Are you high, or just incredibly stupid?

So you have no one to use as evidence to backup your assertion that BA w RISP is a valuable stat?

Thanks for quoting another manager using it and seeing the importance of it.

After that response, the answer to the question you posed at the top of the page is "incredibly stupid"

It really was good stuff. Also found similar info in a book called the baseball economist. They touch on a few flawed stats and other common misconceptions within the game.

Matt Williams had the first quote in that link. Lol

quote:

“My favorite stat right now and always has been the stat of hitting with runners in scoring position… [B]atting average and on-base percentage and all of those things are great, but who is doing damage and how can they hit with guys in scoring position? I don’t know if I can help guys with that, but that’s the stat that I’m most concerned with, that I like the most. So do, I care whether a guy’s hitting .250 as opposed to .280? No, I care whether he can drive a run in.” Matt Williams

He's asking you to back up the assertion you made.

Why can't you do that?

Now you're essentially saying that every stat should be ignored in favor of RISP. That's just idiotic. Why not use it as part of the equation instead of the entire equation

You do that. Managers definitely dont make mistakes. Theyve always looked at advanced stats when making decisions.
