Is it just me or is the "Hold" one of the silliest stats in baseball. I was just looking at a pitcher's line: 0.1 innings pitched, 1 h, 4 r, 4 er, 3 bb. For this performance he earned both the loss and a hold. Cms479 19:35, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, can you think of a better way to quantify a relief pitcher's performance in a single number? Especially for short relievers, ERA can get blown way out of proportion way too fast (one bad outing can inflate numbers for an otherwise very dependable short man, for example).
