Gertner changes his view on stats to fit his argument. When he thought Chacin had a lower ERA than Blanton (which he didn't), the first thing he said in Chacin's favor was "Better ERA than Blanton". Since Blanton's ERA has been at least a full run lower, his argument became "Who cares what his ERA is as long as he wins?"

Although I'm sure there's a lot of pitchers who would really struggle to "win" when your team gives you 7.7 RPG like the Blue Jays do for Chacin (best in MLB). I know, I know, Chacin has just done such a great job of holding those slim leads Toronto gives him. He knows how to win.
