PI basics
Posted by Andy on June 15, 2009
If case you're new around here, let's take a quick look at some of the things the PI can quickly find out, using yesterday's 15-0 drubbing the Yankees gave the Mets.
Using this team pitching game finder search, we can see that this is the Yankees' 3rd shutout so far this year.
Looking deeper in that list, 305 shutouts ago was the last time the Yankees scored as many as 15 runs in such a game:

(Incidentally, they also shutout Toronto in the second game of that doubleheader.)

That's the last time they threw a shutout while scoring more than 15 runs.
You can do an individual pitching game finder for Johann Santana to see that yesterday's performance was his worst, in terms of most earned runs allowed:
