Can we agree that a guy who didn't walk people, basically pitched to contact, could have this mindset?
"I always thought about completing games, starting games, eating up innings and trying to win games more importantly than anything else"
And, in doing so, he allowed a lot of runs. Sorry. That makes him a less effective pitcher.
The fact that you don't understand 70s baseball isn't surprising. You were still making poopee in your diapers.
The fact that you refuse to consider that pitcher's priorities might have been different is what makes you a retard. If a guy is looking to extend an outing, he's not going to nibble at the corners. He's going to throw strikes and hope the hitter makes a mistake. If they don't, he's giving up runs but, if he can throw 11 pitches instead of 23, he's just added an inning to his game.
