It was said that Teddy Ballgame never argued with the HP chUMP on a bad call. He would just glance at him. I wonder how Ted would react if the umpiring was as putrid then as it is now?
E-Rod is a perfect example of not just employing a pitcher's W/L record when evaluating his strengths and weaknesses. In fact, W/L may be the most deceiving of all pitcher stats.
I always give pitchers credit, whether they're on the SOX or the opposition. I'll just post this for the 1000th time; Good pitching beats good hitting.
