Reply to "WHY NUMBERS MEAN NOTHING"

Numbers or stats, philly? The numbers (of runs) in that game told a losing story for the team, but a quality effort by the pitcher. So the numbers meant nothing. Were recruiters to only look for winning teams, the kid might never get a look.

Then there are the stats. TR said the runs were unearned, and had he been keeping the book, the pitcher's ERA would have been zip. One of the frequently-discussed problems here is that the hs book can be very unreliable; perhpas the scorekeeper didn't count the E's as E's so that again, numbers mean nothing.
