When it comes to stats, we can have fun with numbers. Baseball is a particularly egregious offense. This second baseman is slugging .400 when there are two outs on the road against left-handed pitching and when the moon is in a waning crescent. It gets a little obnoxious. Football can be the same, and there’s always a stat to prove whatever point that needs to be made. As Mark Twain once said – people use stats the way drunks use lampposts, for support, not illumination. But when the numbers are neat and tidy, they really pop. And T.J. Watt is about to pop.
