Of course, some people don't develop statistical expectations. They consider those stats, along with HR, RBI, etc., and add personal observation (You know, HUMAN factor).

I know you put "human" in big capital letters because you think I'm this big stat "geek" who thinks that robots play baseball on computers.

I'm not.

 

And some people use vague terms like "HUMAN" to try to hide from the fact that their cherished personal observations are often provably wrong.

 

Only if you consider VORP, WAR, etc, as proof.

I don't.

Nor do I consider a walk being worth "about .6 or .7" of a single to be worthwhile.
