ERA means nothing.
Game places a high value on wins.
Which pitcher had the most innings pitched.
Say reliever #1 comes in with no one on, 2 outs, and allows a hit and then gets an out for a save.
Reliever #2 comes in with a runner on 3rd, 2 outs and allows a hit and then gets an out, he gets a blown save even though his pitching was identical.
Or what if someone committed an error for.reliever #2???
