It inflates offensive statistics (avg, OPB, OPS, RBI, etc) while killing the pitchers ERA. Very stupid tbh. All the stat nerds are gonna be living off statistics that are going to be slightly flawed.
If our defense isn't going to defense then we might as well forfeit this game. It's so sad that 2 runs makes it feel like such an uphill climb in the friggin majors.
But that's the issue I'm calling out. It's a flawed strategy where you are taking out your best available pitcher who looked like your best pitcher on that day for someone worse just 3 innings into a game.
Offense being poor should have no baring on this. It's just an organization outsmarting themselves.
It's never been about our starting pitching tbh. It's always been the use of our starting pitching aka taking them out after 3 innings and obviously the lack of hitting.
