I was comparing Carp's start with the other schmuck's RP x3 -- which was 1 IP different (I didn't need to go to decimal places, did I? :p )

Edit: You edited your post after I quoted it. :p My point being... who cares about 2 ER in 2 IP -- one could get a save easily and often in that case, if ONLY the SP had done well. My RP gave up 2 ER (big whooop!), yet, the negative points -- to me -- are disproportionate to an almost comparible start....

(Giving up 2 ER in 2 IP does NOT mean he'd've given up 2 ER EVERY 2 IP! It's a smaller sample!)
