Facts are stupid things

You know, it's things like this garbage by Paul Daugherty that fuel the cult of personality we see in Redsland, where certain players are beloved and others are run out of town.

The offending comment:
"Of course, Brandon Phillips won’t hit .197, but Edwin Encarnacion might."
Based on what? Encarnacion has never hit below .251 in a full season. He has a career .261 average and is only 26 years old - he hasn't even hit his prime.

Guess what? That .261 career average is higher than Brandon Phillips' career average of .260.

But Daugherty never lets facts get in the way of his ranting against players he irrationally hates. He doesn't like Edwin, so in his mind, Edwin might hover around the Mendoza line. But Brandon Phillips? He's the cleanup hitter, so he's not gonna hit .197!

I'll leave you with a classic.

BP needs to start running out some of those groundballs and pop flys if he wants to get the respect of fans (and writers) in Cincinnati. I'd also recommend that he wipe that grin off his face after making outs.

I agree. I've never liked Paul Daughtery. Who does he think he is?
