It’s too early to start speaking in historical perspective, but Cole’s ERA is now 1.37. If we get to the point where we are looking at historical perspective it will be important to do the comparison using ERA+. I never saw this drop in scoring coming, to be honest. Not to this degree. MLB is taking an awful lot of liberties with the game and equipment hoping to fool us into believing the product is booming. I’m so doing, they are damaging the product, perhaps irreparably... Even with offenses crashing, Cole's ERA+ is 249. And Kluber is 130, with Monty and German right on the line at 101 and 100. ERA+ was one of my favorite new toys when The Geek Squad began devising these things 20 or so years ago. It actually enhances, rather than obscuring, understanding of the game for a typical fan. Same here. Though it carries with it many of the same issue ERA does, it adds the perspective of contemporary comparison across generations. True of OPS, though too. OPS misses out on base running completely, which is a bit sinful in my view. Maybe the one enhancement stat for pitching that they’ve missed would be FIP+. Sorry this post is a bit disjointed. Not fully awake yet... |

Looking good in your pic inger! Didn’t come out the way I had hoped as an Avatar. I wanted the pic, but not the signature below it, which is illegible on the forum anyway. Oh well. First time after all these years that I ever posted an avatar, and it turns out I’m my own avatar. It’s not like my gorgeous looks were a secret around here though. |

I tried to send as a medium file and it wouldn’t take it (file too large) so I re-sent as a small file, and this is what happened.
If you can fix it, sure. That signature has my Phone # on it, so that should go. I’d like it to be just the head shot, if you can.
