These are the games driving the Starterists crazy, the good starts that would have been complete games and shutouts in the 20th century that are six or seven shutout innings and two or three relievers now. There have already been 472 starts this season in which a pitcher left a game having thrown at least five innings with a shutout intact, against a total of 15 individual shutouts all season.
