Blackburn was consistently behind in the count early in the game, but the Tigers were helping him out by swinging at bad pitches anyways. Also, I felt Silva was pretty consistent. He had the one poor year, but the other three were pretty good. He rarely dominated, but he could be counted on to keep the team in the game and give them a chance to win. You rarely felt comfortable with him on the mound because he had so many base runners, but he usually did pretty well at limiting the damage and seemed to be able to get a ground ball more often than not when he needed a double play.
