[semperfoo24]

What does WHIP even stand for?? also, OPS??

[vivekcincy]

@semperfoo24 WHIP = Walks-Hits-Innings Pitched (a stat for pitchers) OPS = On-base plus slugging (a stat for batters)

[KingOfKatamari]

Ahh, baseball, the international sport of nerds.

[FerociousFox]

Jocks aren't anything but sports nerds, lol. That's the joke.

[Song4Alex]

[khenessy1]

"ohhhhhh right i flipped it" bwahahhahaha. GREAT commercial

[ruggedrhymes]

4/5ths of all these comments are completely irrelevant or passive as hell

[ACDCoverdose]

jocks dont even talk sports or know anything that much about it.

[yeahmedude]

Chess players have great moves, those jocks were pawned.

[TheDSPsphinx]

[Mvenven]

I am a nerd. I love my Giants way too much

[DaleWF10]

Jocks seem soft they'd get knocked out in a school in England defianetly

[RandomStevie]

@DaleWF10 You do know this is a parody of what jocks really are? And by the way, how are those riots going?

[DaleWF10]

@RandomStevie Yeah I know but they do seem soft I have seen many American movies and shit, the Rioting stopped like a week ago

[ProlyfikShotz]

@DaleWF10 Yeah, you've seen a few movies, you really know American culture thoroughly. ROFL

[DaleWF10]

@ProlyfikShotz I've seen many and they would get knocked out in an English school, Defianetly.

[iplayfhorn]

I bet those guys end up working at the same engineering firm.

[mattfaulkner]

Gary.

[croutonthegreat]

That kid's got the best laugh

[Theburn77]

they didn't show the part where the jocks beat the ever loving shit out of the nerds in the hallway outside the cafeteria

[gigglyj7814]

the ccommercial makes me laugh bt i do have to say.. its way stereotypical. i thought this generation was about breaking down those stereotypes because i can testify that i am a STUDENT athlete. all athletes at my school are. JUST SAYING! bt thumbs up to making me laugh! :)

[TheHockeyCentral]

Yeah it's whatever..look check this out...

[SonDimz]

[JCbanks71]

[KicksonFire392]

@JCbanks71 its extremely obvious he says gary..

[Zackefrae1]

[giantsfan6017]

I love how their all gingers

[pats4lifebb]

i probobly know way more about sports than anyone at my HS and im not even close to that bad LOL

[grasd2]

lol WHIP is a new age sabermetric stat? i have baseball cards from the early 80s with that stat on the back.  you're really new age and innovative espn.

[flatchyu]

Bullies Rock!!! Thanks for keeping the caveman current ESPN. Classy.

[chriskupka]

First line is "This dude has a sick VORP". Value Over Replacement Player - It's a statistic that nobody in the Sabre community has used in years, and has since been replaced by several other metrics, most notably WAR. Prima facie evidence that the people at ESPN still know as little about baseball as the people at the Discovery Institute know about evolutionary biology.

[Cdub2k]

@chriskupka

nerd

[KillenEMsoftly]

@chriskupka Nerd!

[slapshot02559]

whatever gary

[SpartyFan1213]

hilarious

[nubbs]

"RBI's are a bullshit statistic"

[Johnnybuze]

It's funny because the nerds call the jocks "nerds!"

[cjwigles]

What is the first line of the commercial? i cant hear it...

[mcrdexfan]

the .03 difference in lincecum's WHIP would probably come from his leaving the large expanses over AT & T ballpark since as stated by Bill James ballparks have a big effect on the way pitchers pitch but yeah the commercials not that good

[disastrr]

@mcrdexfan How much of a douche do you have to be to actually answer the question?

[mike23456789101112]

@disastrr lmao

[mcrdexfan]

the .03 difference in lincecum's WHIP would probably come from his leaving the large expanses over AT & T ballpark since as stated by Bill James ballparks have a big effect on the way pitchers pitch

[crimsonlung]

I love how the two top rated comments (which I have both thumbed down) say this is the best commercial ever when in actuality its a horrible commercial that took very little thinking to make. Probably scibbled at some gay bar napkin like the rest of ESPN's terrible commercials.

[spxforward21]

@crimsonlung nerd

[lordofwrath88]

@crimsonlung nerd

[benjamoats]

whatever gary! hahaha

[xXxTrUbAmFxXx]

only nerds would say this is the best commercial on ESPN

[MrMadwolf92]

@xXxTrUbAmFxXx Truefax.

Btw, this is the best commercial on ESPN.

[Jathro7]

hands down the best commercial i've seen in a long, long time

[jack10133]

@Jathro7 Hands down, you're a fag

[trackmaster152002]

@ZapatistaDiF Well, that's what makes them nerds! If they understood their stats, they could be sitting with the cool kids.

@brettiefresh Even with the difference in ball park (and maybe feeling more confident in front of a home crowd) WHIPs that are only .03 apart are statistically identical, and there cannot be any distinction between the two.

[Drumnbeats3]

ESPN / SportsCenter have turned out some GREAT commercials over the years, but this has got to be up at the very top.

[carnut888]

What a riot. Talk about turning the tables.

[beisbolnut24]

whatever gary

[SlamJamThankYouSam]

We rule!!!

[ZapatistaDiF]

What accounts for that 0.03 difference? VARIANCE! Mother effing VARIANCE! I swear to god, NOBODY on ESPN has taken a stats class in their entire lives.

All three times I've seen this ad, I've literally screamed "variance!" at the TV. Nice EWP drop, but us stat nerdjocks are more likely to be discussing BABIP, xFIP, wOBA, etc.

[MrAtomicBond]

@ZapatistaDiF its just supposed to be funny. Dont take it so seriously. Its not ESPN knowing about it, the high schoolers are trying to figure it out. Get over yourself.

[brettiefresh]

@ZapatistaDiF I have to agree with MrAtomicBond, it's just supposed to be funny dude. And in addition, some would argue that park factors have more to do with that difference than variance.

[QXZ]

@ZapatistaDiF whatever, GARY

[mrchevys3]

Funny I have a friend that always makes fun of geeks and nerds, but he's exactly like the jocks in this commercial.

[AnE000002]

@mrchevys3 sports math is never nerdy. sports math is cool.
