The Most Important Baseball Stat?

Players statistics matter because no team will consistently win with nine Micky Morandini's on their roster.

Rather, it's goal was to argue whether or not one statistic was best. You can agree or disagree. I was, however, happy to see you took the mature route and called out me representing OS based off a simple difference of opinion. I expected a little more from a former mod.

Well, I was just reading what your wrote, that's all. If you didn't mean that I never read it, by saying "if you read the entire article", then that's my fault. I guess we're even with the "former mod" comment"

Not defensive here, and, in the end, no big deal. Like I said, I'll keep my comments on the main content to myself. Like I said, you responded to the last sentence instead of the content of my post, but that's ok man. It's all good from this former mod, lol.

One would think that a lead-off walk would lead to more runs than a lead-off home-run, but it’s not true. We’ve researched it and this year a lead-off home-run has led to more multi-run innings than have lead-off walks.

Wow, Tim McCarver, did someone actually need to research that? It's painfully obvious.
