Talk:Matt Cain

Matt Cain is a 3x World Champion
This is a FACT. Please stop removing 2014. LiserKay (talk) 23:23, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
 * The consensus established by WikiProject Baseball is to include WS years in a player's infobox only if the player was on the team's postseason roster. We look to group consensus on certain editing issues because without it we would just be running around reverting each other's edits all the time to match our personal preferences. To think of it another way, watching a WS from the bench isn't going to be a career highlight for a player of Cain's caliber.


 * With all of that said, you have options. You could visit the project talk page and drum up some more discussion of this issue to see if consensus is changing. Please refrain from making similar changes to infoboxes for now though. EricEnfermero (Talk) 01:25, 11 October 2017 (UTC)


 * Not including 2014 is ridiculous. Matt Cain played for the Giants in 2014 and contributed to their success and eventual World Series win. He got a ring and is considered by the team to be a 3x World Series champion. The information here is therefore inaccurate. If he had been out the entire season (or even most of it) then leaving out 2014 would certainly be justified. A team isn't just selected to go to the post season. They have to play to get there. Any player that makes a contribution for a significant part of the season is a part of what gets the team to the post season in the first place. His contributions to the 2014 World Series should be acknowledged by including it in the infobox. I looked at the WikiProject Baseball page and the topic wasn't even discussed there until I just added it. So I don't see how a consensus was reached on WikiProject Baseball when the topic was never even discussed. --Jimv1983 (talk) 21:05, 2 September 2019 (UTC)--Jimv1983 (talk) 20:57, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

 * Not including 2014 is stupid. Very stupid. 8.29.211.234 (talk) 17:47, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
 * He didn't pitch for them at all in the second half of the season, it's the same reason we don't include players who were traded away at the trading deadline. It's meant to indicate players who were active and participated in the World Series. Spanneraol (talk) 18:04, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
