ND Term in MLB

Question

Can anybody explain why so many matches are not count for starting pitcher record (ND) - I.E. Craig Stammen from WAS has 4-7 record in 2009 although he was a starter 19 times - sometimes as a fav, ussualy as a dog - but I don't understand why 8 times is not count for record. Is it counted for Era at all? Im confused.
In this case record calculated this way means nothing for me - I must just check performance in last games because I don't records calculated that way - in almost half games in Result it is written ND. Why?

Please explain me why this is so and how to use this kind of pitcher representation

A no decision is handed out when the pitchers that entered the game before or after that starter are responsible for the loss or win.

In Stammen's case you would have to blame a weaker bullpen in Washington for that.
