Information Explosion in the New Box Scores
- Share via
Earlier this season, some writer pointed out a particularly useless bit of statistical information to Todd Benzinger. Todd’s cogent reply: “Another stupid stat in a world of stupid stats.”
Now the stat-heads, in a burst of useless info, have rendered the box scores unreadable. “Runners left in scoring position”? “Runners moved up”? “Runners not advanced by batter”? Who sits awake at night and thinks these up?
Obfuscation reigns over clarity.
