That's how it works on a stat sheet.

The funny thing is that you dont grasp this enough to even disagree. You just laugh and hope nobody notices that you're dumb.

What am I not grasping?

Please, summarize what you think my argument is.

You haven't made an argument other than, "see trout wants to cut down on k's and you said an out is an out."

If I haven't made an argument (according to you), then what am I not grasping (according to you)?

The difference between looking at Ks after a season and looking at Ks before a season?

The whole point is that if two guys have the same triple slash, the same 2B and HR, the same SB and CS, but one guy Ked 60 times and one guy Ked 180 times, they were basically equivalent on offense.  I'd take the low K guy, but it's pretty marginal.  But if 180 K guy goes out and cuts his Ks down to 100 the next season, odds are he'll be better than he was the year before.  Not every time, certainly, but more often than not.

You don't seem to grasp the difference.

WTF are you talking about?  Who is looking at K's before/after a season?

Everyone but you...

We told you you weren't getting it.

Um, OK.

Did BL make you the deputy mayor of Retardland?

I'm not sure what's funnier: (a) somebody who doesn't understand baseball saying "here, let me explain it to you", or (b) somebody accusing you of not understanding a discussion that you weren't even participating in.

Given that you're the one who apparently doesn't even grasp what everyone else is talking about, I wouldn't start characterizing the intelligence of other people involved...

The "debater" part of your ID is a joke, right?  Kind of like referring to a massively obese person as "slim"?
