Check out these words from KC Star columnist Sam Mellinger regarding Jeremy Guthrie’s last three starts:
“Here’s the complete list of starting pitchers who’ve gone at least seven innings with no earned runs in three or more consecutive starts this season: R.A. Dickey, Ryan Dempster, and Jeremy Guthrie.
Here are the guys who did it last year: Cliff Lee (twice), Clayton Kershaw, and CC Sabathia.
Point is, guys who aren’t good pitchers don’t usually do things like this. You can find some. Jason Hammel did it in 2010. Zach Duke did it as a rookie in 2005. Others have done it during their peaks, then fallen off, like Ubaldo Jimenez. But it’s mostly a star-studded list: Oswalt, Santana, Halladay, Cain.”
This might just be a blip on the radar for Guthrie but I’ll take it. What say ye Hawkster?

7 runs, 6 earned in 2 2/3 innings.
I say thumbs up and that I am impressed and to date was wrong on this one. I did not see it coming after what a turd he was in CO, and I hope he can keep it up. How’s that for eating crow.
Who hacked Hawkster’s account? His Donk and Gayhawk ass never admits when he’s wrong. Hawkster you didn’t stop drinking did you?
Fly ball pitchers have a hard time in Colorado as that has been proven over the years. Hopefully he keeps it up for the rest of the year and this isn’t just a fluke.
Interestingly enough, both Ubaldo and Hammels did their deeds in Denver and then collapsed. To answer Cheeese question, I never stopped drinking.
