Thank you Zach Greinke for leading the FIP parade!
NY Times’ Tyler Kepner reports that he said:
“That’s pretty much how I pitch, to try to keep my FIP as low as possible,” Greinke said.

As Bill James said on an unrelated matter:
To address the question on a somewhat more sophisticated level. . .changing opinions is not a rear-guard action. There are cutting-edge thinkers, there are well-informed people who keep up with the cutting-edge thinking, and then there are several grades of people who lag behind the curve. You don’t change opinions by worrying about the people who lag behind the curve. They’ll catch up eventually. You change opinions by addressing the people who are nearer the head of the parade.
So obvious, and yet it takes someone with Bill’s writing skills to say it so clearly.
