Even with our best efforts to devalue the pitcher win over the past decade,
there's still something special about the number 20.
虽然近年来胜投数的重要性日渐减少 但20胜还是个重要的指标
I think that's fair, even in an increasingly analytics-based world. At this
point, we know enough to understand that there are always a bevy of mitigating
factors when looking at individual pitcher wins. (You need a good lineup, you
need a good bullpen, you need a good manager and you need a fair amount of
luck.)
要拿到20胜 背后的队友很重要 帮你守成的队友很重要 还有敌人在不在休息室
当然还有运气
But the fact remains that while individual wins should be looked at with
skepticism, winning 20 games is a very noteworthy achievement. First of all:
You aren't going to win 20 games if you aren't very good. Secondly, 20 wins
usually correlates to team success, and if we aren't going to celebrate players
for contributing to their team's success, then why do we even bother watching?
I'm not going to make a case for the pitcher win in this space
