“Do you even understand the arguments against it?”

Yes Donal I do but none of them are actually valid!
Especially not when OBP takes into account POSITIVE PAs and calls them NEGATIVE!
The fact that BA calls the sacrifice and a Walk a WASH as contributed but unattainable without another players help does not make it INCOMPLETE as you guys argue!

OBP is WAY more incomplete because it doesn’t give credit where credit is due and gives credit when it’s NOT due!

Why do they use Sabers? Because why not! What does it cost you to hire one geek to operate an Excel spreadsheet?

And tell me something where would all these Sabers amount to if we stopped recording those TRADITIONALS such as AB and Hits?

How would someones OBP be calculated if they just up and stopped keeping all those traditional stats you guys say should be avoided!

And if you want to know who just read ANYT article regarding Sabermetrics on this site!

Just like rolling a 7 has a higher probability than rolling a 6 and an 8!

doesn’t mean that you can predict which way the dice turn up!
It’s not a RULE unless it applies in EVERY CASE not just the majority!

Would the laws of Gravity be RULES if they didn’t apply everywhere and under all conditions?

Why, do you want him to compeltely disregard BA?

Do you even understand the arguments against it?

Or do you just make more stuff up, like you constantly get caught doing?

Also can you provide a good example of a bad hitter with a high OPS?

“Numbers can be deceiving”…..but your eyes and memory are perfect?

If something happens 9 times out of 10 and there is a logical explanatio nfor it, yes it is a rule.

“And I showed way more than one exception in each of the last 5 years of my research!”

You showed like 4 teams over the last 5 years that bucked the trend. And again, at least 1 of those teams (Toronto) had a 40 HR hitter in the line up. Also, how many of those teams continued to do it?

“The fact that the lost of leading RS teams more closely correlated to their RBIs than their OBP just goes to show how bad your Saber RULE OF THUMB was!”

Because you can’t award an RBI without a run scroing. the run creates the RBI, not vice versa.
You need to learn the difference between correlation and causation.

“And all you who think using traditionals is PASSE got the wrong answer because you INSISTED on IGNORING the traditional Metric that gives the right answer every time!
With only a difference of a run or two when it’s wrong!”

A metric that is a result, not a cause. The problem with RBI is not that it is traditional (even though it only became highly valued i nthe 1980s). The problem is that it is inaccurate and misleading.
