With Mike Francesa on vacation, longtime WFAN veteran Joe Benigno was filling
in as one of the hosts for the afternoon drive-time show. To have fun on a
Friday, producer Brian Monzo and co-host Gregg Giannotti played an amazing
prank on Benigno.
The pair wrote a fake article touting a new sabermetric stat championed by
Billy Beane: FLUMP. They even promoted the prank on Twitter:
Brian Monzo與Gregg Giannotti偽造棒球棒球分析數據文章，文章內寫說FLUMP
的影響力在業界越來越大了。綠帽、梅子與國民的GM都被拿出來背書。準備好好
惡搞好同事Joe Benigno....
Gregg Giannotti在推特寫到
We are going to trick Joe at the top of the hour. We made up a fake saber
metric stat that we are saying the mets are using. Don't miss it.
Joe hates analytics in baseball. This fake story we wrote may make him
explode. Coming up right now on @WFAN660

The FLUMP story written by @GioCBS, @CMacWFAN and myself to mess with
Benigno. Will post audio shortly.
There’s nothing quite like a stat with a funny acronym to make people who
despise sabermetrics filp out. And in the article, they managed to hit on
all the right buttons to light a fire under Benigno – skipping starts for
Matt Harvey, references to Stephen Strasburg and Rick Peterson, and the
creation of “Sabermatricians Weekly.” It all led to an irate Benigno
ripping FLUMP limb from mythical limb in a fantastic bit of audio.

討厭數據分析的Joe Benigno如果有好好讀文章他就能發現他的好夥伴耍他
光看到A low FLUMP number could lead to Tommy John surgery, hip displacement,
or in severe cases, IBS.這段就很怪了，IBS是大腸激躁症 XD
