I know I can learn it. But, again, I'm a relatively smart guy. I've been following baseball for over 35 years. Baseball is "my sport." I listen to or watch hundreds of games a year. I'm into baseball, even if I'm not an advanced stat nerd. And popular level baseball articles are starting to get to the point where they are cause a non-nerdy, huge baseball fan's eyes to glass over a bit. I get that fandom needs to adapt to change (which is what this fan is attempting to do with the thread), but if advanced stat nerdiness is starting to turn away longtime fans, imagine what it's doing to casual fans. Again, I don't think advanced stats are a problem.
