For instance in my aces last start he threw a perfect game through 7.1 innings yet somehow gets a no decision allowing 1 run on 1 hit. This is a theme for this guy as his era every year is stellar yet somehow he gets so many no decisions. Ive had other guys with ERA in the high 4s win 20+ games. Do any other people have any of their pitchers who are seemingly unlucky.

THis season he's 5-2 with a 2.50 ERA and a filthy .171 VRHB but in every close game whenever a half decent lefty comes to plate, instant hit. Whenever I find another starter he'll probably end up being my setup guy against righties but today I'll have to deal with no decisions and left handers owning him late in games.

Prince Bonner has a nice ERA but doesn't get much run support, thats why he has no decisions. Theres the Bay City Lions story of Pitchers......
