stats is one thing, but when it gets to the point where the announcers are saying things like, "this switch hitter has a .500 average, batting left handed, against right hand relief pitchers, in the 7th inning, at home, with 2 bases occupied, and at least a 4 run lead, after the all star break..." then its friggin' ridiculous.
and that doesn't happen, so I don't know what you are talking about, at least it never happens on the games I'm watching and I watch quite a few of them.
