I know it's just a "monthly thing"....BUT REALLY????????? From ESPN: Ervin Santana has a right to feel snubbed, too. He didn’t win AL Pitcher of the Month despite his .77 ERA, which he lowered to .66 after Tuesday’s start. Houston’s Dallas Keuchel won the award after going 5-0 with a 1.21 ERA. Ervin Santana (@Twins) ranks first in MLB in ERA, WHIP, opponent BA, opponent OBP and opponent slugging percentage Santana is the only pitcher in MLB history to begin a season with six straight starts allowing one run and four hits or less since the mound moved to 60 feet, 6 inches in 1893, according to ESPN. In fact, he was the only pitcher to do that in five straight starts before he extended it to six on Tuesday. The Twins haven’t had a player win the player of the month award since Joe Mauer won it in May of 2009. The last Twins pitcher to win the monthly award was Francisco Liriano in April of 2010.
