I don't see your point. What I base my judgement on are individual games where the starter is still going strong and they pull him anyways. Perhaps Mazzone feels the same way and leaves them in longer when they're pitching well and pulls them when they're not and the averages you end up with or just averages, nothing more. I have no problem with pulling a pitcher who is no longer effective, but I do have a problem when they're pulled just because they've reached the magic pitch count number. Your point would probably be better served by some variation data. A pitcher with little variation is probably under a pitch count, perhaps the Braves have a great deal of variation.
