You do know that if a pitcher comes into a game up a run, then allows a walkoff 2 RBI triple to blow the save, his WHIP would be infinity for that game right? He didnt actually get an out.
Even if it is in the top of the 9th and you retire the next three batters???? Not so much, nice math.
WHIP and to a lesser extent ERA are the the most telling stats of a reliever, not saves.
Why can't you understand that?
Because it is inaccurate. Explained already above, take a look. You need to look into stats like inherited runners stranded as well.
