Hey Now! replied to the thread Trade deadline needs and watch party.
No; I’ve illustrated why batting average is a meaningless statistic & generally ignored by most of MLB: it formula equates singles as...

… in *an* inning? Dude… We’re discussing the viability of batting average not that 4 hits is better than 9 in *an* inning. If a team...

Hey Now! replied to the thread Trade deadline needs and watch party.
I’m not arguing singles/hits are bad; I’m arguing a formula that would determine nine singles (.900) is better than 4 HRs (.400) is a...

In ‘22, Peña had a 102 OPS+ in the regular season. He did not hit well. The ‘22 playoffs remain an extreme outlier.

Peña was 8/40 last October with zero extra base hits & 1 walk. Diaz posted a .143 OPS. Small sample size, obviously, and postseason...

Hey Now! replied to the thread Trade deadline needs and watch party.

Hey Now! replied to the thread Trade deadline needs and watch party.

Hey Now! replied to the thread Trade deadline needs and watch party.

Hey Now! replied to the thread Trade deadline needs and watch party.
