Yeah.. stats don't mean shit. I mean..why would a manager like to have stats? They should just put whoever they feel like in the game no matter what the stats say.
Look, we all know that stats don't determine the outcome of the game necessarily. But we all know that stats have their place. If I'm a manager and I have a relief pitcher that has blanked a certain guy his whole career and it's late in the game.. those stats come in handy because it plays the percentages. So to say that stats don't mean shit is pure bollocks and we all know it.
