I thought you were implying MLB.com added those stats.

Unrealistic expectations, I know.

For those children who claimed they’ve been a fan of their favorite team all their life, or even since they were about four or five years old: bullshit. There’s always that certain event or certain player that draws to the sport and draws you to a team. For me, Nomar Garciaparra was that reason. - Nick Coviello: I Try To See Rocco, But All I Think Is Nomar; 1/9/09

Wait a minute

Isn’t the main point regarding a hitter’s strikeout total supposed to be that you shouldn’t go apeshit over a hitter’s high K total if he contributes with OBA and SLG, not that you should ignore how a hitter makes an out altogether?

Also: “This story was not subject to the approval of Major League Baseball or its clubs.”

I'm excited for the comments section!

It has stuff like this:

BRNXBMR :…Go back to New York. Nobody is interested in your Mickey Mantle comparisons. There a dozens upon dozens of players in the MBL HOF with numbers as good as Mickey Mantle. In case if you’re wondering, OBP is not a production number, and should not be used as something he achieved. The pitcher simply took the bat out of his hands. A power hitter, and run producer, should be driving the ball and bringing in the runners. The OBP numbers should be used to evaluate the #1 and #2 hitters. Power hitters are evaluated by their SLG numbers. Lesson 2, learn your baseball before you start writing and look like a fool.

lolwut

Sabermetric thought has made for a smarter game, but like everything else in life, baseball is all about context — which Sabermetricheads always seem to forget.
