Is WAR a stat? Topic

Uh huh. So redlining to try to get someone banned is not being a crybaby because it's quick.

Riiiiight.

Nice try, crybaby. Are you ever going to produce that damning sitemail from ADMIN?

It's cute that you still think you can immaturely bait people into giving you the things you demand.

Well, I'm not sure "cute" describes it. Stupid certainly does. Crybaby needs to ask himself this question:

"What is more fun for MikeT23?"
A) Give me what I demand
B) Make me make demands over and over again with no intention of ever doing it

Argue Monkey doesn't like when his demands are not met:

BL knows that - he just likes to start the wheels turning fresh every time.

WAR is a statistic.

Argue Monkey gets frustrated when told that advanced metrics are not stats.

I know no one asked, but imma put my two cents in here.

WAR is a stat. But a useless one like Wins.

Argue Monkey was trying not to be argumentative. Must be penning a complaint ticket. Is he turning in tec or sjp this time?

Incorrect. Stats can be accurately measured and agreed upon. Batting average, home runs, errors, assists, ERA, etc., etc., etc. - all calculated the same by everyone and able to be measured.

"There is no clearly established formula for WAR. Sources that provide the statistic calculate it differently."

WAR is a metric. A man-made formula, created using real stats in an attempt to capture a player's value in one number. You can't accurately measure it and it's not agreed upon by everyone. If you can get different values for it depending on where you look, it's not a stat.

You realize that all formulas are "man-made," right? It's not like scientists stumbled upon Slugging percentage while looking for a cancer cure.
