Baseball Statistics R Sabermetrically Dumb

from Sports R Dumb · host Joey Held, Sean Hill

With the baseball playoffs nearly upon us, we've got a special guest on this episode — Haleigh from the OG Parks n Wrecked crew! She joins because she's rankled by how baseball measures player statistics. She believes a home run should be its own category and shouldn't also count as a hit, an RBI, or a run. But what should happen when, say, a ball hits off Jose Canseco's head and goes over the wall?  And if that's not enough, Sean and Haleigh are also displeased by the positional scoring system in baseball, such as a 6-4-3 double play. Why is the first baseman number 3, they ask? Shouldn't he be number 1?  We're also chatting about bowling and using contraptions to give you an advantage, such as bumpers and those little rollercoaster things you can push the ball off of. We live in wild times. Plus, a silly sports cliche in taking one for the team.
