I don't know which pitcher it was about, but I heard a commentator say a line like "He has an 0-2 record and xxx ERA in his career in games in which a postseason series could be clinched."

 

For fuck's sake, stop coming up with statistics based on a sample of two (two!) games. Jesus.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. . Too bad he didn't win though.

Here's the thing, starting pitchers are basically only playing like twice in Best of 7 series. Most of them don't even have a shot at two series clinching appearances. Baseball is all about the numbers these days anyway, launch angle & exit velocity must be the most meaningless stats ever. Not to mention the infamous Wins Above Replacement which compares the numbers to a player that doesn't even exist. This is just insane in all aspects.

I know, and that's fine, but then don't come up with stats and make it seem like they mean anything in such a tiny sample :facepalm:

It's more complicated than this. Sandy Koufax started 7 post-season games and allowed 6 runs. 6 runs in 7 games yet his win-loss record is 4-3. It's basically impossible in the modern day.

 

Bob Gibson had 9 post-season starts with 8 complete games. He went 3-0 in 1967 World Series. Again, that's basically iimpossible to replicate anymore.

 

Most post-season starters don't even get to 10 games in the modern era so if someone has a chance to start in three series clinchers that's a very low percentage achievement. You just don't get the big sample sizes anymore without a proper dynasty in MLB. Astros, Dodgers and Yankees are the three most reliable post-season picks which can qualify as modern day dynasties but basically in name only. SF Giants have dropped the ball lately after winning three WS in a span of six years.

probably they were talking of Verlander...

 

he has won everything a pitcher can win in terms of individual trophies and rankings, he has won the world series, he has amazing stats through is whole career (playoffs included)...but he's 0-5 in world series starts...

 

it happens...it doesn't mean anything...

 

the same Clayton Kershaw, arguably the best pitcher in baseball in the last 30 years (at least), comes October has well below the average numbers (not to mention that basically he's one of the main factors of the Nats winning this year's world series)...

by the way, congrats to the Nats for this really unexpected achievement...

 

p.s. Steven Strasburg was named WS MVP...well deserved, I'd say (even if Rendon could have something to say about it, too)...

 

now, we have to wait until March, 26th 2020 for the MLB to start the next season...:cry:

      Thanks for the amazing work on the spreadsheet. If my eye's read correctly you expect  to get a quota in Sprint (M) canoeing . This will be historic, if time permits could you elaborate a bit please. What are the chances we get to hold on to the quota place ? Is their a risk of missing out? Thanks! I don't follow canoeing much so had a hard time simulating the qualification scenarios. Thanks!

      Yes, everyone is Orbán-supporter who doesn't believe Ukraine is snow white! How will change GDP if the price of the petrol increases? Because the main pipeline is shut down! And there is no any problem according by the EU!

      Your favorite moments at the Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026

      By orangeman · Posted

      Although it was a terrible Olympics for Canada, and my two favourite sports (Hockey and Short Track) really didn't work out for us, there were a couple of fun times.    -Women's Pursuit team winning gold because while it was not unexpected at all, it was still a great triumph against an amazing adversary.    -Dubreuil getting a surprise bronze in speed skating 500m.    -Really all of speed skating, Canada and otherwise.    -I really want to say Dubois getting gold in short track, but the whole thing was a mess.    -The last two ends of the men's curling gold medal game.    -Kingsbury getting gold. But it was more relief than excitement, unfortunately.    -I really like the luge relay. Canada was not involved, unfortunately, but it's always fun to watch.    -Men's freeski big air final was nuts! In all the good ways. That was truly the highest level of competition I've seen in a very long time.    -The dog crossing the finish line in cross country, which should have been the meme of the Olympics (not that...other thing).

      Apparent Gu and Atkin do not like each other at all anymore. They were good freinds a few years ago but now hate one another.  I’m not sure Gu and Li Fanghui like each other either that much.
