Difference between someone who loves baseball and a Holy Writer?
A Holy Writer decries how performances are synthesized into cold hard numbers, while in a bitter taste of irony, they themselves often REFER to some of those cold hard numbers. For example: if you get a shutout in Game 7, REGARDLESS of HOW the pitcher managed to get a shutout, is all that matters.
Someone who loves baseball will go back and watch the entire game, and shows how you should NOT TRUST THE NUMBERS, and instead, appreciate how the narrative could have easily changed, if not for one play.
