Francisco Liriano made another encouraging start last night, going 6 innings while striking out 7 and walking 4. This marks the second start in a row that Liriano had a K/9 rate greater than 9.0, and even more exciting than the strikeout total is the 57% GB% he posted.
Both the K/9 rate and the GB% are significantly better than they were at the beginning of the year, and despite the 4 walks in yesterday's start, Liriano showed throughout the month of May that his walk rate is not a major concern. If he keeps up his current rate of improvement, we might see him put up some significant stats after the All-Star break.

My interest in science, baseball, and math has culminated in an all around attempt to understand the statistical side of minor league player performances and what they mean for future production. I also have 2 dogs and a 1990 Toyota Corolla that keep my life interesting outside of school. I like thai food, fishing, and giving injections.
