Another example of passive fans allowing baseball media to hide what's important

A major baseball media website, Fox sports.com, headlines this article purporting to tell the real truth about "closers." Fooled again. Its first aim is to sell the "save" stat--anyone connected with MLB, ESPN, the Red Sox, Padres, and FoxSports (an occasional brave exception as I've noted by Ken Rosenthal) considers this Job 1--I've documented this in detail as can anyone who's interested. By, of course Kevin Hench, "Getting Closer to Truth about Closers."
The phony Gagne total save stat is invalid to start with because it ignores the post season. Scott Boras has said (on XM) there isn't nearly enough consideration given to what the 3 levels of post season play take out of a player--and in particular a pitcher. This would put Gagne on the back burner right away, and Mariano Rivera on the front burner--and the baseball media guys would rather kill themselves than do this. It starts in a blur because Hench is trying to explain injury-prone Gagne's poor performance in Boston. Then,

• Sells the "conversion" stat which again tells nothing about the difficulty of the "save"

• Invokes a 9 years' ago save stat from a former Red Sox closer.

• Makes no mention of post season saves in the heralded time period 2002-2004 (that nicely gets rid of Rivera while Gagne is relaxing on the couch--except for a yawning just-for show appearance in 2 innings in which his team was losing by several runs in the 1st round of the post season in 2004).
  

• Sets the thesis that the total save stat 2007 YTD--determines who the top closers are.

• KARL RAVETCH AND OTHERS ON ESPN HAVE PUT DOWN RIVERA COUNTLESS TIMES WHEN HE'S HAD MORE 'OPPORTUNITIES.' WHY ISN'T THE 'SVO' STAT MENTIONED IN THIS MAJOR WEBSITE STORY ABOUT TOP CLOSERS?

"Equal Time" or "The Fairness Doctrine" are needed in baseball media.
