I get what BL is saying. I simply disagree. When there's more of something, the parts of it are less valuable.
I have $1 to my name. A quarter is pretty important to me.
I have $100,000 to my name. I drop a quarter and don't even bother to pick it up.
What changed the value of that quarter? The abundance of them.
Now convert that to positive impact actions and runs scored.
In this case dollars are runs, not hits. We're measuring the value of the events in terms of runs.
When there are a lot of dollars circulating in the economy, an hour of labor costs more than when there are few dollars circulating in the economy. That hour of labor is more valuable, in terms of dollars, when there are a lot of dollars.
Jesus you are so far off here, so completely wrong I don't even know where to start.
You are making the argument that labor costs more because more 'dollars' are needed to pay for it, while completely ignoring the value of those dollar themselves.
This makes you look like a complete idiot because you champion WAR all the time - a stat that is supposed to normalize between eras and different scoring/pitching/etc.
I think the only reason all of us are still participating in this ridiculous thread is we are all so incredulous that you are still defending your stupid theories.
