We tend to think that everyone knows this stuff. Everyone doesn't. So if you see WAR and BABiP and don't know what in blazes we're talking about, here's just the thing: Amanda Rykoff's handy-dandy sabermetrics primer.

Indeed...
…the very Amanda Rykoff article he linked to gives us permission to say “opps.”
And then there’s the Oxford English Dictionary’s opinion on the accepted American English pronunciation of “primer,” but that’s neither here nor there.
Although I suppose it’d be only fair if I say “o-p-s” to myself whenever I read one of the Management’s articles on here, rather than “opps.”
