Also I think we look at the wrong stats. Because I dismiss ERA outright the rubes say "Oh WJ thinks Ross sucks because he doesnt like his low ERA". Any reliever coming in with outs on the board will have a lower ERA nnaturally which is why it's a bullshit stat. Same with pitcher wins and losses. Is Graveman the worst starter because he had the most losses? No. I'm not proud of anything regarding wins losses and ERA because I don't believe in those as measuring sticks. I'm not going to fake proudness in a 9-0 record if I don't think the pitcher record means anything.

No- we think Will James thinks Ross sucks because you keep putting out a stat that you say proclaims that Ross is lucky and then tweet it out to him.
