By no measure has Matt Cain had a dominant or even very good 2007, but the Giants? hitters have treated him unfairly. Cain has an ERA of 3.78, but a record of 5-13. The Giants average 3.21 runs per game for Cain, down from their average of 4.31. Noah Lowry, who leads the club with 13 wins, gets 4.61 runs per start. Since 1961, there have been 16 other pitchers who have posted an ERA of 3.80 or better, with a 30% Win-Loss percentage and at least 150 innings pitched. Most of them occurred in the 60?s and 70?s, with only three in the 80?s, John Dopson?s 1988 season being the most recent. Jerry Koosman has the dubious honor of having two appearances on this list. John Dopson, Montreal, 1988: 3.04, .214 Nelson Briles, St. Louis, 1966: 3.21, .211 Steve Rogers, Montreal, 1976: 3.21, .292 Jerry Koosman, NY Mets, 1977: 3.49, .286 Dave LaPoint, San Francisco, 1985: 3.57, .292 Galen Cisco, NY Mets, 1964: 3.62, .240 Bill Singer, LA Dodgers, 1972: 3.67, .270 Juan Marichal, San Francisco, 1972: 3.71, .273 Atlee Hammaker, San Francisco, 1985: 3.74, .294 Jim Rooker, Kansas City, 1969: 3.75, .200 Jerry Koosman, NY Mets, 1978: 3.75, .167 Gary Peters, Chicago White Sox, 1968: 3.76, .235 Tom Murphy, California, 1971: 3.77, .261 Roger Craig, NY Mets, 1963: 3.78, .185 Barry Lersch, Philaelphia, 1971: 3.78, .263 Clay Kirby, San Diego, 1969: 3.80, .259 What makes Cain?s season so special is how rare it has been in this era when pitchers don?t get as many decision as they once did. There are only six other active players who have even had a 30% or below winning percentage and an ERA under 5.00. Mark Redman, Pittsburgh, 2005: 4.90, .250 Ryan Franklin, Seattle, 2004: 4.90, .200 Jason Isringhausen, NY Mets, 1996: 4.77, .300 Nate Cornejo, Detrot, 2003: 4.67, .261 Tom Glavine, Atlanta, 1988: 4.56, .292 Mark Hendrickson, Tampa Bay/LA Dodgers, 2006: 4.21, .286 Glavine has become a 300 game winner, possibly MLB?s last, so Cain must look at how he turned his 7-17 season in 1988 into a 14-8 season in 1989.
