Goodbye Double Digit Winning Pitchers - A contest with a prize
Double Digit Winners are a dying breed. To qualify for a win starters must pitch 5 innings. The average start has been steadily decreasing in recent years as the number of arms in the pen have been increasing. The Brewers 10 game winner this year, Suter, comes out of the pen.
The number of ten game winners in baseball in random years are as follows: 1919...............................52............. .......over 3/team in 154 games 1956...............................48............. ........3 / team 1965...............................65............. ........3.25 / team in 162 games 1974...............................78 1983...............................85 1992...............................74 2001...............................80 2010...............................93 2015...............................70 2018...............................59............. ........less than 2 / team 2021 so far.......................54 ...................at season's end. 1.8 per team If everyone with 8 or more wins 2 games in September the final tally will be 68, but that ain't gonna happen. The first guess of the correct number of 10 or more game winners this year will win a real baseball card featuring a ten game winner. Deadline for entry is 9/12 at MN PT.

I predict that within 30 years wins becomes a secondary stat- if it is even counted at all. Scoreboards and broadcasts will show apperences, innings and relative era. And before you call me crazy, how many of us over 40 thought we would go to a game and see OBS listed next to the players names on the Jumbotron.
Wins have never been a good stat. Even when pitchers went nine and pitched every day in the 1880’s it was a bad stat. How is giving up 15 runs and being on a team that scores 16 runs equal to pitching a shutout. When pitches went nine and pitched every four days it was a bad stat. In 1968 Luis Tiant went 21-9 with a 1.60 ERA. If you can lose 9 games and still have a season ERA of 1.60 then W/L doesn’t mean much. It’s an even worse stat today. Corbin Burnes is 8-4. He has a 2.5 ERA, a whip under 1, and basically went a month into the season before he walked anyone. He literally didn’t walk anyone for his first 55+ innings. In 2018 Burnes was worse in every stat except winning percentage when he went 7-0. Wins have and always will be meaningless and we need to except that and move on |

Agreed but regardless he will already be immortalized for this season already.
And hopefully he can stay healthy and have others like it

Imagine if he gets to 50 HR to go with his 10 (I have to assume) wins. I have to doubt he will be able to repeat that.

In 1927 Babe had 17 in September against those farmers pitching in September. Ohtani needs only 18 to get to 60. Unlikely but dramatic if he gets close.

He stole home yesterday. That's worth at least 13 HRs, right?

He stole home and stole another base.
He is amazing this year (but as some one mentioned earlier can he do it again) and 22 steals on the season while hitting for power and pitching the way he is. Only thing currently keeping LA Angels in the news

Sure is nice of Madden to cherry pick his starts.
Doesn't pitch him against the Yankees, but I'm sure he will against the suckjob Rangers. |
