I know I'm supposed to be in love with every new stat... but can we SLOW DOWN the stat creation?

Agreed

I’ve always thought we should judge the worth of baseball stats based on the all-important “how much does this make SullyBaseball’s head hurt?” (HMdtMSBHH?) metric.

I don’t know why we don’t refer to HMdtMSBHH? more. For example, AVG scores a great 1.1 head clutches, OBP a solid 3.7, but OPS is a terrible 14.2, and WAR an off-the-charts 83.3. It’s pretty clear which of those stats is the best here.

Let me get this straight

So smart people like Tom Tango can’t help the public develop a deeper and more complete understanding of the game we all love because this guy needs 3 years to figure out what OPS is?

Let's calculate the SAP score

ie:

Sully’s
Annoying
Personality

That's one of the stupidest fucking videos I've ever seen.
And he makes more of them
