What's up, Blow Jay community? I just have to vent for a minute here. I've always been obsessed with baseball stats growing up. I'd buy baseball cards and memorize the data on them. But I've been recently been having real beef with the "win" criteria. Can anyone tell me how someone labelled a starter like Glasnow, can pitch 4.1 innings with 0 runs allowed and leading 3-0 when he left the game, is less deserving than f***ing Drake who only pitched 2 innings and allowed a run, leaving the game at 3-2? All while an "opener" can pitch 2 innings to start the game under the same circumstances and get the win?! The stat is pointless because there's no consistency.
Also, don't get me started on save, whip, or RBI statistics! Not to mention assists in hockey. Two players can get an assist on one play???? It's pure lunacy.
Looking forward to a drunk Spanky repost.
