What is the criteria to be considered best pitch or worst pitch?
You can find it at fangraphs.com. It is "wins above average" by pitch by pitcher. I don't really know what that all means.

Worst post ever! Christ WWWWWWWWWW we would rather hear about the massive amounts of food you ate for dinner than read this steaming pile of shit. Pick it up or shut it down. Its up to you!
Worst post ever? Clearly you haven't been reading very long.
What do you have as more surprising this year, the Padres, Nationals or Reds? I know it's early but on paper before the season started all 3 teams looked like minor league teams.
I'd have to say the Nats. Definitely not the Reds, because they had young talent and just had to hope it would come together. The Padres are pretty surprising too, but they at least looked like they'd have quality pitching. The Nationals I still expect to fade hard, so I'd say them.
