-- Never had to figure out a three-letter abbreviation for Kansas City before

-- SC's -57 is possibly a Gangster BB record. I remember a doubleheader at Coors a few years ago when DB couldn't change his team or something and wound up with a DH PS that went for a big minus - maybe he'll remember how much.

To get a -57 in a single game you need something like 8 IPs (+24) with 4 Ks (+5), while allowing 19 ERs (-57), 22 Hits (-22), and 7 BBs (-7).

Pretty tough to do that when we are - theoretically, anyway - picking from only the top SPs in baseball.
