Rangers lose on a walk off base on balls in 13 innings 7-6 and will be out of first place if the Mariners win.

I mean neither are incorrect.

Either way, Mookie has the higher WAR right now.

Oh no you are being silly

I’m confused what is going on here. Are you trying to discredit WAR as a stat?

Depending on which WAR stat you use. Freeman is not higher than Acuña in one of them or a couple of them I can’t keep up with which is which

Well for starters it places no value on situational baseball. And it assigns different values depending on the position a player is playing

and you dont think it should? does a short stop not have a bigger impact on team defense than a first baseman? should they not be given positional weights because of that?
