The Dugout: Winning Games is Easy

Found July 09, 2009 on FanHouse:
PLAYERS: Alan Embree
TEAMS: Colorado Rockies

by Jon BoisFiled under: Nationals, Rockies, The DugoutOn Tuesday night's game between the Nationals and Rockies, Alan Embree earned the win without even throwing a pitch. For one night, at least, he got to live the life of a fantasy baseball team owner.The real story here, of course, is that the win statistic suddenly seems a little trivial. Baseball experts across the board have always agreed that wins are the definitive pitching statistic. ERA? WHIP? Maybe those nerds at the acronym factory are on to something, because a zero-pitch win just doesn't seem right. Then again, Embree was up against the Nationals, and everyone wins against the Nationals.Wednesday morning's Dugout is after the jump.The Dugout: Winning Games is Easy originally appeared on Fanhouse MLB Blog on Thu, 09 Jul 2009 10:00:00 EDT .
