I kind of want BL to weigh in on the LH 2B debate.
Bob: "Can a LH 2B work in MLB? Discuss."
Dave: "A LH 2B can never work, because X."
Joe: "I disagree. A LH 2B could work because Y."
BL: "Everyone knows LH pitchers are better. You're dumb."
Bob: "Umm, the discussion is about about 2B."
BL: "No, WE are discussing pitchers. Just because your'e too dumb to understand something as complex as FIP."
Joe: "No, we're definitely talking about 2B."
BL: "See? You're dumb. I WIN!!!!!!!!"
Except that's exactly what you did.
There was an argument about whether, in general, an out is an out.
SJ didn't think that GIDP are bad enough to wipe out the difference in value between a productive out and a non-productive out.
Him and I started arguing about event run values because of that.
You came in screaming about RELATIVE VALUE and refused to even consider the fact that relative value is beside the point.
