WAR hammer for nail question

By Tangotiger

Dave does a good job of contrasting WAR to the other metrics, and why it has particular uses.  My favorite part though is when he dismisses the Pitcher Wins as an answer, since the question is one that no one asks to begin with:

How many times did that pitcher complete at least five innings, leave the game with his team having outscored the opponent through the point at which he was removed, and then watch his relievers finish the game for him without surrendering the lead that his teammates helped create in the first place??

"Think of this place as something like a college classroom. We’re in charge, we pick the topics, we set the rules, and we try to foster as much intelligent discourse as possible. If this isn't your cup of tea, there are plenty of other sites out there for you to try—we're not going to be for everybody, and we're not going to try to appeal to the masses." —USSM
