Have to like 1911's chances in the games Lefty Grove doesn't pitch.

[Providence A's]

Yea, I have to agree there...though Earnshaw has done well IIRC (it could have been 1913 and 1914 Earnshaw)...all the other starters for 1930 have an ERA over 4, which is only ok. 1930 has a pretty good offense, so they're gonna need it looks.
