i dont really have a chart for that....if you show me a stat i can tell you if it is nerdy....batting average is not one of them tho

RBI? WORTHLESS!

rbis are more meaningful than wins

but really rbis and runs are a team stat. you can argue tons of things in sports are team stats (cant get passing yards with proper blocking and good receivers) but there are tons of individualized baseball stats that are more telling of a players production than rbis.

WAR is king of the nerd stats, right?

VORP

Or

OPS

SunMo · May 08, 2015, 09:49:28 AM

OPS? no way, that's a legit stat

SD · May 08, 2015, 10:03:29 AM

They're all legit, it's still a seamhead nerd overblown I'm-so-smart stat.

war and vorp are basically the same thing? one is straight "value" and one is "wins" but they seem the same and im not a fossilized republican sports fan

lol..wow...do you see the parallels between this convo and someone complaining about those "elitist" liberals. wonder where you got that word from, tex.

anyway, id recommend actually finding out what era+ is before you proclaim it to be stupid. i honestly dont know what it is or hows it tabulated and dont care. ERA is kind of iffy as it is....its very dependent on a number of factors out of the pitchers control. i much prefer WHIP and K/9 but to each their own.

You're reaching if you're trying to tie my using of elitist to some political shtein.

Keep swinging away, pal.

What is lil guys VORP to CF?
