"You can have the best defense ever and still have an ERA over 10, a WHIP over 2, and 0 strikeouts. Same goes for the bullpen. The bullpen doesn't decide your ERA, WHIP, and strikeouts. Think before you start running your mouth. You don't know what you're talking about, and have no knowledge of the game"
first i'd like to say that arguing between zambrano and harang is like debating between the backstreet boys and nsync, it just doesn't resonate for me.
that being said evidently robray is the pot calling the kettle black. defense has no effect on strikeouts but if you think for a moment that a great defensive team can't affect any pithcers era or whip then you are the one that would have no knowledge of the game of baseball. all it takes is one great defensive play to get an out that would otherwise be a hit. after that the pitcher may be out of the inning as opposed to who knows what might happen. how many future hits and runs did ozzie smith (for example) prevent in his career? it's a rhetorical question but think about it.
i don't mean to be harsh but talk about not knowing what someone is talking about....
