63 useful innings, and 63 useless ones:
| ip | h | bb | so | hr | ERA | avg | slg | |
| thru jun 22 | 63 | 64 | 14 | 34 | 7 | 3.86 | .266 | .432 |
| since jun 22 | 63.2 | 93 | 14 | 30 | 9 | 5.80 | .339 | .562 |
note that the bb, so, and hr rates are all nearly identical; the difference in performance is explained entirely by outcomes on balls in play. it's hard to sustain success when you pitch to contact as devotedly as pineiro does. . . . .
randy johnson's pendulum is swinging the opposite way from pineiro's --- he had an era over 5.00 through june 20, but 2.95 in 12 starts since then.
