Thus leading to people saying "the guys on Fox said..." as if they are
somehow well informed by listening to the drivel.

The "guys on Fox" usually just point out the obvious...like the fact
that the Tigers pitching sucks, and that their highly paid offense
is a flop so far this season.

It doesn't take an expert to see that.

No. In this case, they overlook the obvious, to the point of being
misleading. Halladay is on this list, with an average of 107 pitches per
start, BUT, no mention of his five complete games. Who among us would not be
thrilled to see a starter throw nine on 107 pitches?!?!?
