Shelby isn't close to being the 4th best pitcher in baseball, even "right now".

Anybody think he's going to maintain that .183 BABIP against?

No but that is his BABIP right now. When it's not, he won't be on the list.

Not sure the concept is being understood here.

I for one would not have guessed that "best pitcher right now" would have led to a long argument.

On a baseball forum, you don't think "best pitcher right now" is open for discussion?

It's not a discussion. It's an argument.

[Socnorb11]

In the sense that I disagree with someone else's opinion....... then OK, it's a baseball "argument". That's unusual for a baseball forum?

Heck, in the game thread, you guys are arguing about how many pitches a batter should take. We're talking "best pitcher" here. That SHOULD spark discussion, or argument, or whatever you want to call it.

I don't mind the dialogue but unlike a GDT, what I posted wasn't my opinion just something I saw on MLBN and thought was interesting. They probably should call it the top 10 hottest pitchers right now. I wish we knew more about both the calculations and time frames involved but I couldn't find anything on the website.

This is like playing cards with my brother's kids or something.

[Socnorb11]

I get it, Rad. Sorry if it seemed like my disagreement was directed at you. I was simply saying that I disagree with the assessment.

[lukethedrifter]

Shelby Miller is pitching like a really awesome top pitcher right now. He might be one.
