What if pitcher wins would be called something else?
First off, Jered Weaver has been woefully untalked about in the Cy chase. He should be on everyone’s short list. Now, to the topic at hand:
Maybe the reason these people still can’t fathom the thought that win and losses are dumb is the fact that they are called “wins” and “losses.” Apparently the Mariners didn’t lose 1-0 today, Felix Hernandez did. We’ve all watched Jered Weaver pitch enough this season to catch the nonsense in that statement. So let’s just call a spade a spade. The “CC for President” argument now goes like this:
CC Sabathia should win the American League Cy Young Award because he leads the league in Times He Was The Pitcher Who Last Pitched Prior To The Half-Inning When The Winning Team Took The Lead For The Last Time, Except When The Starting Pitcher Pitches Less Than Five Innings, In Which Case The Win Shall Be Awarded To The Relief Pitcher Whom The Official Scorer Deems Most Effective (THWTPWLPPTTHIWTWTTTLFTLTEWTSPPLTFIIWCTWSBATTRPWTOSDME).THWTPWLPPTTHIWTWTTTLFTLTEWTSPPLTFIIWCTWSBATTRPWTOSDME? And to think people still use VORP as the example of baseball geekiness.
