Jason Marquis gave up 12+ runs in TWO starts last year.
And we must pay respects to Mike Oquist who has the lowest game score of any starting pitcher in the last 50 years. Oquist scored a -21 for this outing in 1998 against the Yankees while pitching for Oakland. Garland's outing today was a -8. Or possibly -11, (it was indeed -11) I lost track after a while.
To think that Garland could have that bad of an outing and still sport an ERA under 4.00. A couple more games like that and he will be close to the PECOTA prediction for him, though.
I would use a different adjective for Chad.
But it's not polite.
