FIP is dumb as ****.
I disagree. If you only look at DIP stats you aren't getting a complete picture, but it's definitely useful in some cases.

The idea that major league pitchers have little to no control over what balls in play become hits and what balls in play become outs is pretty easy to see. 
FIP is the more retarded cousin of the only slightly less retarded BABIP.
Who was the major FIP touter before BL showed up?    I forget who his alias was.    Because, as I recall, BL said "I never said FIP was a good stat."   Until today.

Who is BL? And I do like some of the advanced metrics. I just DESPISE the win probability stats. 10-9 vs 2-1.

BL is bad_luck.

He's the guy in these threads who is smarter than everybody else.  He's also the ultimate arbiter of what people should think and how they should feel.

I'm not smarter than everyone else. Just you. But that's not exactly a high bar.

But this thread can be 17 pages by this afternoon if you make the same point over and over again with BL asking the same question over and over again.

Ain't that fun no more?
