Talk:Bud Norris

"Prone to losing comment"
Interested to hear other comments about this. At this writing in May 2014, Norris has won 40 games and lost 52 games. That is a losing record, but there are more than 100 pitchers who have lost more games still playing in the major leagues today. Norris has thrown 783.1 innings and needs 1,000 innings to qualify for the winning/losing percentage records among active pitchers. Barring injury, it appears he will reach that level later in 2014 or early in the 2015 season. The important thing to me is that Norris' winning percentage of .435 would rank 74th among all active MLB pitchers if he had enough innings to qualify. In more than 100 years, only 775 pitchers with 1,000 innings have won more games than they've lost. The logic behind that? Pitchers "prone to losing" don't get to pitch 1,000 innings.

I just got the "be bold" message from an editor on another piece so I'm putting the facts in. Look at me, all bold and stuff. Thanks, folks who encourage us neophytes! George Bounacos (talk) 14:43, 17 May 2014 (UTC)
