So you and I agree it is a bad stat to judge pitchers?
When comparing pitcher A to pitcher B without any other discriminators, it is a horrible stat. For explaining how well a pitcher did or didn't do, at larger sample rates, it is fine within the context.
It would be like looking at a fly ball pitcher having to pitch in a band box. His HR allowed numbers are going to be skewed. Do when then discount that stat entirely?
