No one thinks La Russa CAN'T use analytics but why hire someone who needs to be re-trained.
No one thinks TLR CAN'T relate to Anderson but why hire someone with his comment history
No one thinks TLR CAN'T handle a 162 games at his age but why hire someone where it's a question.
Theres one line in Moneyball (I think it’s a Joe Morgan line) that opposes analytics and I think its great.
Something like-
“Stats & tendencies will hold up over a 162 game season, but for one game, one at bat, you can throw statistics out the window.”
Feel for the game
Recently had a conversation with someone about the Astros scandal. He was giving outrageous claims saying what they did wasn’t really cheating, then at the end he goes, “yeah I don’t really watch baseball though” get tf outta here man😭
