He had Cy Young stuff but not much support.
Santana gave up nine runs on 39 hits with 47 strikeouts in 44 1/3 innings. He only walked 13.
With the way Santana finished the season, it is hard to believe he was booed in the first half. He’s been lights out since early July.
-Since July 4, was 9-0 with a 2.09 ERA in 17 starts. He allowed three runs or less in 16 of these starts.
-Santana was 6-0 with a 1.47 ERA in his last nine starts at Shea.
Omar did a great job to get Santana. He also did a terrible job of getting a bullpen to keep Santana from having to finish games he started on 3 days rest, putting his health at risk.
Ray: The bullpen coughed up the lead in a Santana game seven times.-JD
how could he be pitcher of the month with an era that high?
his era should be under 1 to get the award.
