Andy Pettitte

17 runners in 6 innings?!?!?!?!

His walk rate is down from 4.5:1 to slightly less than 3:1.

His k-rate is similar, 7 per 9 innings in 2006 vs 6.9 in 2005.

His hit rate is way up, though. 7.6 per 9 vs 12.2.

He started off slowly last year. I wonder if he will do so this year. I know his shutout in his prior start certainly lead to that conclusion.

After tonight's stinker, I am no longer willing to take that gamble.
