I wonder if there is any other pitcher that has more wins than Wang in the last 2 years?
Maybe St Dick could answer that for us.

thats all this guy says

yup and the fact that he just won a game 1-0 proves that he can win a low scoring game as well.
I made this thread to satisfy my haters.
Glad everyone is doing alright.

So playoff performance is where it is at ... let's ignore the regular season and have the playoffs be the barometer for each player ...
(then I guess ARod sucks!)

Currently #34 on ERA list this season.
That's far from top 5.

I have come to the conclusion that I dont care if wang in top 5, top 25, or in the bottom 600...he gets wins and thats what matters to me most rather than ERA or run support or his stats. From a fan view anyway. When you are a capper, these other stats should matter and yes you will take them into account...but for now I am happy hes getting the W's and I'll take them anyway I can get them.

Wang will be the worst 250 game winner in the history of the game. Oh, and just for giggles, he is the fastest to 50 wins since Dwight Gooden ....
(watch out -- Don Juan will be here soon saying wins don't matter when evaluating a pitcher)

a lot of players haven't even been to the playoffs, so should we discredit their careers too?

are you that dumb
follow the conversation
wins are not an indicator of how good a pitcher is
only how good an offense is

I don't even know why they credit pitchers with wins and losses anyway. They should just give an individual win to each hitter when a team is victorious --
(since the win stat is so meaningless when it comes to evaluating pitchers, that is)

Why do pitchers get credit for wins and for losses? It's really stupid to keep that statistic, no?
Those pitchers you mentioned would have won 25 games easy. Because every time a team scores 900+ runs, their best pitcher wins 25 games ...
(actually, I think I just lied -- doesn't happen very often, does it?)

it does if the pitcher is good or great
which wang isnt
nobody is scared of wang
no hitters worry about facing
just ask the redsox or indians last playoffs
wang is nothing special

well lets see, Peavy had 1 run today and lost at home.
Again, give me Wang in the NL in the worst offensive league in baseball in the most pitcher friendly park and then we are on an even playing field.
Or better yet, lets see how Peavy or any of your top 10 do in the AL East.
