Couldn’t Have Said It Better Myself
Published by Yigael Yadin April 10th, 2008 in Shameless self-promotion, Media, SabermetricsI would just like to direct our handful of readers, especially those who may not read firejoemorgan.com regularly (and if you don’t, you really should), to FJM’s latest post on an atrocious article by Jim Armstrong that just so happened to be published by Andrew’s very own AOL. It’s a fine job of deconstruction, as always, by FJM. Enjoy.

I don’t think you were kidding when you described this as the worst article ever written in the history of the world ever…or whatever it was. Seriously, are WHIP or OPS that F-ing hard to understand? If you passed 5th grade arithmetic, the answer would be no. It does not require a Harvard Physics degree to understand (or even calculate).
So I guess we know that Jim Armstrong is either incredibly lazy or ignorant. My gut tells me it’s the former, but I honestly can’t be sure…Until proven otherwise, I’m just going to go ahead and assume this was written from within the confines of an asylum. It’s the only way I can retain my faith in the human race.
Yeah, I’ll just say I don’t agree with what he wrote and leave it at that. Jim tackles the lighter side of sports generally, but there wasn’t much light about this piece, at least if you consider yourself a sabermetrician.
