Everybody who understands baseball knows that. Context and game situations matter.
BL seems to struggle with the concept, because he's too locked in to his stats and tables.
Seeing things from the 40,000 level is OK as long as you keep it in the proper perspective. But you can't ignore what happens at ground level, because that's where the games are played.
BL gets bit when he looks at the big picture only, and then tries to apply it to all situations. "All outs are the same". And that's why he gets seriously mocked here.
