RBIs, ERA, wins and losses are all garbage dinosaur stats.
WAR and FIPS tell you what the player actually did. The garbage dinosaur stats tell you what the player AND the rest of the team did together. In the case of ERA, it's not just what the pitcher and the rest of the pitching staff and the defense did, it's also what decisions the official score subjectively made about what was an error and what wasn't. RBI is controlled by batting order position, and the OBP's and batting position of the other batters.
It's foolishness to think that those stats mean anything significant. If you hate FIP then at least use R/9 instead of ERA to at least get the subjectivity out of it

According to OOTP itself, OOTP MLB play (modern and historical) outnumbers OOTP fictional play three to one.
Five thousand thanks for a non-modder? I never thought I'd see the day. Thank you for your support.
