Now that it has been definitively established that Grove was the best LHP of all time and Koufax should not even be in the discussion, is there a statistician who can create a formula to determine whether any given poster is either:
A) A common troll
B) An insufferable egotist
or
C) Just generally a complete AH?

Bonus points if the algorithm can determine historical Net54 ranking.

How about everyone self-report which of those three they think they are guilty of being.

I'm definitely a B) but I work hard at taming it. Anyone else wanna be honest?

I'm a common troll. By the way, the Hunt live auction is going on right now. Lots of great stuff.

And Scott, I thought you would select C) A complete Auction House.

I'll nominate myself for C - a complete asshole, as I'm still awaiting a math-based logically consistent argument for Koufax like has been presented for the others.

I still don't think Warren Spahn gets enough credit when ranking all-time greatest lefties.

I'll be honest and state that I am a nice guy, though, because I detest arrogance, I don't admit it very often.

Koufax is my FAVORITE.

IMHO, the GOAT for lefties is either Grove or RJ.


I'm also a HUGE Billy Wagner fan, but that's another discussion.

I loved the fact that 'my' Braves clinched using three left-handers.


US LEFTIES RULE!

Plus 1 on Spahn, plus one on lefties from a lefty.

The best reliever not in the Hall - and better than nearly all that are.

A "math-based logically consistent argument" has been provided for exactly zero pitchers thus far in this thread. You guys may as well be picking your favorite Power Ranger. No shame in that though. Some people like pink, others prefer green.

Numerous people have been able to make a statistical argument for the candidate they think best that is not contradictory. Welcome back.

I really don’t quite get this. Pull up stats, many sites provide them. Spahn, for example, didn’t just pitch for a long time - he also led the league in a ton of categories that seem important. I don’t need to be a statistician to think that combined with his all time leading careen wins, leading the league all those times means the guy was better than “above average” or whatever phrase you used. I’m just a cave man lawyer but even I can figure some of this out. Please provide your algorithm that puts Spahn at just “above average” or admit you’re trolling just a little.

I've been waiting for you to give me a "math-based, logically consistent argument" to my comparison of Grove and Koufax's World Series performances. Perhaps you missed it??

The White Power Ranger was my favorite.

See, there's a sign my ego is overinflated. If I was so damn smart I'd have thought of that!
