Elephant Rumblings: Blackburn details his 2022 success, how his curveball has changed

It’s the dang weekend, Athletics Nation!

Paul Blackburn has been the A’s biggest success story so far in 2022. Going from a couple appearances over the last few years, including 9 starts in 2021, to now already surpassing his career numbers in games started and innings pitched over a season. On top of the reliability in the rotation Blackburn is in good company stats-wise, currently sitting 7th in the AL ERA leaderboard above the likes of the Jays’ Kevin Gausman and Boston’s Nathan Eovaldi.

Who better to dig into how well this year has been going than Blackburn himself?
