laughable.

Giving up .1 more baserunner per ip is giving up 1 full baserunner for every 10 innings pitched so roughly 7 more baserunners over a 70ip season. About one more baserunner a month. I wouldn't expect you to understand the difference though.

Might want to get that brain checked. We're talking about regular seasons, not post seasons. LOL


LOL right back atcha, you didn't specify, you said season. If you had a dynamite reg season and pulled a Lidge in the playoffs, I would factor that into your "season", but again, we are going with your criteria so be it.

So you have to respect those that managed the .85 WHIPs more than the 1.00 WHIPs. Its that much more impressive.


Actually it is splitting hairs, both pitchers were dominating. What if you were asked to intentionally walk a batter more often than the other guy, guess you are screwed. What if you got more garbage called ball 4's over the season, sucks to be you. Have a bonehead 3bman trip over his feet and miss an easy popup in foul territory for out number 3, then the batter reaches, still effects your whip as there is no "earned" whip like era. Have a bad ruling by an ump and call a play a hit instead of an error more often than the other guy, there goes your whip edge. Have 2 fielders call a pop up and then neither catches it for a hit, oh my god, there is a hit, kiss that .7whip good bye, now you are saddled with a .8whip. 60-70ip is a very small sample.

The point was to limit it to closers.

Thanks for finally announcing that after saying relievers several times and asking for clarification.


Incorrect about your save percentage. If you allow the runner on base to score, that does not effect your 1.50 era.
38svs? Out of 38 awesome, out of 44, pedestrian.

Your method would rather have the guy that went 36/45 in save opps with a 1.87era and .85 whip over a guy who went 50/50 saves with a 2.25era and 1.00 cuz saves are so team dependent.


Come in top of 9 and with a guy on 1st and allow a triple to lose the lead, oh well, no harm done on your scale, still a 1 whip and no penalty for the blown save.

I wouldn't expect you to understand any of this though as you clearly need to "get your brain checked"
