Tonight's game is proof that pitchers W/L record is worthless

Corbin goes 8 innings gives up 1 run, leaves with a lead, the team wins, but the win goes to a pitcher that got three outs.

True for tithe most part... However, Corbin is 9 & 0.

Corbin has started 14 games and the D'backs have won, I think, 13 of them. That's a quality pitcher.

9-0 instead of 13-1. The whole league knows how good he is.

How many games has he left whilst behind? I can't think of any

This was the point I was making in Cahill's last start - Collmenter pitched 6 strong innings, but didn't have the lead. Bell gave up a run and a couple base runners, but got the save.

This was debated 10 years ago when we signed Elmer Dessens.

Just wait until you get to the usefulness of ERA.

Just wait until you get to the usefulness of ERA.

If a reliever pitches full innings (which they usually do), ERA is useful. But not as useful as with a starter who goes, for example, 7 innings each start.

If a reliever comes with inherited runners, his ERA is meaningless.

Not exactly what I was meaning. Keep digging and you can find it.
