Just getting home from my game. Pissed that I beat out two infield hits but still got called out... See that Hanley stranded a pair in the 1st, and that Kelly is his old self, getting himself into jams.

Is there a stat that adjusts ERA, WHIP, K, BB, etcc based on the hitters faced? ie, giving up 5 runs to the Jays/Orioles is vastly different than giving up 5 runs to SD?

 

No stat that's commonly available. All you can do is look at team-by-team splits for individual pitchers.

ump says "enough of this ********, I have dinner plans."

 

If you're talking about my umpire, he was just dumb. The first play was a tie, which should go to me since "tie goes to the runner." The second one was worse. I was already past the bag and starting to slow down when I hear the ball hit the glove. Still called out. We would have taken the lead because that was the 3rd out and we had a guy on 3rd.

Nah, the ump at the Sox game.

I may have to work on an algorithm to do that. It still seems silly to me to try to compare NL and AL pitchers (or just even between different divisions) without quantizing the inherent differences. Something to take the guess work out and make something at least somewhat definitive.

Well, there's park adjustments and season adjustments. ERA+ adjusts for a lot of basic stuff. I think that 'strength-of-opponent' data you're talking about can be found somewhere too. Stat gurus can slice and dice just about everything now if you can make sense of their numbers.
