But if you care even a little bit -- Aaron Ashby is trying to do something that seems unfathomable.
Right now, the Milwaukee Brewers' left-handed pitcher keeps winning baseball games out of the bullpen.
He already has five wins this season after getting another W on Thursday. No one else in baseball has five wins.
The season isn't even a month old. Clearly, it'd be tough for Ashby to keep this pace up, or anything close to it.

Ashby is a second-generation big leaguer, and he's a bit funky.
The Brewers have used him as an opener in the past, but guys don't get wins in that role. In this current mid-game or even end-game role, he can rack up W after W.
At this point, Milwaukee should just see how high they can get the total (obviously they won't approach it like that, but wouldn't it be fun?).
This is a special start for Ashby -- the Brewers have 10 wins, and he's got 5.
Wins are wins, but these ones are pretty cool.
Aaron Ashby currently has five wins this season, which is the highest in baseball.

Wins are often viewed as less important due to the evolving understanding of player contributions and the influence of team dynamics on win totals.
