Adam Rubin with the best pitching explanation to the Advanced Stats crowd

As many of you know I hate “advanced” stats and think people are just looking to make up things like Defensive Runs Saved, this new (?_ Game Score crap or the thing where we invent a hypothetical minor leaguer who doesn’t even exist (redunandt) and decide he is better than Murphy.

So I truly loved this tweet I woke up to.

You pitch to win the game.  Sometimes that takes a 1-0 shutout.  Sometimes you get up 7 early and can just fire fastballs down the middle, win 7-4 but save the bullpen.  Nice job Adam!
