If we had time and energy we could ID an infinite number of scenarios

but this one case of Cobb and Colome was all that Tampa had in mind, and it's a terrifically valid point that current rules completely overlook.

But to answer the situation you proposed here would require the weighted stat to be flexible enough (somehow? I have no clue) to reward players of record in later outcomes of a given game.

Agree. And there are closers that have a 1-2 record at the end of the yr. -- HokieinTampa 06/28/2017 12:59PM

I couldn't agree more, and this has nothing to do with knowing how -- PhotoHokieNC 06/28/2017 07:40AM

Have any suggestions? -- BobG 06/27/2017 11:15PM

Sure, apply common sense to the scorekeeping for cases like this. -- HokieinTampa 06/28/2017 06:56AM

His ERA dropped 32 points and he got a QS. ** -- vtbones 06/28/2017 08:51AM

But once the game is tied, the game changes. -- BobG 06/28/2017 07:41AM

I liked you better when you just said "Nope" -- HokieinTampa 06/28/2017 07:46AM

Sorry. I lost my head. ** -- PhotoHokieNC 06/28/2017 08:13AM
