I agree that walking a batter is a bad thing and walking a lefty is even worse, don't have a big issue with that comment. I'm just trying to establish that the results aren't what defines a good or bad outing. A season is too random to get a good judge of talent from just the results, over a single start the results are just not going to tell you the story. This start by Parra was one of his better on the season, even if the result was 5 ER. His control was much better, he was using fewer pitches per at bats and other than Jones they weren't making very good contact overall.
