Should W-L for pitchers just be phased out entirely?

    I would agree with that. Same for hockey goalies. There are a lot of factors that determine what team wins or losses a game. Why assign W-L to one player?

    Our society voluntarily gobbles up shit such as "Honey Boo-Boo" ... wins and losses ain't hurtin' nobody or makin' anybody any dumber.

    Eh, fuck walks. Make them count as hits again.

    If we are going to start deleting pointless threads, why does this motherfucker survive?

    I agree. I liked yours better. We were headed toward the obvious conclusion that there is very little difference between Punto and Cabrera when you think about it.

    Dick's ideas are meaningful things.
    Teachable moments, for us all.

    It provides us with some bill levity or some mike hilarity in any event.

    Max Scherzer became the 5th pitcher ever to start 18-1 or 19-0. Means squat.

    A great injustice of humanity that the world is unaware of Chris Sale's superior ERA+. I cry myself to sleep sometimes.

    If I remember correctly, walks should count as 0.7 hits.
