Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 3825217, member: 289"] The umpire has now admitted he blew the Conforto call but it's too late to do anything about it. Keith Hernandez said, (not an exact quote), of DeGrom: "In this day of studying teams ahead of time and having a game plan, Jake just throws his best pitches and if he's got his best stuff, game over. The problem is, the game's not over. If we are only going to ask starting pitchers to pitch the first 6 innings, it's up to the team - the batters, the fielders and bullpen - to win the game. A pitcher like Jake just gives them a head start. really, it's time to drop won-lost records and just evaluate pitchers on their own individual statistics as we do with the other players. Compare those numbers to the league norms and do the same for pitchers of the past. [/QUOTE]
