MLB 2018 regular season thread

I would obviously do homework on the guy and not gamble on an outlier season.

 

Ranking in the top seven in RBI doesn’t mean you were “one of the 7 best at driving in runs.”

 

Your team would lose 120 games.

 

And your team could very well lose 120 with a .350 wOBA/70-RBI guy.

So the argument's a wash.

Please.

 

I’ve said it million times, but statistics really needs to be a required high school course. The American education system has really failed the @Songbird s of the world, if he’s being serious.

 

No, the original question fails miserably and my answer is neither correct nor incorrect :: the answer Dick thinks is correct.

And baseball statistica is NOT in same universe as the kind of statistics you think American students fail at.

The nature of baseball statistics is pure subjective fantasy, and a winless argument.

 

Do yourself a favor @Songbird - order this and read it

 

You are not alone. I had this fight with an editor 20 years ago and lost. Still upset about it.

 

Is it HR and not HRs?

 

I think there are good arguments each way re: RBI vs. RBIs.

 

No, because it's "home runs." But it's "runs batted in," which means RBIs makes no sense.

 

Should be RsBI
