While I agree that baseball stats seem ridiculous (and my dad and I have argued that point for years), we tend to live in a data driven world these days. Schools are now driven by data and incentives, and so are businesses (the same as ESPN and MLB.)
When I see Terry Francona walk out to the mound to take Corey Kluber out of the game when it seems he has complete control in the 8th inning, there is some sort of data that Francona looked at that made him go get Scott Atchinson out of the pen. I scream for a bit, but then what do you do when you see the stats (Atchinson has a 0.45 ERA lifetime during night games on the road since 2006 against so-and-so on deck?) I love and hate all this data!  Jimi
