Title says it all. Allowed Trevor Williams, with a losing record and almost 5.00 ERA, to keep up with him. Couldn't even get his team a win against the Pirates.

Same outcome as John Lackey yesterday.

Bad.

No he didn't pitch well. He didn't get a win.

Justin Wilson had a clean inning. That is the most remarkable pitching feat of the evening.

Hill's performance and Lackey's are completely unrelated. It's like saying the guy bagging groceries at Mariano's did his job better than you did today.

He pitched well. He didn't pitch well enough to win. Simple.

Read your post a few times. Then walk away for 5 minutes, and think about it. Then come back and reply again.

Are you saying a guy can't pitch well without getting a win? That's pretty dumb. I'm sorry you hate Trevor Williams. He didn't get any run support.

No need. Lackey and Hill pitched in different games on opposite sides of the country. There's a terrible thought in every one of your posts in this thread. Where was poor Trevor's run support?

Point taken, but Cincinatti and Pittsburgh arent that far away.

Hard to parse. Hill covered a few more outs but he was facing an inferior lineup. Both guys pitched well. They probably shouldn't have sent Hill out in the tenth. Everyone gets tough losses. It's not a rarity. If Hill lacked "run support" so did Williams.

So I can't compare the quality of my cooking to the meals of top chefs since we aren't in the same kitchen using the same ingredients?

We might as well throw out all season end awards now as well. How can you decide who wins Cy Young? The top 3 candidates may never have faced each other the entire season?

No, I'm sure your pasta salad stands up to anything made by Jacques Pepin. You just lack utensil support.

Nonsense. Win/Loss is not meaningful within a single game sample size and this game proves that.

No shit. But the other side of that- and the reason I posted the other topic- is to illustrate how goddamn dumb the concept of "run support" or a lack thereof actually is. Saying that Trevor Williams lacked run support completely ignores how Hill pitched.

It happens. Sadly for the modern baseball fan, performance is only relative to the other events in the game in which those performances/events occur.

You could say he went up against a guy who pitched very well (huge understatement). I disagree that run support can't be an argument within the context of a single game. Over a career, fine - it likely averages out.

I guess strikeouts and home runs are important for a pitcher until they aren't.

Rich Hill, 1 home run given up, 10 strikeouts.
Other pitchers, 0 home runs given up, 7 strikeouts.

Pitchers can only truly control home runs and strikeouts. I'd say Rich Hill wasn't better than the other pitchers and no-hitters are flawed.

It's the thought behind BABIP, though I should have included walks but those walks in that game weren't damaging to the opposing team.

http://www.fangraphs.com/library/pitching/babip/

Quote:

BABIP is likely even more important when evaluating pitchers because they have almost no control over what happens to a ball once it is put in play. A pitcher can control their strikeouts, walks, and home runs, and through those, the number of balls they allow to be put into play, but once the ball leaves the bat, it’s out of their hands. As a result, pitcher BABIP is heavily influenced by defense and luck, which means the number of hits a pitcher gives up is influenced by things outside of their control. And if hits are somewhat outside of a pitcher’s control, so will their runs allowed totals.

Rich Hill didn't do his job tonight because he gave up a home run while the opposing pitcher didn't. In my opinion, 3 more strikeouts doesn't justify giving up a home run.
