John Olerud: Hall of Famer?

Spirited -

People like yoU are why science exists..

 

And people like you are why remedial reading exists.

 

A hammer falls faster than a feather in a vacuum. If you considered the human factor and not your precious physics formulas, you'd understand that.

 

Rick, aside from being insulting, you're implying that the laws of physics are equal to Bill James' calculation of the worth of a walk. I think you're smarter than that.

 

He probably isn't smarter than that but he is a condescending prick

 

I'm flat-out saying that statistical studies applying the scientific method reveal the same truths about baseball that the method has revealed about the universe, and that the deniers are no better than the flat-earthers.

 

I'm smart enough for that and I am a condescending prick.

 

Hey, LTL's neighbor's girlfriend says that a walk is worth .4 of a single, not .6. And that's good enough for him.

 

Her formula is just as good as yours, maybe better.

 

I assume everyone's kidding.

But just in case there are children watching, a hammer and a feather dropped in a vacuum would fall at the same rate.

It's actually a specific reference.

 

I can clearly observe that a hammer is faster than a feather. Don't bring your contrived BS into this without considering the human factor.
