I get the point you’re trying to make, but under traditional stats like batting average, player B would still be better (Player B with a .250 BA and OBP vs. Player A’s .000)

wow, groundbreaking analysis - the winning team had better hitters overall. not to mention the EXTREMELY tiny sample size of two teams, and the arbitrary cutoffs (since when is “over .280" a relevant statistic lol). this does dick-all to support the proposition that batting average is a worthwhile stat.

that’s why I said “next to” meaningless. in real life, RBI is not controlled for the same situation (bases loaded) as in your example, so, frankly, your example is not really helpful in explaining the pluses or minuses of RBI. and even in your example, the total runs scored would be based on factors outside the…

dude/ma’am, W-L record IS meaningless, and RBI is next to meaningless, as both are predicated almost entirely on factors outside of the person’s control. Batting average is basically meaningless, because HOW a player gets on base is not nearly as important in the game as WHETHER a player gets on base (which is…

starred depite “meaningfulness,” lol

I’ve never lived in Madison so I don’t know, but I can’t imagine that Madison is MORE racist than A) Milwaukee and B) rural Wisconsin (where I grew up, and were I heard every racial slur you can think of thrown about with literally no thought that it might be inappropriate)

one HUNDRED percent true. provincial dicks who are somehow proud of being fat, drunk, and stupid.

oh boo fucking hoo, your favorite team doesn’t get ALL the good players. get a goddamn grip. like your team is the only one worthy of getting decent players. it boggles the mind how boston fans can lack so much self consciousness that they complain about their bad luck in sports. shitbrick.

it’s not like when you get divorced you lose ALL your money. a person entering with a big financial advantage might want one for purely pragmatic reasons (and if I practiced family law for wealthy clients I’d certainly advise considering it), but honestly I would have been incredibly offput to have been asked to sign…

Prenups might be love (you and others have made that point well), but they’re certainly not commitment, which is at least a large part of what marriage is about, right?
