Astros RHP Zach Greinke delivers wicked
stuff at Rickey Henderson Field yesterday.
From Monday’s Houston Chronicle: OAKLAND,
Calif. — The advent of analytics and
advanced statistics is shifting the thinking
of many pitchers. Some no longer take pride
in piling wins… “I wouldn’t say there’s many
pitchers that would say that’s the No. 1
most important stat for them,” Zack Greinke
said. “But if you and the team are winning,
it’s the most important. It doesn’t
necessarily say you’re pitching the best,
but it’s the most important.” There you have
an ultimate truth about pitching, and
baseball. The Houston Astros have the only
two pitchers with 200 career victories still
at their peak, as Sabbathia limps through
his final year. Photo: Lachlan
