Walk, advance on a fly out, steal, wild pitch. Sure, why not get a run that way?

ideally one's WHIP should be as close as possible to one's ERA, yes?

I mean, you both want them to be low but I don't see how this figures. You could have a high WHIP but low ERA if you're good at stranding runners. WHIP would be equal to ERA if 1/9 of your allowed base runners scored, right?

it was just looking at the ERA above being 5.28 (yes, season-long) along with 10 baserunners over 2 innings and seeing A Funny

I spent all morning listening to impoverished people crying about parking tickets in Federal court; all numbers are meaningless to me.

They've scored 251 runs on the road in 38 games and as of now 200 runs at home in 44 games

Cardinals last year were 48-33 on the road, 38-43 at home. It was infuriating.
