Stat: One Inning of Pedro Martinez

by Matthew Cerrone on September 22nd, 2008 at 12:15 pm

In case you missed it, on Sunday, Pedro Martinez told the Daily News that he is willing to pitch out of the bullpen during the playoffs.

However, as Kevin E wrote in an e-mail to me earlier today, Martinez has pitched in 19 games this season and given up 18 first inning runs.

In fact, he has allowed 28 percent of his runs in the first inning, during which the opposition is hitting .347 against him.

By the way, this is not a new discussion. 

In a post to Gets by Buckner, from 2006, Don wrote about this exact-same topic.
