this is such a dumb argument you’re making - you’re, like, taking the entire sport out of context.

“just put the ball in play” is the worst possible outlook a hitter can have at the plate.

“but the total win/loss ratio of outs on balls in play is a positive compared to strikeouts.” 

the more runs you create, the more valuable your at bats are.

so do you think just throwing acronyms at other acronyms is how it works?

that sounds like a lot of work for a 16 year old stockboy on summer break. props to him for taking his vocation seriously

omg why are the white claw displays always right in the way when im trying to walk down the aisle towards the beer

there is no argument, because there’s no such thing as the “best leadoff man.”

putting the ball in play can also lead to a double play in all the situations you’ve described.

GIDP would like a word with you.

This is not because they don't have a "leadoff hitter."

Strikeout, like ground outs, and fly outs and line outs and pop outs, are outs.

this is my big takeaway about him, too. 

my god i was wondering why he was so familiar

lol

LOL you have no children, eh?

OMG THE HORROR OF A CHILD REALIZING THEY PARTICIPATED IN THE NORMAL REARING PROCESS

Your insults are strong but your argument is weak.

this game looks kinda cool

The mens game, as a whole, brings in more than the women’s game. That’s undebateable.
