Anyway, the reason I did it was because Jamie Moyer went and got 7 strikeouts today against the Royals, which is his season high, I went and looked up some stats about him on Retrosheet (someone asked what his all-time season high K was on USSM, and I guess I got carried away.)
If you care, these are the single game highs for the M's starters (I'm counting Sele for lack of a better 5th). The "Lowest Hits" is for lowest hits in a complete game pitched.
Lowest Most Most Most Most Most
Hits K's HR's Runs Hits BB's
------ ---- ---- ---- ---- ----
Moyer 2 13 4 11 13 7
Franklin 2 9 4 8 12 5
Pineiro 3 12 3 8 12 6
Meche 5 11 4 8 10 8
Sele 2 13 3 10 13 7
In Ryan Franklin's two times that he allowed 8 runs, of the 16 runs, only 5 were earned.
In Pineiro's two times he allowed 8 runs, they were all earned. They were also both last year.
I'm not counting a one-hitter of Meche's where it was only 5 innings and called due to rain. All of his runs were earned in those high-run games -- the other weird part is how he let up 8 runs the very next start after getting that career-high 11 strikeouts, and he actually lost both outings.
Oh yeah, and Moyer's 13-strikeout game was on April 8, 1989. Felix Hernandez's birthday is April 8, 1986. So Jamie's highest strikeout day ever was on Felix's 3rd birthday. Isn't that bizarre?
