Lazy and incorrect? Shaw's ERA was 3.52 last season...McCallister's ERA was 2.61. Any other "incorrect" information required?
Also...over the past 3 years ZMac has a better ERA than gas can BS. Shaw had no business making the playoff roster while ZMac (2.61). Goody (2.80) and Otero (2.85) were shelved.
Just because Francona over used him doesn't change the fact he was the 9th worst reliever on the staff. Numbers don't lie.
Good riddance Shaw.
I am not sure how he had the 9th worst reliever on the staff, when Merritt is a starter, which makes him have the 8th worst ERA so get that part right. Also he was apart of one of the best pitching staffs statistically baseball has ever seen. This pitching staff is Cooperstown numbers good and still will be next season regardless especially if guys like Salazar stay healthy.
Also Shaw was second on the team in holds, had the most inherited runners, second on the team when it came to ground ball outs, tied for second for forcing the most ground ball double plays on the roster and most in all of MLB for a reliever.
Now onto another stat His FIP was also sub 3 at 2.96 while his era was 3.52, which usually says he was pitching better than his ERA indicated. Everyone else you mentioned had ZMac (3.77) Goody (3.45) Otero (3.64) Guys like Miller 1.44 ERA to 1.99 FIP, Allen had 2.94 ERA to a 3.19 FIP. (Shaw usually has a worse FIP than ERA and this seasons was actually extremely good)

The league's FIP overall in 2017 was an average of 4.36, so our entire staff was a at Average or above average including Tomlin.
Now since you have a name that says you are into stats, what does that say to you?
I dont look at just ERA, and for baseball, they have so many stats its not funny. If you are going to say you are a statman and post in a baseball forum, you better be able to put up some stats.
