不過 B-R 資料庫裡面對這個「開季先發」的資格認定比較寬鬆。嚴格來講 Stigman 的紀錄純度不足，因為他這連續八場無關勝敗的開季先發場次，其實中間夾了不少場中繼後援的紀錄。如果真的就純先發的記錄來看，是由數人共同保持的開季連續六場先發無關勝負為最高紀錄。

其中，費城人先發投手 Adam Eaton 接著 Chacon 在 5/1 完成第六場無關勝敗的先發（Chacon 是在前一天的 4/30 先發第六場無關勝敗），但在 5/6 第七場先發被打爆吞下敗戰，而讓 Chacon 繼續把這項鮮記錄延伸到第九場。以下是 Eaton 本季前七場的先發記錄。

Shawn Chacon 下一次先發應該會是在 5/21，他能否繼續延伸這個記錄，可以拭目以待。
