There is a giant gap between a 54 ERA and having to “dominate in some way to be competitive. Can we apply some basic common sense and think about things before just spouting bullshit?

Common sense like considering this woman was drafted or signed out of high school or college, or perhaps signed as an amateur free agent like every single person ever signed by a major league team? Common sense like considering this woman pitched several seasons of minor league baseball and was called up to the majors?
How are these things not common sense considerations to make about a potential woman playing major league baseball? That is how you find yourself on a major league roster.
I think what goes against common sense is to suggest the only scenario under which a woman plays major league baseball is a publicity stunt.
