Tim Lincecum: worst pitcher ever!
Quote:
Messing around with endpoints leads to misleading stuff, but there is a certain fun in stuff like this from today’s Wall Street Journal:
If the season ended today, Lincecum (above)—a two-time Cy Young Award winner—would have the worst adjusted ERA, 55, of any pitcher who has thrown at least 95 innings in a season since at least 1901.
And that is true. But the season doesn’t end today, of course, and I am fairly certain that — barring a season-ending injury being the cause of his struggles — Lincecum will improve as the season wears on and have his nightmare season end up, statistically speaking, appear to be merely horrific.
