Detroit Tigers manager Jim Leyland blasted a statistic that could potentially devalue Max Scherzer's outstanding season, repeatedly saying that he doesn't care about "all that stat stuff."

Leyland ranted against baseball's run-support metric Tuesday prior to Detroit's 2-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox. Scherzer, who entered the game with the highest run support in the majors, ironically recorded the loss despite pitching well and fell to 19-2 this season.

When asked before the game about Detroit's run support for Scherzer this season, Leyland emphatically disregarded the question.

"Some people could find a flaw in Bo Derek," Leyland told reporters, according to the Detroit News, referring to the actress who starred in the 1979 film "10."

Scherzer leads the majors in wins and also ranks in the top three in the American League in ERA (2.88) and strikeouts (209). Despite their offensive struggles Tuesday, the Tigers have averaged 5.79 runs in Scherzer's starts this season.
