Best lefty off all time? My vote is Koufax!

Okay, you pick Koufax to win one game, and out of the dugout steps the Sandy of 1960, when he was 8-13 with a 3.91 ERA. Good luck.

Why don't you just say Koufax was the best ever because if you needed to win a Game 7, you want Koufax on the day he threw a perfect game.

Wins and losses are meaningless of course, and ERA is so passe. I am sure our data scientist has some metric like the square root of the average velocity plus 3 times the average number of rotations on the curve ball divided by the percentage of balls put in play minus the average launch angle of extra base hits surrendered.

Yes. Something like that.

We eagerly await your advanced statistical argument for why all the traditional and SABRmetric stats are wrong, and Sandy is the GOAT. I for one am thrilled all statistical conversations can be immediately resolved by your authority. Let’s hear this statistical basis you’ve developed.
