Ted Lilly's Gem:

Bill James came up with the concept of the game score a long time ago to put a point value on a start, so you could compare how good one start is to another. You get points for IP, pitching deep into the game and strikeouts. You lose points for hits, walks and runs. It's set up so that most scores will be between 1 and 100, with anything over 90 being an excellent start. Lilly put up a 90 today, the 9th time this season a pitcher had a 90. The top scores so far:


Pitcher Date IP H R ER BB K GS W L
Schilling, Curt 4/07/02 9.0 1 0 0 2 17 100 1 0
Johnson, Randy 4/21/02 9.0 2 1 0 1 17 97 1 0
Weaver, Jeff 5/22/02 9.0 1 0 0 2 11 94 1 0
Lowe, Derek 4/27/02 9.0 0 0 0 1 6 92 1 0
Estes, Shawn 4/26/02 9.0 1 0 0 1 8 92 1 0
Perez, Odalis 4/26/02 9.0 1 0 0 0 6 91 1 0
Lilly, Ted 6/22/02 9.0 3 0 0 2 11 90 1 0
Loaiza, Esteban 5/19/02 9.0 2 0 0 0 7 90 1 0
Astacio, Pedro 5/14/02 9.0 2 0 0 2 9 90 1 0

So Lilly's had the best start by a Yankee this year.
