Thanks for the explanation of the new style stats. Sure does look like they take the old stats that are actually useful and combine them in a meaningful way.
And seen that way, it matches pretty well with my impressions of Ryan. There'd be like 6 innings of almost everyone looking silly, maybe a walk here and there, then a walk, maybe someone gets hit, he tries to use a curve for some reason and it hangs leading to a 3 run homer. Maybe trouble after, maybe not. Next inning batters were back to ineffective flailing and blank stares. But of course, he's given up 3-5 runs on some walks and handful of hits and a homer or two. End of the day, just like the new stats say, it's all just hits and runs.
