Answer 1

I've never understood the attraction or enduring popularity of willful ignorance.

Answer 2

OPS may just be the best statistic in determining how good a hitter is.

On-base plus slugging (OPS) is a baseball statistic calculated as the sum of a player's on-base percentage and slugging percentage.[1] The abilities of a player both to get on base and to hit for power, two important hitting skills, are represented, making it an effective way of measuring the player's offensive worth.

Answer 3

yea stats are stupid and distracting

because of stats we have fantasy sports which ruin players who dont hit for good averages but worked their @$$es off to get there.

my favorite quote on stats is:

"If you dwell on statistics, you get shortsighted. If you aim for consistency, the numbers will be there at the end." - Tom Seaver
