The ball knowingest ball knower to roam the planet

@OHoopty @orwellian They actually are subjective, but the people who made them will only admit if you really catch them. Most people think they're calculated.

And even if they were calculated, batted ball locations have changed dramatically in the last 20 years and they'd need to be recalculated.

[Unc @UncKnowsBall_]

@SouthJerzGiants @LeeTrocinski @MarkKnudson41 Because of speed. It's true that more people can play 1B than other positions, but that doesn't make it easier or less important than RF or LF. It's not, anybody who has played the positions (or other infield positions) can tell you that.

@gsteve27 @OPS_BASEBALL It's somebody using the same stat twice for impact instead of using a different metric.

@S0a__py @PastTheEyeTest There's no surer sign of a fake expert.

[Unc @UncKnowsBall_]

@KeybrdoftheNrth @RichinLa12 @MLBonReal Because those stats (they're really one stat) don't include 6/7 of his errors.

[Unc @UncKnowsBall_]

@Seth_3773 Laughable. But don't question them or you're stupid.

@thepainguy Throw the ball down in the zone and they pull weak grounders all day

@JacobBSpeaks @tangotiger I'm curious, how old are you?

[Unc @UncKnowsBall_]

@JacobBSpeaks @tangotiger The man invented half the stats you use every day, you should only be listening.

[Unc @UncKnowsBall_]

@RyanGarciaMLB Nothing to worry about

@Robfeliz @SlangsOnSports @CharlieRGa He’s not in their company if you care about innings

@stillwaiting73 @BiggestJohnStud @triplef02 @honestsoxfan @jacobpedulla11 @RedSoxEnjoyer24 @Angels @Yankees @MLB @georgelombardjr @RaysBaseball @Phillies @Marlins Can you believe he missed this one?

[Unc @UncKnowsBall_]

@JohnKincade @DailyHombre It’s not, they just shouldn’t be trouncing rule-abiding public schools in every level of the state playoffs. Many private schools don’t play in PIAA for this reason, the PCL says they play by public school rules and they don’t.

@JDumasReports @MikeSielski Lower Merion recruits their ass off. Their big star from a few years ago was ineligible (5th year of high school) and they knew it.

@drsbaitso1969 @Nanaththananan @MLB @googlecloud What are you talking about? The fielder can go wherever he wants to field the ball. The runner must avoid him. Little league stuff.

[Unc @UncKnowsBall_]

@GreenfieldMax18 @cheapseatsgm @frankgarbs @BaseballWRLD_ Do you think his fielding/position/running cover the fact that Yordan has produced 4x the batting value?

Statcast weighs speed much too heavily, should be used lightly for awards.

[Unc @UncKnowsBall_]

@ChrisCoop_ @YankeesStats Baseball Prospectus has public minor league metrics, and they don't think Jones was good.

OAA wouldn't cover these recent mistakes anyway, it's just catching balls in the air (or not).

[Unc @UncKnowsBall_]

@Nanaththananan @MLB @googlecloud I think Winn's arm is quite valuable, but this play isn't really the best example of it for anybody who understands infield play. He chose to make the play more difficult to flash his arm. And that's OK.

[Unc @UncKnowsBall_]

@stillwaiting73 @BiggestJohnStud @triplef02 @honestsoxfan @jacobpedulla11 @RedSoxEnjoyer24 @Angels @Yankees You haven't yet, at all. None of those three statements (two of which are wrong) prove anything.

If I show you a bad OAA play does that prove anything? It shouldn't, but I could show you hundreds. Guess who lost a full OAA on this play?
