    99% of the players aren't Giancarlo Stanton. They are guys like Brando Inge or Dan Uggla or J.P. Crawford or or Greg Byrd or Jose Martinez, so when I see 52 ribbies on August 18, I don't know what the fuck that means, and, unless you are really following that guy or his team, you don't either.

    Sure, to hopefully illustrate a point - that RBIs can be a misleading stat.

    There's no hypothetical where a guy who hits for a .400 average (with the necessary number of at bats and all that) didn't have a good season.

    It’s easy to see here who would have voted for Jeff Kent over Barry Bonds.

    For what? Comptroller? Yeah, that's an easy choice.

    Yeah, well, extreme hypotheticals are misleading stats.

    Could be all groundouts that knock in 28 runs. 0-for-28 with 28 RBI!
