If it’s such a “basic” idea...why are you saying that it’s wrong?

Fan reaction to any sports series ever.

Not everyone knows *Klubber* as well as you, I guess.

Why should I expect a pitcher with a 3.14 ERA to give up 0 runs in every start?

Why should I expect a pitcher with season K/9 of 9.6 to always throw 12 K/9?

I find this entire thread odd. Because the people who think they are being reasonable are the ones saying Kluber will ALWAYS pitch as well as he did last night. At…

Jays were the second or third offense based on....reputation?

7th in wRC+
9th in runs scored
23rd in BA
6th in OBP
11th in SLG

Not a bad offense. But the 2nd or 3rd best is hard to substantiate.

Another smug fan who thinks that Kluber pitches like this every game.

Note: If he did he’d have over 300 Ks, and ERA much lower than 3.14, and 30+ wins.

The point of the original comment isn’t that Kluber sucks. It’s that he won’t always pitch one of the best games of his career. Pitching, like most things, isn’t…

No. The point is...Kluber was amazing last night. Even great pitchers are not amazing every time they pitch.

Woosh!
