	Starting pitcher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In baseball or softball, a starting pitcher, often abbreviated as starter, is the pitcher who pitches the first pitch to the first batter of a game.
		Starting pitchers usually have at least three good pitches—a fastball, a breaking pitch such as a curveball, and a changeup.
		Well-known starting pitchers that are currently active in MLB include veterans Greg Maddux, Curt Schilling, Roger Clemens, Randy Johnson, David Wells, and Pedro Martinez, and such rising stars as Dontrelle Willis, Johan Santana, Josh Beckett, Barry Zito, Roy Halladay, Kerry Wood, and Jon Garland.

	Pitcher - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In baseball, the pitcher is the player who throws the baseball from the pitcher's mound toward the catcher to begin each play, with the goal of retiring a batter who attempts to either make contact with it or draw a walk.
		Keeping a foot on the pitcher's rubber at the center of the pitcher's mound, which is 60 feet 6 inches from home plate, the pitcher throws the baseball to the catcher, who is positioned behind home plate and catches the ball.
		The starting pitcher begins the game and he may be followed various relief pitchers, such as the long reliever, the left-handed specialist, the setup man, and/or the closer.

	The Life of a Starting Pitcher
		The pitchers would be so sharp with their control that they’d be hitting the fl of the fl all day long.
		For starting pitchers, their time between outings is filled with a variety of chores, most of which go unseen by the fans.
		One philosophy centers on throwing twice in between starts, while the other is based on one throwing session on the side during the four off-days.

		If a pitcher walked 78 batters and struck out 123 in 200 real-life innings, an accurate game would produce similar totals if the pitcher also threw 200 innings in the computer season and was used in a similar fashion (same role, same home park, same quality of opposition, and so on).
		A pitcher facing an ordinary lineup can scatter nine hits and three walks and give up only one run, because there are enough outs to end rallies before the hits and walks add up to runs.
		Pitchers approaching their fatigue limits are given fewer opportunities to work out of jams.

		Since he was a relief pitcher during most of his career, he managed to qualify for the ERA title only twice.
		The 1958 Indians let Wilhelm start six games, but his stay in Cleveland was shortened because none of the Indians catchers could handle his knuckleball.
		In 1959, Wilhelm started the season 9-0 with an ERA under 1.00, prompting former manager Leo Durocher to express some regrets: "If I ever had any idea he could go the distance like that I'd have used him as a starter when I had him on the Giants.

		The winningest pitcher in the major leagues from 1988 through 1995, he posted an earned run average under 1.80 for two successive years (1994-95), the first time anyone had done so since Walter Johnson in 1918-19.

		Jason Schmidt, Giants: Schmidt was the best starting pitcher in baseball last year as he led the majors in WHIP, ranked second in ERA and fourth in strikeouts and also won 17 games.
		Brandon Webb, Diamondbacks: Webb was a solid pitcher most of the time in the minor leagues, but there wasn't really anything to suggest that he'd be as good in the majors as he was last year.

	Reds' first move of winter produces starting pitcher
		Ortiz fell victim to a surplus of pitchers in Anaheim last season and was shunted back and forth from the rotation to the bullpen, making 14 starts and the first 20 relief appearances of his professional career.
		He went 5-7 with a 4.43 ERA and made it clear on several occasions that he'd rather be elsewhere in the starting rotation.
		Considering the market that has been established for those pitchers so far this offseason, it's likely Ortiz will be among the five highest-salaried Reds for 2005 when he signs.

		Mariners pitching coach Brian Price: "He is a tremendous power pitcher, and yet he throws his off-speed pitches with as much accuracy as his fastball.
		I was a low-ball pitcher against all batters, even the ones supposed to be good low-ball hitters.
		But when I started losing it, I had to come up with some kind of a curveball, which I'd never had before.

		Evaluating and monitoring your pitchers' individual outings during the season is an important roster management exercise.
		Any pitcher who averages 3 or more over the course of the season is probably performing admirably.
		No matter how many runs a pitcher allows, if he scores high on the PQS scale, he has hurled a good game in terms of his base skills.

	Mariners Wheelhouse - A Seattle Mariners blog
		Assessing starting pitching is difficult because much of a pitcher's record is determined by factors that are beyond his control.
		The difference between good and bad pitchers is that bad pitchers barely eke out an advantage in their war with hitters, whereas the great power pitchers generate many outs without any help at all from their fielders.
		Many people concerned with pitcher health believe that when considering pitch counts, the stress of the pitching situation is also important; pitches made when a pitcher is in a jam are significantly more stressful than pitches made under low stress conditions.

		Santana is equally effective at home or on the road, and easily vaults over the old standby as the #1 starting pitcher to own in fantasy baseball.
		Still logged 200 innings with his usual 34 starts, but Moyer’s freefall lends credence to the theory on how even the best in their profession can hit the wall for good after age 40.

		There's been talk, and admittedly it appears to have been started, if not by Garciaparra himself, then by a reporter asking a direct question about it, that Nomar could be re-signed by the Cubs and used in left field.
		The frame started with a walk to Adam Everett, and next up was the offensively appalling Brad Ausmus, to be followed by Pettitte's spot in the order.
		Although they would need to go 5-1 to secure the "winning season" they appear to be chasing, I can't think of a better way to start the march than a quick set against Pittsburgh.
