Sure, that's easy, I know that stat without even looking it up: irrelevant. So there's no correlation between wildness and giving up runs? You can't walk accross the plate. Dude. Obviously when you allow baserunners, especially to lead off an inning, you are going to put yourself in a worse position to win the game. I was probably being a bigger jerk than I should have been , but what difference does it make what his record is when he hits/walks the leadoff guy? He's in worse shape to convert the save, thats all that really needs to be said. I was still irked about the game and bringing up another arbitrary statistic such as that just adds to the doom and gloom around here. It's not like it's some magical act that causes Woody to break down into tears on the mound.
