Revisiting Catcher Statistics

We’ve already seen how the RBI isn’t as team dependent as the statheads think… twice. Well, now it’s time to revisit some catcher statistics.
The timelessness of baseball. As is the historical norm, 2008 is showing that the top teams do NOT have leaky catchers. One great measure of this is [...]

A Stathead Look At Ryan Theriot | Chicago Bulls Head Coach

While the statheads at ACB think slugging % is infinitely more important than on-base %, most other statheads have decided that obp is worth about 1.8 times more than slugging %. So, when you look at ops, (obp + slugging %), it isn’t quite accurate. So, they created a stat called GPA or [...]

Just How Fucking Stupid And Pathetic The Dumb Hicks Are

The hicks have lowered to a new nadir.
Yesterday, I was alerted to the fact that Maddog at ACB… wrote that somebody has contacted his wife. I will start by being very clear on this subject:
I have never contacted Maddog’s wife. I have never had a single thought to contact Maddog’s [...]

The Best Cubs Team of My Lifetime

I recently posed a question to my father, “Do you think this is the best Cubs team of my lifetime?”
We quickly agreed that the only possible comparisons are the ‘84 and ‘03 teams. And really, the ‘03 team doesn’t compare. That team got hot at the right time… and certainly didn’t demonstrate [...]

For Oog: The World’s Biggest Goy, And His None-Too-Clever Jim Edmonds Quip

One rueful little queen named Oog asked me a question the other day. Aren’t I going to write about how great the Jim Edmonds signing is?
This is his brilliant attempt at ridicule. You see, to stat heads, signing Jim Edmonds is the stupidest thing this club could do. He’s hit very poorly [...]

For Dumbfuck Statheads, Theriot’s .400 OBP Clogs The Bases

These stat freaks are so abominably stupid. Let’s examine one of their great contradictions. Statheads think both of the following:
1. Dusty Baker is a complete idiot for thinking walks clog the bases. (On that point, they’re right.)
2. Ryan Theriot’s .400 obp is worthless because he has a low slugging percentage. [...]

Revisiting The RBI And Its Relevance

The statheads have taught us what an irrelevant stat the RBI is. They say it’s so team dependent, despite the fact that many top RBI men each year play for teams with an average-to-lousy offense. Well, why don’t we take a look at this year so far?
Josh Hamilton leads the majors with 37 [...]

Offensive Explosion Upon Soriano’s Return

Thank god the ZORP heads have urged us all that Soriano must lead off. The offense functions greatest with he at the top. And Ryan Theriot’s the worst player in the history of any sport ever!!!!
How do these idiots think this way? How’s it even possible?
The Cubs have gone from [...]

The Cubs In Soriano’s Absence

In the 14 games without Alfonso Soriano, the Chicago Cubs scored 103 runs. That means 7.36 runs per game. In contrast to this, the Red Sox are averaging 4.53 runs per game thus far this season. Last season’s Yankees with their 968 runs? 5.98 runs per game.
Thank god we have statheads [...]
