1988 was a long time ago ... Thus, Dodger fans are becoming more and more salty

I feel your pain, bro.

JoMax

thanks, man. always good to know I'm not alone.

It probably doesn't. He's probably simply stating, and correctly, I might add,

LeftOfNormal

9/2/15 4:41pm

6 good starts? Lol

Ad nauseum

9/2/15 5:00pm

pretty much sums it up.

JOPE

9/2/15 6:38pm

And I'll have you know, that wasn't easy for me!

LeftOfNormal

Why are you linking to a post where you declare victory by statistical arguments

BoiseBlue

9/2/15 4:57pm

Wins and ERA are 1940s stats? Lol

Ad nauseum

9/2/15 5:49pm

They aren't the best stats for determining how good a pitcher is.

Shimmy

9/2/15 6:58pm

Please tell me better stats than era and wins

Ad nauseum

9/2/15 7:23pm

WHIP

Shimmy

9/2/15 7:51pm

LOLOLOLOLOL

Ad nauseum

9/2/15 9:54pm

You keep saying I said ERA doesn't matter but I didn't

JOPE

9/2/15 8:23pm

When your argument gets weak you fall back to "career". LOL.

Ad nauseum

9/2/15 10:12pm

Since the all star break Kershaw has a 1.02 ERA, Arietta has a 1.03

JOPE

9/2/15 10:29pm

Still trying? LOL

Ad nauseum

9/2/15 10:43pm

Best pitchers aren't defined by the quality of their top end stuff

molodyets

9/2/15 5:21pm

True. This why you need to further your knowledge

Ad nauseum

9/2/15 5:45pm

so come back when he has more than one phenomenal month.

molodyets

9/2/15 6:24pm

Leads majors in wins, second in era

Ad nauseum

9/2/15 7:36pm

He isn't the best pitcher in baseball

molodyets

9/2/15 7:51pm

for some reason, that is difficult to understand

JOPE

9/2/15 8:47pm

I'm not talking about career. I'm talking NOW. 2015.

Ad nauseum

9/2/15 10:01pm

Your Dodger stadium claim has been proven wrong, Greinke is having the 11th best

JOPE

9/2/15 10:14pm

What is Greinke's ERA away from Dodger Stadium again?

Ad nauseum

9/2/15 10:24pm

You realize that he literally just gave you info adjusting for stadium?

molodyets

9/2/15 10:27pm

No, I gave him the INFO

Ad nauseum

9/2/15 10:47pm

hahahaha, your logic is so bad, I gave you the actual stat that tracks this

JOPE

9/2/15 10:49pm

No Jope, his record in August is perfect in every way.

molodyets

9/2/15 11:02pm

I gave you an apples to apples comparison and you ignored it. LOL.

Ad nauseum

9/3/15 12:34am

Ok, now I think you havnt even seen the stats, Greinke is #1 in ERA

JOPE

9/3/15 12:50am

Now you are discussing total innings pitched? LOLOLOL

Ad nauseum

9/3/15 1:10am

Basing any argument regarding the dominance of a pitcher on wins is laughable.

Shimmy

9/2/15 6:57pm

It's like saying Robert Horry is better than Jordan cuz he has more rings

WDaddy

9/2/15 6:59pm

Jordan > Malone and Robert Horry > Antoine Carr

Ad nauseum

9/2/15 10:14pm

I said wins and ERA are most important

Ad nauseum

9/2/15 7:18pm

Probably bothers Jope because Arrieta isn't the best pitcher in baseball

WDaddy

9/2/15 6:57pm

Fortunately, I base mine on stats....not emotion.

Ad nauseum

9/2/15 10:26pm

The only thing that sucks more than baseball is your take on baseball.
