I'm always amazed at how quickly stats turn from "joke" to "serious thing we should draw conclusions from" for some people. After game 1, everyone pretty much agrees the stats are a joke, we all like to chuckle at a hitter batting zero or 1.000 or 0.500 or 0.667. But 8 games is different?

I've always contended that you can start to draw some conclusions after the first twenty games of an everyday starter. It's BS, but that's generally my own personal rule of thumb.
