The only numbers that matter to top flight starting pitchers are the ones Steve Cohen will give them. Wins are have always been the most irrelevant stat for pitchers anyway, other than to signal something about the team in big numbers as show by this thread. Why should Jacob DeGrom's W-L influence anything? He won a Cy Young without a lot of wins and most of the teammates that didn;t support him are long gone, as is deGrom.
