It doesn’t matter because the OP is making comparisons where comparisons can’t be made. Ruth came up during the dead ball era and Ohtani plays in the modern era. You cannot make a comparison between the two. So anything that is said can only be subjective. The OP’s opinion is that Ohtani is not having one of the greatest seasons ever. That’s all it is, an opinion. Please stop acting as if it’s not an opinion because it is. There is no factual basis to make the argument that he’s not having one of the greatest seasons ever because your stats are being pulled from different eras of baseball history.

We literally developed a stat to compare the greatest seasons from all eras and comparatively, Ohtani is having the 130th best season ever, you then call it an opinion simply because it doesn’t match your take, it doesn’t work like that

This answer here is why you have zero credibility. And I will not lower myself to your level to argue with you when your argument is trying to make a comparison to an era which MLB has deemed to be the dead ball era to the era in which we currently play also known as the modern era. It’s apples and oranges. No stat you can provide changes that. So have fun convincing people of your point of view

You do understand that Ruth played for 22 seasons, only 6 of which were in the dead ball era. The rest of your post boils down "You're wrong. I'm right. And I don't have to prove why".

Yeah that’s the way to get someone to come around to your point of view. Let me ask you a few questions regarding both eras: Are the balls the same? Are the bats the same? Are the fielding tools the same? Was the level of competition the same? Is there empirical evidence to support stats such as batting avg, fielding percentage (what defines an error or not), pitching stats (velocity, pitch types etc)? And many other questions that separate those two eras in the game!! There is no stat that can quantify those questions. Not WAR, not UZR, not ops, not obp, not DRS!!! None of our so called advanced metrics can do this to make a quantifiable argument. Everything you have said is complete conjecture. It’s an opinion it’s that simple. So if you want to continue making an a s s of yourself go ahead. It doesn’t change the actual facts of the argument regardless of how loud you yell or how much you try to bully the forum participants who disagree with you.

The rule changes that turned the dead ball era into the live ball era were adapted when Ruth was playing. He still excelled far and above the rest of his peers. Let's agree that everything I said was conjecture. Perhaps but my conjecture is based on the stats available to us. Yours is based on your feelings and perception of how different the two eras must have been.

Who's bullying who? You came on here to simply troll the OP based on some past history between you two. You resorted to numerous ad hominems. You replied that he was wrong but basically said he wasn't worth your time to explain why. I pointed that out. I guess that's bullying you.
