24th best WHIP amoung SP this season. Stellar! - groiny Aug 13, 12:02 44
- [deleted] 38
  - Liriano has been stellar, but that BABIP is in line with his batted ball profile. (nm) - musubi Aug 13, 12:12 30
    - If you gave me one stat to analyze pitchers, it would be WHIP. - groiny Aug 13, 12:16 3
      - [deleted] 2
        
        oh, and for you from BB, the reason the AL Central is always tightly contested.... - groiny Aug 13, 12:21 1
        
        [deleted]
    - Whoops. Looked at the wrong number. It is a little inflated. Still, it's in line. That HR number isn't. - musubi Aug 13, 12:15 3
      - so you ignore the runners allowed per 9 innings? - groiny Aug 13, 12:20 2
        
        You don't ignore it, but it's not the end all be all. Single point analysis rarely works in baseball. Liriano has been fabulous at many things. - musubi Aug 13, 12:23 1
        
        which I gave him credit for. 2 HR in 140 innings is insane. - groiny Aug 13, 12:27
    - [deleted] 21
      - And his LD% is something like ~20+, which typically correlates to a .320 BABIP +/- .010. - musubi Aug 13, 12:18 1
        
        [deleted]
      - Look at Price, Weaver, Pavano, Lee, Cahill, Danks, CC...... - groiny Aug 13, 12:17 18
        
        Pavano? Cahill? CC? Really? You're gonna hang your hat on those? Liriano's easily been better than all three. Easily. (nm) - musubi Aug 13, 12:21 16
        
        It is like you guys are looking at XBox stats or something...... - groiny Aug 13, 12:26 11
        
        Weaver and Danks (maaaaaybe CC) at least have an arguement. Cahill and Pavano? Nuh-uh. (nm) - musubi Aug 13, 12:32 9
        
        You might want to look at Cahill's numbers again, and Pavano too while you ar at it. - groiny Aug 13, 12:35 8
        
        [deleted] 7
        
        Cahill allows a .192 batting average against, 11 homers in 133 innings - groiny Aug 13, 12:43 6
        
        Cahill is very good. Liriano has been better. (nm) - musubi Aug 13, 12:48 1
        
        oh sweet jesus. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 13, 12:50

        your ability to circumvent a tried and true stat is amazing. - groiny Aug 13, 12:49
        
        [deleted]
        
        I just looked at Price's numbers. He's Liriano-lite. not sure why you think he's better than Liriano. - musubi Aug 13, 12:26 3
        
        Because he's a Commodore. - TFox Aug 13, 12:27 2

  - You can site anything you want, but there are 2 AL SP who have a WHIP under 1.00 - groiny Aug 13, 12:10 6
    - [deleted] 5
      - nothing hard to comprehend at all. - groiny Aug 13, 12:14 4
        
        Think of it this way: you know how on offense there are two primary components: getting on base and hitting for power? - musubi Aug 13, 12:28 3
        
        Yes, I know. His slugging against is solid. - groiny Aug 13, 12:37 2
        
        If he had a 1.5 WHIP. Maybe. The difference between 1.26, 1.24 and 1.25 is trivial. (Liriano vs Pavano vs Sabathia) - musubi Aug 13, 12:46 1
        
        right, but the difference between 1.26 and .98 or 1.07 is huge. - groiny Aug 13, 12:47
- you could have said Pavano, and I might have believed you. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 13, 12:05
- But he is right. -- nm - Spawn Aug 13, 12:03 3
