What I'd love is to see the stats before the routine. I know, Scott, in your whiny voice you can tell us all you want about how so-and-so's routine is better but show me. I'm not a dope and I imagine this isn't too hard to figure out. I suspect they don't do it because they'd be showing just how much easier it was to rig these things.
Then again, if we can't get OBP and SLG on baseball broadcasts, much less something like wOBA or ISO, then it's probably a lost cause.
