It only bothers me when he clearly hasn’t bothered to learn anything at all about what he’s criticizing. He and Neverett had an exchange during (I think) the Twins series that when something like this:
Tim: Some of these stats today.
Steve: You know how I feel!
Tim: (as if reading the ingredients on a box of Oreos) Defense Independent Pitching Stats.
Steve: What? What is that?
Tim: You got me.
Steve: Defense independent. What does that mean?
Tim: I don’t even want to know.
Steve: Sounds complicated.
Tim: Doesn’t tell a story, that’s for sure.
