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与Gregg Giannotti伪造棒球棒球分析数据文章，文章内写说FLUMP
的影响力在业界越来越大了。绿帽、梅子与国民的GM都被拿出来背书。准备好好
恶搞好同事Joe Benigno....
Gregg Giannotti在推特写到
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.

讨厌数据分析的Joe Benigno如果有好好读文章他就能发现他的好伙伴耍他
光看到A low FLUMP number could lead to Tommy John surgery, hip displacement,
or in severe cases, IBS.这段就很怪了，IBS是大肠激躁症 XD
