Sunday, Jeff Weaver tripled to lead off the top of the third inning. In the bottom of that inning, he gave up two doubles, a walk and a run.
"This seems to happen all the time," I thought to myself. "Weaver's ERA in the inning after he gets a hit must be huge."
So I spent a half an hour doing research, and here's what I found.
Weaver has 14 hits this season. In the 14 innings immediately following those hits, Weaver has allowed nine hits (three doubles and six singles), three walks, a hit Baerga and three runs, for an ERA of 1.93.
Huge.
In my defense, Weaver did allow a two-run home run in Montreal on August 26 in the inning after he reached base on an error.
