I think it's overdue. We have them for hitters, we should have them for pitchers. Sick of seeing guys like Randy Choate and Dennys Reyes and Pedro Feliciano owning righties and getting crushed by lefties.

Agreed.
Concur.
Yes. 5 Stars
I really like this idea.Quote:

If we were to get that detailed, yes, but I think a first step is to just set it up like hitters - have a Vs. L rating and a Vs. R rating.Quote:

I'm a little bit confused about this. What you're suggesting is a fine idea, but generally, as it is now, lefty hitters - who do have a split - will hit more poorly against lefty pitchers. So you should see some kind of effect where lefties who pitch almost exclusively against lefties (LOOGY types) will have that reflected in their stats, and vice versa. Why isn't it happening? :confused:Quote:

On the other hand I have a screwball righty who completely shuts down lefties. I suspect this is just coincidence, I've seen other righties dominate lefties. So I've learned to watch the WHIP splits and not rely so much on LHP vs. LHB.Quote:

He had the second lowest earned run season of his career with a 3.18 ERA and 3.38 DICE.Quote:

Is this thread a suggestion to make pitcher split differentials USER EDITABLE?
