The Rangers' seven-game winning streak comes to a crashing halt via a one-hit shutout and a three-game sweep by the Tigers. Still, they're 13-6 this month, and for all the talk about their upgraded defense masking a pitching staff whose performance hasn't improved radically, the staff has put up a 3.30 ERA with 11 quality starts this month. Of course, striking out a hair under five per nine during that span doesn't bode terribly well for a repeat.
Seriously. This kind of logic from Baseball Prospectus! My head hurts.

This hurts almost as much as a recent
Jeff Wilson (I think) article that essentially said “the defense is playing better behind the pitchers because the pitchers are pitching better.”
What the hell? I swear, people who don’t follow sabermetrics must think that baseball is more complicated than general relativity or quantum mechanics.
