An aside I hear launch angle once more in my life I’m going to jail
It's because baseball is so damn boring that even baseball fans think statistics are more interesting than the game. In baseball, the perfect game is one in which nothing at all happens.why do people care about trajectories and velocities of homers now?
distance is the only thing that matters IMHO

This is exactly my take. There was some instagram post about someone's batted ball exit velocity of 108mph... on a ground ball in the infield. I mean, W T F was the point of that???It's because baseball is so damn boring that even baseball fans think statistics are more interesting than the game.

How about snot rocket exit velocity next time?
David wells? NFW.
21 Seasons to get 239 wins.
That a little over 11 wins per season.
Plus that ugly 4.13 ERA
Good pitcher, but the HOF isn't there for good pitchers.
Era isn’t the end all be all, unless it’s a vacuum, David wells pitched big games against pitchers on par or better than him and more often than not he was better that day. He’s the ideal 2/3 you want in an CLS/ws era too myopic
ERA is about the closest thing to end all be all that you can have in any sport.
Incorrect.... it's not even the most important stat for a pitcher.
Walks And Hits Per Inning Pitched (WHIP)
LOL, quit being silly. I don't give a shit how many walks or hits a pitcher has, the one that has the lowest ERA is pure and simple the one that did the best for his team. Do you even know how baseball games are scored? Its the RUNS the enemy has versus the RUNS your team has. Not hits or walks LOL. Don't be so dense man....
LOL. You are picking some arbitrary statistic YOU think if important (or it sounds like did not even come up with that nonsense yourself, you heard it from someone else who was trying to be cool spouting that nonsense and you decided to run with it LOL). I am going with the statistic the GAME thinks is important. Its not perfect, for a few reasons, but far better than hits or walks LOL! Under that theory a pitcher who allowed three hits in a game but all of those were dingers is better than a pitcher who allowed seven hits in a game but allowed none to score. Who would you say had a better game LOL? You can't make this shit up...
You just got OWNED lol. Next time, before you hear someone on the radio or TV say something, before you decide to steal it to try and sound cool, you should actually give it some critical thought before spewing it everywhere. It could be, like here, absolute nonsense.
Whatever chief ..... more like you just self-owned.
Do a little reading.... you might as well rate a pitcher based on wins/losses as going exclusively on ERA.
EDIT: Also did I hit a nerve on the "fantasy life" thing Walter Mitty?
