I prefer runs scored.

 

We're ahead of KC in runs per game, and closing in on Baltimore and Seattle.

 

That's a little bit more important than Batting Average or (B)rian (A)nderson.

I prefer team OPS; it's .688. That's good for 30 points behind Baltimore for 2nd to last in the AL, and 27th in the majors.

I think as far as team stats go runs scored is more important. If we are looking at individual players i agree I tend to look at OPS.

Why the poop would you prefer ops when you're looking at team stats?

Because it's more predictive of future runs scored than is R/G.

 

OPS correlates to runs scored at about a coefficient of .97.

 

Runs scored correlates to runs scored at a coefficient of 1.00. How can OPS be "more predictive"?

Cheat, I have no idea what any of this outside of R/G means. Where does this rank me with regards to my qualifications to work for the Sox scouting staff? :P

 

In all seriousness, please keep it simple for goofs like me.
