Draft Acuña, they said. He's gonna be awesome, they said.

Fun fact of the day;

Verlander and Bauer pitched 14 scoreless innings yesterday.

Neither got a win.

Just a friendly reminder of why wins for pitchers is the most overrated/useless "stat" in baseball.

Zach Britton pitched one inning and got a win. Again, overrated/useless stat.

Smoak's solo jack off in the third inning was all the Blue Jays were able to muster against starter Julio Teheran...

Phrasing?

I see your Verlander and Bauer and raise you a deGrom. 8 more scoreless innings tonight without getting a win to lower his ERA to 1.68 on the year. The dude has 5 W’s all year! For frame of reference, Zach Godley and his 4.8 ERA has 10 wins. So I second Jax’s take on this one.

If anyone actually has depth at catcher I'm open to parting with a pitcher.

My catcher has been on the DL for 3 weeks now and I am just rolling without one. That’s my depth.

I noticed. I have him in my roto league and probably should be doing the same thing.

I have the corpse of Buster Posey and then an empty spot should I trade him

I am open to trading him

Can someone explain to me how a pitcher earns a win and a hold in the same game?

Schultz came in the game ahead 9-6. Pitched 2.2 and Romo pitched the final out. Shouldn’t the win go to Kolarek, who pitched the 6th?

no fucking idea

The Rays rotational stuff has really educated us all on just how archaic the rules are for officially scoring pitchers

The counting stats of pitchers, other than K's, become more worthless in my eyes every passing year.

He can't. I'm guessing whatever you saw has since been corrected because it just shows a win now.

When the starter leaves before the minimum 5 innings, the "winning pitcher" is up to the official scorer (provided the lead is never relinquished). Kolarek gave up 4 runs in 1 inning, while Shultz pitched 2.2 of shutout ball and was awarded the win.
