You can definitely agree that pitchers are responsible for at most 40% of the outcome?
So W-L record is at most 40% accurate? And wouldn't that be a horrible index then?
And if sabermetricians prove some other measures with, say, 70% of accuracy, why wouldn't they hate people using W-L as opposed to the new measures they come up with?
