Maybe JG knew how you felt, but I obviously didn't. Instead of throwing out sarcastic and unhelpful remarks, how about trying to have a reasonable discussion about this?!

I'm not married to the idea of the change - I just thought it was a good change based on the back-and-forth towards the end of last year in last year's league (where I don't remember any objections). TM was the big proponent of the change and the theory is that in many cases, losses are due to a lack of offensive support for a pitcher and if the loss is the pitcher's fault, he's penalized in the earned run stat. The change in the Loss stat adjusts for the double penalty.

You guys are great and I love how you're passionate about the league, but sometimes... ohwell
