Statistics, and especially advanced stats like XYZf123 or whatever, give a false illusion of indisputable, scientific proof, allowing people like you and your ilk to present manipulated facts in a way that deceives people more convincingly than a simple lie ever could. I'd actually take a supposed antiquated stat like ERA over XYZf123 any day, which the Braves have a lower one over us.
And right on cue, our supposed way better pitching loses us the game.
