Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 4289851, member: 289"] Peterson was great today, getting 21 outs and giving up 4 hits, striking out 8 with no walks. He gave up two runs and didn't get the decision as the Mets lost. I continue to believe that we need to re-think pitching statistics and eliminate won-lost records as almost nobody completes game anymore. Any pitching achievement or failure is a team effort. Just keep track of batters faced, hits and walks and earned runs. Cy Young faced 29,565 batters, gave up 7,092 hits, 1,217 runs and 2,147 earned runs. His on base percentage is .281. His earned run percentage is .258. Tom Seaver: 19,369 batters, 3,971 hits, 1,390 walks and 1,521 earned runs: .277 on base and .284 earned runs. Jake DeGrom: 4,978 batters, 981 hits, 295 walks, 350 earned runs: .256 on based .274 earned runs. David Peterson, (before today: 687, 139+75/76 = .311obp .355erp [/QUOTE]
