Object Lesson - chasing wins

#1 Post by da_big_kid_94 »

Adding one more voice to the futility of chasing wins ... in the last 24 hours, in a weekly transaction league, I have had 4 pitchers (Ely, Monasterios, Jackson and Kenrdricks) throw a total of 28 innings - during that span, they gave up a total of 11 hits, 7 walks .... and ONE run (earned) ... and the sum total of ZERO wins amongst them. A total equaling 3+ complete games ...with one run allowed ... and no wins to show for it.
These are my views based on my own opinions and observations - your mileage may vary.

On Tuesday alone I had Haren (0 ER, no decision), Hammel (1 ER, no decision) Bonderman x 2 leagues (3 ER, lost 3-2), and Lilly (3 ER, lost 3-2). All the starts were either won by the bullpen or losses by one run. 38.1 IP, 2.34 ERA, 0 W. It's frustrating, but the ERA and WHIP are a nice consolation. Really makes you want to slap the guys that have Clippard and Marshall though, doesn't it?

OUCH, that's gonna leave a mark
