I actually feel bad for people like BL. They don't even watch the game. They just blindly look at stats and statistical measurements like WAR and think they can appreciate the game.

WAR is a made-up piece of garbage.
Show it to me in a Box Score, any Box Score, then I'll call it a stat.

That's the stupidest thing I've heard in a while.

By that measure OBP, SLG, and OPS aren't stats. And average isn't a stat. You old farts who hate advanced metrics love average.

"Stat" doesn't even begin to describe an ADVANCED METRIC!!!!! like WAR.

War. A 'stat' know one understands, but puts a lot of faith in. Kinda like Jesus. Or the Donald.

"Hey Johnny, I'll trade you a Kirby Puckett card for a Kevin Seitzer card!"

"**** you Timmy! Kevin Seitzer had motherf-ucking 5.5 WAR last season. Step off!"

"Look Dad! Joe DiMaggio had a 9.02 Win Probability Added in 1937! Amazing! You think I can do that in Little League???"

"Son, if you don't get that glove lower, you're gonna have a hard time getting those hard hit grounders. Do you really want your Defensive Efficiency Rating to suffer?"
