    All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!

    What are average pitching numbers today? I have a surprisingly hard time finding them? Say the basic ones, ERA, K/9, BB/9

    Heisey had a chance at that but the fan interferes with his cap.

    Bartman-esque.

    I'm sure Leake's saber peripherals are pretty snoozy too. He and Locke know what they're doing when facing hitters. At least in the 4 games I've seen him pitch. The game is different now, it's no longer strikeouts and only strikeouts = effective pitcher.

    The NL averages this year:

    7.4 K/9
    3.0 BB/9
    3.84 FIP (roughly)

    Locke:

    6.0 K/9
    3.9 BB/9
    3.81 FIP

    No, the fool who interfered but didn't catch the ball but kept Heisey from catching it is Bartman-esque

    No one said strikeouts and only strikeouts matter.

    But his K/BB ratio is a very, very mediocre 1.5. That's not a recipe for success.
