Oh, the Stupid Things You See and Hear …
On a random Monday night. Jon Lester throwing 119 pitches when he’s already thrown more innings than ever before. Sure why the hell not, he’s only been Boston’s best pitcher all season long.
Thom Brenneman telling Reds viewers that strikeouts are the most overrated statistic for pitchers in baseball during an Edinson Volquez start? Sure, why the hell not. Hey, Captain Insufferable: Folks probably focus a little too much on strikeouts when more should be directed at K:BB and GB%, but using that kind of hyperbole kind of ruins your point when this horrific statistic is the holy altar of relief pitching.
