Analytics is a tool, and like any tool can be used smartly or stupidly.

You're kidding yourself if you think the surviving teams aren't practicing their own form of analytics.

yet weirdly there seem to be exponentially more TJ surgeries in the analytics era than when they just let the studs pitch complete games regularly - hollywood big shot Oct 7, 08:50 9

  - the game was good enough to not need a shot clock or dipshit free runner on second in extra innings? -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 7, 09:52 3
    - Sure, timer clocks have really hurt baseball and basketball. -- (pic) - David Oct 7, 09:56 [Attachment] 2
      - Seriously -- for all the (deserved) hate Manfred gets, the pitch clock is absolutely working the way he'd hoped. - Will Hunting Oct 7, 09:58 1
        
        I'm kinda stunned how anti-climatic and successful the whole thing has been. -- nm - David Oct 7, 10:02
- 30 years ago, no one threw 100 other than Nolan Ryan. -- (edited) - Will Hunting Oct 7, 08:59 3
  - Yup. Guys are in much better condition and throw much harder but we're not built to throw a baseball let alone at 100+ mph. - Krusty Oct 7, 09:31 2
    - Looking at that kid's delivery I posted yesterday...he's having to go deeper into that Inverted W to get the 2-3 mph necessary to be special. - Will Hunting Oct 7, 09:54
    - Nolan Ryan won his lone WS ring in 1969. throwing gas only gets you so far anyway. give me 100 crafty left-handers for one Nuke La Loosh -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 7, 09:36
Any person who doesn’t believe that gut feelings has a place is also nuts. - Will Hunting Oct 7, 08:40
Analytics? Sounds dirty. We just ask 80 year old guys what the eye test says. -- nm - White Sox Oct 7, 08:23
