KB in a nutshell.

Yep. I never consider context. What's context?
Every stat exists only in a vacuum, yep, that's me.
Context? More like cunt-text, that's what I say.
In fact, I don't even consider stats as to how they apply to <i>baseball</i>. I simply see them as an actuary would.

Basically. You got mad at me in this very thread for simply taking PA and dividing them by RBI to get RBI per PA. You thought that was convoluted stat, it was simple long division. This is the same guy that tries to champion the fielding bible which is actually full of convoluted stats derived from other stats and are created using complex formulas. I'm convinced that a majority of the time you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about when it comes to stats and baseball in general.
