You take out the dreadful start vs the Reds, he's got in the other 7 games a 2.31 ERA. For what was supposed to be a 5th starter, just what you would want.

I don't really believe in that ERA, or the FIP for that matter, but I'm happy for him.

Right but if I had told you back in March that Cain would be 3-1 with a 4.04 ERA/4.15 FIP- with 8 starts made 40 games into the season- where would you have thought the Giants would be right now?
